If the first thread is locked, I demand it to also be stickied. <_<

[J0shuaKane]

what the fuck?

then what will we do, read the same bs over and over again? and locking threads will only lead to more thread creation. get your own website

(i have my own )

Look, just because you're frustrated with a few people who took to spamming the Chuai video thread with the tentacle theory and IG-OOG arguments about the American video, there's no reason to lock that one. The trailhead, maybe, but not the Chuai video one. As one person said in the Chuai video thread, wild speculation is the precursor to solid, serious speculation. You can't lock a thread because people are floating theories. It's silly.

Guys, I am so totally with you on the frustration with people constantly spouting off completely useless stuff in an effort to be first and/or loudest, but I think the mods here have enough on their plate with this movie's campaign already. Remember, a lot of us are (maybe temporary) guests in this community, and none of the other forums on UF seem to have the problems this one does: Which primarily comes from it being less an ARG forum and more a "fans of Cloverfield" forum.

It's tough, but I think we can manage ten more days of this. Once people see the movie, things will calm down.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, most forum mods and admins really hate being forced to take sides in a subjective argument like this. This might've been something best left to PMs.

I agree with Bacon Army and Clovefreaky on this one, I don't think locking threads because some people are absurd or ridiculous is the answer here. We get twenty new "I found a pic of the monster" threads every other day as is, locking threads won't help this, it will probably cause even more trout threads as people who try to search and post in an existing thread find them locked for no apparent reason.

what im saying is, whats wrong with a 500 page thread about 6 videos in 6 different languages? you would rather have 1 thread for each and 1 for comparison? you just arent making sense to me. people continue to have ideas.

besides, locked=forgotten

You can forget them locking any threads. As Rose has said MANY times, the mods will not lock a thread unless it violates the TOS of the site, and useless specualtion isnt a violation

If it's a 50 page thread that's stupid and going nowhere, then don't read it, and don't post in it. It's one thread. I think you'd rather have one thread contain all the stupid useless posts than 10, all actively at the top of the list. Don't feed the trolls. Heck, even if it's not a 'bad' thread, but you're just not interested in it, same thing - just don't read it; there's nothing saying you have to read every thread in the forum, ye know. This is how UF has always worked.
