Hugh 0ne Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 and who has the power to lock it? 852704[/snapback] Admins can lock a topic, it means no one else can post in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 locked topics are done by the mods (?) and admins. typically dealing with cutting insults towards the board owners or threads degenerating into verbal assaults and all out war. Cussing (if you can) is also cause to lock a thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gators Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 Why would they lock it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 A locked topic is an exciting Huddle day. It means somebody crossed the line or a topic is starting to go where it isn't supposed to go. You'll have to ask Carl regarding who has the keys. DMD is loaded with thread guns down there in Texas and WW can come out and pull the trigger as well. I'd pull the trigger on as many occasions as they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piranha Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Why is "Is there anyone better than Tom Brady" locked?....I haven't seen one inappropriate thing in all the replys? 852717[/snapback] Me either, just 8 pages of bickering. And Gilthorp asked to have it locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithkt Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Maybe after eight pages of the same tired rhetoric they decided to lock it and see if you guys could talk about anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) The thread had no rational discussion towards the end. It became a "Who's peener is longer" contest. It was dealt with approppriately imo. Edited June 24, 2005 by Hugh 0ne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are primed for "Is there anyone, who is really a wide receiver, better at playing defensive back, than Troy Brown?" Let's go for it! We all know by post 5, it will turn into a Brady/Manning nob fest anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 If you ever really want to get a thread locked, just criticize the huddle for selecting 2 quarterbacks in the first 4 rounds of a Sofa draft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHook Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 (edited) Did you notice that in the ESPY category for Best Male Athlete, Peyton Manning is nominated. Guess who was NOT nominated? Yep. Tom Brady. What do you think Gators? Edited June 24, 2005 by CaptainHook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Ready...aim... 852960[/snapback] Ah yes, my first laugh of the day Threads can be either deleted or locked. Deleted means something bad happened to it and likely by the time we got to it there was no way to merely delete a thing or two to improve it. Or it so veered into inapropriate areas that it has lost all value. Or leaving it up would only serve to spark another fire. Or I have a headache and I just plain do not like the thread. Rather subjective really. Locked means the thread is not going in a positive direction and, in the subjective view of those with passwords, keeping it alive will not serve any valuable purpose. But there is material in it with value, so you allow others to still read it if they so choose. Man. Now you got me all wanting to delete something or ban someone. Like an itch really...
