some threads should be deleted instead of locked?
Like the recent TN cheat thread and then the Ban Ranti thread, basically, both posters knew there was a very very high chance of them getting locked very fast but they still post them.
locking threads like that is not a deterent and therefore people still post them as they are still in the forum and people can still read them so the message they origionaly were trying to get accross will still be there. maybe if the thread were to be deleted we would get less of this ....
just my thoughts.

i think cup is arguing that ur credentials for threads entering that box need to be changed to include certain ones.
While the raneti one needed to die quickly i can see that the tN one serves a purpose (admittedly its turned into a F***ing flame war but, meh that happens 70% of the time) and indeed should be locked but not deleted. Having it visible so people can understand the situation is a valid reason.

the point im making is, i can start a thread that goes 'i hate betalord' or 'LOL AF IS CRAP'
and i know it wont get deleted ever.
why does a thread thats just full of flame need to survive, anyway it was just my thought
garrys mod forums are the best. this is what they do.
