Closing Topics
Closing threads: If a whole topic is clearly outside the rules then it can be locked straight away, or in severe cases moved to Area 5p4m. Your closing post in the thread should clearly state why it was locked.
If a thread is descnding into a flamewar then generally a post saying "no more flaming please, otherwise I'll have to lock this thread" will do the trick; otherwise, padlock time and PMs to offenders.
How can someone be "warned" for starting topics, if that person hasn't been given a valid reason, either by PM or in the closure, about what rule they've broken? Surely, if the person is doing something outside the rules, they should be told so that they may stop.
