Recent locked threads increased by a lot

Here's what Sam says

You guys are crazy!

Thread closed.

Anyway!

I've been noticing the recent increase of locked threads. Don't feel bad if you have had a locked thread, 70% of the time it's not because of you.



Reasons threads get locked is they don't follow the ToS or the posts don't. There are many reasons like harassment, uselessness, flaming, arguing, clutter sometimes, etc.

What we can do to reduce locked threads is to stop posting bad posts, useless posts, flame posts, mean, rude, etc.


There has also been an increase of guides, and locked guides.

There are many things you need to ask yourself before posting about the guide or if you're the original poster, is it needed.

Here's the most important.

For the original poster 1. Is it needed? Has it been made?
For the commenters 2. Is your comment useful?
For the original poster 3. Is it just for thanks?

The answers for these questions should be

1. Yes. Yes or no, is another one needed, is the old one out of date, or maybe there's just one other, etc. If there are lots then it is probably not needed.

2. Yes.

3. No.
