I see brilliant troll/rumor/etc. threads get locked all the time. I understand the purpose of the forums, but I think many "no content" threads should stay, if only because this is the kind of stuff that shapes an online community.
It seems these days, something like a "what ship is this" thread would get locked immediately. I propose a solution: Instead of locking a thread, throw it in "The Pit." This would be a place where almost anything is allowed, sans OOPE-type discussion. You can lock the dev-bashing, but trolling/drama is where a lot of great forum memes are born.
The game is a sandbox. The community should be, too.

You mad bro?
Sorry, I just never got to do that.
Interesting idea, but sometimes locking is a better choice. In my opinion. Which isn't worth much these days. |

I'd prefer not. They had to hire another flotilla of GMs to keep the pit clean. Because face it, people would misuse it.

Not really. If it get's locked and sent to "The Pit"; at least these threads are conglomerated somewhere and do not require further checking.
The only way to have a thread in "The Pit" means it would have to be moved there by a GM or something. |

You have to keep moderating such areas too. People always try to test the limits of what they can get away with. By relaxing the moderation rules in the pit you don't remove the need to moderate, you just change where the line of acceptable behavior is. Given enough time and no moderation you'd would get spam, adverticement, malware links, ****, child **** and every kind of misconduct any person can come up with. Things CCP as company could be held responsible if they don't moderate it. Point being no moderation isn't an option on a public forum and I'm not convinced, that a cesspool made entirely of lock worthy threads is in any way a positive thing.

Novel idea.
Unsure about inconsitancies with rulings and behaviours however, but if it's own specific forum, could be fun for some if its actually useful to have a forum that promotes bad forum behaviour but allows a kind of psychotherpay service to cater for a specific "need"?
As long as its doesnt simply also then promote moderation to be conveniently enforced by simply using this kind lock thread "hammer" method and pushing it into the "pit" as an habitual process. Personally I'd prefer to see the "scalpel" used more often in terms of addressing problematic "posters" not "posts" Bounty Hunting, Soon Gäó
