A thread about me jumping the shark in my recent Role-Plays; this was not meant as Spam but instead as a thread of self-reflection where I acknowledged the rather bad turn my RP had suddenly taken when I turned it into an RP clip show (Complete with flashes of previous RP's and everything).

I'd understand if it was moved out of the Role-Play forums and maybe into Gameplay or General, but I really don't see what was lock-worthy about it.

EDIT: Oh, and I deleted the second "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey" thread because, even though I don't think the thread in this post is spam, the Mods obviously do and getting three locked threads in five minutes is not something I want happening here.

With regards to the thread in NationStates; Harlesburg took it off-topic in post three, and you assisted him in that in post four. It went downhill from there.

If you wish to repost a thread of a similar vein you may, but it must not degenerate into spam.

The thread in General was very obviously spam - a single picture does not a topic make.

The third I was, in fact, intending to leave, as you had provided content to accompany the image. If you had not provided content I would have warned you. Since you removed that content, I decided to lock it before General's "Happy Spammer" crew could run amok in it, but due to the fact that you had made an effort to provide content I declined to warn you.

If you wish to repost a thread discussing the television program "Happy Days" you may, but it must include valid content. A single picture of "The Fonz" does not classify as valid content.

I hope this clears up any confusion you may have. Happy Easter.

Oh, come on! That was just some petty jesting! I'll sue!

Okay, I wont sue (or say much more beyond this post) but I don't think those few posts took it off-topic enough to warrant a lock. Oh, well. I probably wouldn't have said much more in that thread anyway.

To show no hard feelings:
