Problem: staff is locking topics because of someone breaking rules.
Solution: punish the people who're breaking the rules instead of locking the whole thread (you have a warning system and you can delete single posts)
We got a problem and the solution which makes this thread useless and everyone is going off topic now.
I suggest locking this thread and getting back to normal again.
If another thing like this happens the person who has a problem can make another thread where it can be maturely discussed.
Tricky misunderstood my side and went mad so I gotta make something clear.
I completely support the staff's decision for locking the threads.
However it came only that far that the threads needed to be locked because the people who started spamming/going off topic didn't get warned or their posts didn't get removed.
I give you an example.
Pig made that off topic joke and Ian continued with those jokes, then the next one made another one etc.
However if pig his post was deleted noone would have continued following pig and the thread wouldn't get trashed.
So yeah, the staff just needs to instantly remove those posts or warn the people instead of doing nothing till the thread is ruined and lock it then.
FM NEO FTW !!!!
