I like both but it is great combining both with with a large splash of soda water with a lime wedge.

I can see what they're getting at with them being dull and repetitive, but I'm not sure I get the "no 'who would win in a fight'" bit. I've had conversations IRL of that sort that were interesting and forced me to think about my favorite characters in different ways. But maybe that conversation works differently on a forum? People are less thoughful and simply cheer for their favs?

Also, try not to make Vs. Threads please.
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.
It works a lot different on a forum. All logic is thrown in the toilet and it boils down to idiotic, ball-numbing fanboyism.summerof2010 said:But maybe that conversation works differently on a forum?
