Undertow Games Forum

Hey all.

Don't usually venture out of the Modding forums, but I went on General Discussion to see what is what, and saw this:
Thought it was pretty funny that a troll went ahead and bumped loads of threads, but it begs the question: why not delete the threads? They weren't important and it makes Trialtrex/moderators look like asshats for locking 6 threads in 4 minutes it was justified but only people who read each thread would see that. An outside source just sees a mod lock 6 different threads.

Threads can not be deleted if I'm not mistaken.

Actually, they can. Have you seen how fast some threads got deleted in our past?

They can be deleted, just that action is usually used for spam threads. That is a good suggestion though.

so thats why i haven't see jorge dick for a "while"

No, Jorge was banned. His thread was, for some unknown reason, was left simply to be locked rather than be deleted.

I personally don't believe throwing threads into the incinerator is necessarily a better solution, honestly. It's pretty subjective as to what threads are "important", the very few types of threads that I do see as worthless and quickly disposable are, as Glitch mentioned, spam threads. Someone might find some inquiry about the Pocket Dimension useful, even if it is from 2012.

Think of locking threads as preserving them, there's little use in simply doing away with them, unless the thread is about coach outlets, which no one wants to see.

well that's good i suppose
