except maybe donny the bus crasher. too many personalities to love. ***you might be down with 5 or 6 of them, then..... WHAM the 7th one cereal kills your mf'ing lucky charms.
I think either nuking or locking is *** unless the thread is a total disaster, which is actually a rarity here. I don't agree that an OP "owns" a thread and gets to shut down the conversation just being they don't like it.
Exactly what kind of power do you think a thread started should have señor?
Generally speaking? None. That is what moderators are for.
A forum thread is the seed for discussion.
I'm against deleting pretty much always(unless it's some kind of totallynotavirus link or something..)
Though requesting a lock I think it's fair if the conversation has drifted miles away from the original intent. It should be evaluated though of course, not be auto-accepted.

I disagree and for example enjoy being able to edit my own thread titles as I add data
Always keeping my thread title accurate etc
You are more than welcome to disagree. There is a world of difference between editing a thread topic (in many cases simply locked to non-mods to prevent abuse), locking, and deleting. Arguably, one is maintenance while the other two are operational.
I wish I had a total number of reports I've gotten from within locked threads, but one day I had 21 reports stacked up from someone who read back and was offended by a thread that had been locked for three days. I really don't see how it matters if it's locked or nuked if it's going to be one of the two. I could assume you guys are concerned about post counts..which doesn't drop when a thread is nuked.

Some threads need to stay for the memories they bring back, and lulz (most important). Others that are so hate filled need to be nuked.

For myself, my ego is far more concerned with being able to see the posts I made, especially on the occasions that I want to reference them. Having them disappear is inconvenient.
Not inconvenient enough to really worry about, though. It's just an internet forum, not my Ph.D dissertation.
I don't care about post count, but if a worthwhile conversation has been had I think it shouldn't just disappear. Discussion often offers learning too, or simply opens new points of view you didn't consider before.
It's my opinion that it is always worth leaving it for others to read.

Frankly, I don't give a damn about my post count. But if you recieved 21 complaints from a single person on a locked thread, that truly seems to either be a relatively large problem with either the thread, or the person doing the reporting.

Ok maybe i'm missing something with post counts, but really who the hell cares about that?

So, someone was upset by something that was already taken care of via being tossed in AH's blackhole days after the fact?

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
