Do you think you could lock this thread?

I'm the first to accept that I'm a very sqeamish person, but even taking this into consideration a lot of the posts seem more than a little bit too gruesome for the forum.

No one is asking me to do a lot of things. Doesn't mean they don't break the rules.

The thread isn't breaking rules that i know of. Last i checked, there is no rule about discussing the worst way to die (but that was several months ago).

I'd say that the thread most definately qualifies as having violent posts.
Obscene and Explicit Content: Sexually graphic images and posts, and violent images such as bloody corpses. Very strictly forbidden. Obscene imagery and content in the forums should be reported to the Moderation Forum. Please provide a link to the topic, but do not quote it while explaining its illegality. Then we have to find and delete your posts too.

The standard for both forums and game is the US movie rating "PG-13". Mild swearing may be tolerated, mild sexuality may be hinted, but explicit or excessive versions of either or both may result in proportional mod response.

That's the point of Moderation. :)

Is MOD an acronym?

No. It's short for Moderator.

Discussing gruesome death is one thing, giving examples is rather another. Part of me thinks it's a little over the top, but I also remember talking about that sort of thing in 5th grade.

I think I'll leave this to a Mod that spends more time with General, but I'm willing to let it slide, maybe with a content tag in the title.
