I am completely boggled by the fact that immediately after it's pointed out that a derail into a "This Troper" bitchfest is a bad idea, the thread takes a distinct turn toward being just that.
Entries, people. "Entries that make you LOL". Not "Snarking at the people who make entries that are now gone that you think were stupid." It's really a pretty easy distinction to make.

I'm kind of disappointed that the thread hasn't been that active in I don't know how long.
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOlol so many posts deleted...
I find it funny than for some threads, ONE post its enough for it to get itself closed, yet heres half the page with posts deleted and barely anything happended...
I am not sure if I should be glad or not. I dont want another thread closed.
"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death itself may die."I dislike post-thumping simply because it feels like censoring history, of which I disapprove. It's better than deleting the thread, though.

That is true.
Yes, but unless you copied and pasted the text before it got thumped, you'll never know exactly what any of the posts said.

I disapprove of thumping because I feel that deleting posts is hardly a punishment for someone breaking the rules.
That and they do not avoid most people from reading it. Only the people who come in late. And I think that's hadly enough to avoid discussions going out of hand and into ad hominem territory. Granted, I can't think of a way to get around this issue except mods acting quick and thus, I can't exactly solve it, but I think that it can be solved. —shrug—

It's more supposed to be (a) a symbolic WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THAT and (b) to prevent people from showing up late, reading back and restarting the fight.

Well let's not derail this into a "This Troper" bitchfest.
