Help
As you have doubtless noticed, 43 topics posted over the past 45 days have been locked. Closed. Ended.
As you may or may not have guessed, this is because the vast majority of them were, to be honest... crap. So, in the interests of interesting topics, consider the following points-
1. Utterly random nonsense is stupid.
Just don't post it. Not in its own topic, not in reply to a topic. A link to an unusual site is fine. A debate about something out of the ordinary is also fine. "Squid", in and of itself, is a useless comment.
2. Stay relevant
This isn't the same thing as staying on topic. Staying relevant just means your post relates to the conversation at hand, or one of them. It doesn't even have to relate perfectly to the whole topic, just a part of it.
Keep these two points in mind and I don't forsee another mass locking.

I think I know the people who were largely responsible. I know, in real life, GandalfDaddy, Nemeis Horny, and whatever kind of Ferret related name Nathan chose for himself.

Actually Stryker (whom Laguna and I karmabanned) was a big player in that decision. Also, GD, there are several people watching you - be careful.

Stupid ferret, should've been a mongoose. The mongoose is a majestic poisonous snake eating weasel-like creature. And they live in India and stuff. Oh well, why didn't you just karma ban that bastard? (pardon my language please) It would be easier for all of us.

/me cheers
How did he last so long? I thought that his spam-topic riddled arrival (across multiple boards no less) was enough to warrant his ever-lasting removal. Oh well, at least he is gone. Three cheers for Avatara and Laguna!
