YA, closing the thread would be a big leap. You say that some stuff posted hasn't been so good, yet nothing has been reported, has it. The staff has spent countless hours deleating stuff over time, yet people just don't get the hint and continue to post questionable stuff. I don't see any sense in being so nice about it any longer, and by the rules of this forum, sexually explicit or implicit stuff doesn't fly. Same goes for profanity in gif's that the filters cant catch because of being in an attachment. While the majority of the stuff in this thread is great stuff, and funny as all hell, the only way I see to get some people to catch on is not to go after the manifestation, but the host of the problem.
Maybe people will start to get on the few who are killing it for the rest. An internet blanket party so to speak............
I don't want to be a hard azz, and really don't want to shut down threads, but at this point I have no will to use my limited time going page by page through the threads that tend to have these problems. Now, you may think that this is the job of the staff, to go page by page through threads to look for problems. You would be a complete fool if you thought we have that ability. After dealing with a type of problem for a long time with limited results, it's well within the rights of the staff to change the way we deal with something.
Your old road is rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
