... meh... good idea.. wait till 2-3 weeks and open it back up..

If you lock offtopic, all the spam and pointless thrads will spread across the forum....
Locking - bad idea

If a flame war bursts, a responcible moderator should lock it ASAP
Unlike some other modetaros that actually fuel the flaming, as some of us saw in the last flame war *Points at NFSjunkie*

Yeah, some of the mpds don't lock the topic right away and they purposefully let it sit in order to let the topic rage on.

If there is a flame topic, do we report the first post and say that the entire topic is flaming?

Why not just stop flaming?

Its hard, its like trying to quit smoking after 20 years...
We can do it, it will take time though....

Off Topic is cool!

Lol@actually far more active.

And, there is an off-topic section. It's restricted to members who register and have 100 plus posts.

But, you're right, there aren't very many flame wars.

(I know because I was a moderator there)

I liked DRFF more when there was no OT. It was centered around CC and not random crap.

And to the people who say to get out if we don't like it, the way that we hear the most discussion about banned mambers, and members in general is through OT. If we don't use OT then we really don't get to know members. If we remove it, then we would begin learning through the normal forums.
