This. A million times this.
Choosing the "lock the thread" approach instead of the "ban the people ruining the thread" approach is absolutely moronic. All it does is guarantee you will always be locking these threads since you never get rid of the actual problem, which is the people who are ruining the threads.
It blows my mind that people have difficulty understanding this concept.
The politards haven't shown up in force yet but they'll be here soon enough, it is inevitable. They always show up, and the thread always gets locked. Then the exact same thing happens next time because of the moronic "lock the thread" approach being chosen over "ban those ****ers".
