nigel99 568 #1 January 5, 2011 I have noticed that if a thread is locked it rouses my curiosity and I end up opening the thread to see what drama went on. So is it like the wet paint phenomenon and is your curiosity aroused? PS Hopefully posting in general about locked threads isn't against the rulesExperienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

Arvoitus 1 #2 January 5, 2011 I voted no but then I realised I should've voted yes. I'm not interested in wet paint. And I'm not interested in locked threads. So for me they are similar.Your rights end where my feelings begin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeJD 0 #3 January 5, 2011 Absolutely! Not sure about wet paint, but they have the same appeal as car crashes. Maybe locked threads would be better deleted after a short period, to stop the rubbernecking Not only do I compulsively open locked threads, I always go straight to the last post to see who was being told off and why.

Nightingale 0 #6 January 5, 2011 I don't care much about paint, but I do tend to open the locked threads to see what the heck someone did to piss off a mod, as I've found them to be pretty reasonable folks, overall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Read some of the threads and you will see that we really are the spawn of Satan and need tossed out, beat up and left on the street for dead.

That WAS my plan for you, but after Seth spent my retainer (1/2 up front, 1/2 upon receipt of your death certificate) he backed out, citing that you were much smarter than him and that he didn't think he could outwit you.
