Deleted Threads

[Conway]

When a moderator deletes or renames a thread, it might be a good idea to make a note of it here so that anyone looking for that thread can know if it still exists.

&#A0;Deleted on 23/7/2004 - Off Topic Discussion - About Funny Rules.

[Liebatron]

sounds like a good idea to me.can you ask if you can restart a deleted topic?

[Conway]

Well, there's only one reason why a topic would be deleted - SPAM! If it started out as a useful and/or interesting thread, and then turned into spam of a flaming war later on, it would be better just locked or the useless comments deleted. But if a thread has been deleted, it's probably not worth restarting. Sure you're allowed, but it still has to follow the same rules as its predecessor.

Well...shouldn't the locked topics be deleted too?

[Conway]

Only if they're pointless. If they started out useful and turned into a spamming or flaming zone, then they can just be locked and still available for reading.

I think these topics are pointless and should be deleted too:

Off Topic:

- Let's help dumb_lem!
- Enough bad words!
- poster of the year.

- Let's help dumb_lem!
- Enough bad words!

Those should be deleted. Poster of the Year serves a purpose.

Off-Topic Discussion:

The active 'Poster of the Year' thread is still there.

It makes me feel sad when I make pointless topics.

I have absolutely no idea why the funny rules are not funny. What did we do?  O_o

[Andi]

Everything ended up in piss and poo.

[namida]

People started posting rules that weren't funny. The funny ones were ones like:

-No fuckin swearing
-No offensive language(ie: Japanese)


Not ones like what most people were posting.

Andi, I see you edited out the comment about French. However, it is actually part of the rule. I put something else though.

[G3K]

If memory serves, your own submissions went more or less along those lines.

Here are more topics to delete:


- L3D Musics... (Steaver already ripped out the musics from the scratched L3D CD, and it's not worth posting there)

- Moved: Sega Master System: Easiest/Hardest Unique Level?

- Schools back...darn it

- Latest News (Andi locked it! Ask Andi first if you can delete this topic)

Steaver, you did not censor one of the bad words in your last post once again!

[Andi]

The latest news is only a topic where I post major changes on the forum. Please don't delete it. As for the other topics: I don't know why you want to delete them. the moved one ok, but the others? It's sometimes fun to read the old stuff. I used to do this in LUDB very often.

[Ice_Eagle91]

Not ones like what most people were posting.

It's because you don't have a good sense of humor. And, in the topic "About Funny Rules," you said that we were st*pid in them. You're mean!  

Andi, another topic you can delete is the moved topic in Off-Topic Discussion. You know, the one that says "Moved" at the beginning.
