What really gets under MY skin is when a perfectly valid argument gets closed because one or two people find themselves unable to keep it mature.
Example: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...6&page=8&pp=15
I was having a mature and on-topic discussion with Brent, and this got closed because someone else ruined it.
Yes I could have continued the thing through PM, but then we wouldn't get others input on it now would we.
If I had started a new thread, I would have gotten it closed due to the trolling rule that was taken in effect upon the unofficial HOTM poll threads.
To me it seems like really bad judgement to just close threads like that. Why not delete the off-topic posts? Why ruin a whole discussion?
Yes I know the thread was threatened with the lock-stick yet it went on, but my point is that locking threads NOT completely filled with spam should rather see the deletion of spam posts than locking the entire topic.
