This is a bit of a shallow topic (no offense), I'll admit, but what's wrong with vs. threads?
From the "Bannhammer" stickied thread.
Locked/Deleted Threads
This kind of moderation is probably the most common on the forums, but has no effect on the user themselves (unless coupled with a probation/suspension/ban). What it does is prevent a thread from being replied to, thus letting it sink down through the pages to a point of obscurity.
There are two kinds of locks out there:
The normal lock, as described above; or
Thread/Post deletion, used to eliminate posts or threads that would be better off not seeing the light of day.
Here are some thread categories that are sure to receive a lock:
Vs. Threads: Who would win in a fight: A or B? Which is better: X or Y? These are dull, repetitive, and are surefire ways to start a flame war. All three things that The Escapist does not wish to be recognised as.
