The original thread by ISASO actually didn't incite anybody. It was more of a toot your own horn type of thread. It wasn't anything like what the BJ fan created this morning. Now that was a straight bait thread.

Don't kid yourself....they were both POS threads.

Please. They were both the exact same thing.

Guys, it's simple. When a thread stops being about a MVC topic and starts being about the individual posters, that's when things start getting locked/deleted.


Interesting.

Why was that thread was allowed to remain unlocked for several days while the others were locked after only a couple of hours?


Speaking for myself, mods don't read every post, or even every topic, for that matter. I know I don't have time for that and I'm guessing none of the other mods do, either. We catch some things as we run across them. Thus, we rely on others reporting questionable or inappropriate posts/topics.

Now you've done it. Prepare for 3 million post/thread reports over the foreseeable future.

I would have said something like: The moderators do their best to remain fair and impartial. Please understand that any perceived imbalance in moderative actions was not intentional. KTHXBAI!

Just to be clear, I agree the original thread start by ISASO wasn't what warranted the locking - it was the derailment of the thread later on that caused it. The other 2 I locked were both bait threads from the start.

Out of curiosity, why was that thread not considered a bait thread? What other possible purpose could that thread have been started for?

Independent of the post you're asking about, the end of the path you're taking with this question is having a policy that any and every post that could be considered questionable gets deleted, without comment or discussion.

That said, should any post that mentions significant dates or events at Creighton be considered bait? What about SIU? UNI? Drake? Or just WSU? The post in question didn't even mention CU, or any other current Valley member.

Well, in all fairness, that does seem to be the policy that was followed this morning.

Can you not talk about one's own team without it qualifying as trolling?
