I expect this thread to get locked soon.
That would be pointless. We’d just discuss it another thread if that happened.
Then they will lock that thread too. They locked the banned thread, they obviously do not want threads of this nature.
“They” did not lock the thread. Jay locked it. Jay is not SW or jason. This thread would only be locked if we carried on and on about whether it was fair or warranted for certain people being banned. Simply clearing up the circumstances is not against the rules.
And in fact, Jay said the Banned Members thread could be used by mods to explain why members were banned; they just haven’t followed through on actually doing that. Duplicate threads might annoy Frink, but the mods don’t seem relatively bothered by it.
Similarly, we have two Bitching threads and while one was (and is) locked, the other is not.
