    No, seriously, I meant it.

    The question is answered. It's up to Mod's discretion. I'm sure if they are in doubt they will confer with other Team members.

    I see no further useful purpose for the thread, anything else would just be spam.

    Ross is Admin, what does it matter what other people think.

    That's like saying "The Judge has spoken, let's hear what the Police think".

    To put none to fine a point on it, what does it actually matter.

    The Boss has already spoken. Everything else is, meh.

    Here's an example of a thread gone wrong. It's in the News Section and I felt that locking it was a bit much so I just threatened to delete any off-topic posts, given a fair warning of course.

    I see nothing wrong there. People are just pointing out that they'd never use Internet Exploder and prefer Firefox. Only a Microsoft fanboi would take offence tbh.

    It's mostly the n00b users (who occasionally flood the News Section for post count) that only post "I prefer Firefox" with no mention towards IE - gotta be careful and watch their posts...besides the main topic at hand is the future of IE and not the user's preference, however, comparing IE and FF is obviously no problem. I tried to word it very carefully...

    And I am a M$ fan as well as a Google fan. So far no posts have been deleted for that reason, but if someone notices that their post was deleted they can ask a higher power (Admin n'such).

    Sarcastic - No.

    Spam - Yes.

    Who could have predicted that.

    I agree.

    As I had run out of sensible meaningful words. The last one I used up in the lounge, and then it got moved to the Drawing Room.

    Edit: changing that comma into a full stop seems to have changed the context too..I might have to change it back later ( the one after agree).

    Well that and the fact Chewie,was pulling Hairbautt's chain . To Hairbautt's credit he did n't close as he would of looked like a fucking idiot . Now we can't object to a browser as it might offend the original poster ? Boy we gain two steps and fall back three .
