Instead of locking threads, what do you guys think about instead just deleting all the bad comments?

I had a thread that had lots of good stuff in it, until some people started posting stupid shit. That resulted in the thread being locked. So now I can't comment in it.

With the thread locked, the stupid shit is still posted, and still being indexed by google/yahoo/bing. If comments are bad enough to lock a thread, I think they should be purged from the internet altogether.

While I'd like to see this too, that would be a pretty large chunk of work, on top of what the Mods already do.

The mods do have full time jobs and lots of cake to eat. While I think it would be awesome to delete comments, it would be quite a task to handle

LOL I hope your sarcasm was a counterpoint to my own.
There is a LOT of room for joking about "authority" and "power"... and that is all it would ever be from my viewpoint.
Humor.

I was picturing being in a basement, being fed through a small sliding door, the only source of light being the glow of multiple computer monitors... Poor little PMB watching and reading every thread, weighing the rightness and wrongness of each...

Then we'd finally have a website without wrongness in it. Because god knows, admin and moderators don't make mistakes. :wink05:

Exactly. Sometimes you will see a lock down happen, and then a cleanup later and re-open. And sometimes, the thread goes so far down the hill it is completely unrecoverable. It's a case by case basis.

^ This guy is no fun. Comes in here laying down the law like Eric Cartman



Who the hell made him the boss anyway?

Admin Edit: Hi Mike. Still want to go to SHOT?

What I meant to say was that mods make plenty of mistakes, but I have yet to see an error or oversight made by an Admin. And that I will continue to follow all orders that are Constitutionally Cool.

Admin Edit : You're a good boy Mike.
