crimsonking Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Ok, I know this will get locked, but this has been bugging me for some time now and I don't think theres any better place to ask this. The random picture thread was locked because the pictures were too random? What the hell is up with that? #-o Sure it was spammy, but what do you expect after naming it '*RANDOM* picture thread'? The memes and Online comics were to be expected, I mean come on people, what else do you think about when you hear the words 'random pictures'? They practically scream random, what is the big deal? If you didn't want it to be spammy or you wanted the pictures to fit into a certain criteria you should have named it something else, or not made it in the first place. Can someone explain to me the logic behind this? because I'm not seeing it at all. ~^v^~Ex-Leader of the Divine Flames of Redemption~^v^~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron1120 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Well... The thread was already locked before the last one because of inappropriate pictures (ie heavy swearing, etc). We let that go as a warning, but stressed on the next thread that we didn't want to deal with cleaning every other post for the same reasons. The thread began to get out of hand again, with pointless pictures that weren't even funny (actually they weren't even pictures)/inappropriate pictures again. We gave a final warning, but users still decided that they needed to post inappropriate things. < | Runehead | Learning Java Programming, Please PM Me Tips | Signature by Loaf2000 | > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sour_tacos Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I used to enjoy reading that sticky before it got so out of hand. I miss it, but it got real spammy, so I see why they got rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abyssalwhip Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Yeah it really should be re-opened but be more serious with people who spam it. Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripsis Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Yes, people began to spam/flame each other in that thread because they kept posting the same pictures/comics over and over again. After numerous warnings, people began posting downright inappropriate pictures that wouldn't be allowed anywhere on the site.
