it would be horrible to lock news threads so people can talk about it...
maybe after the news as been posted there could be a thread made just for that and then the regular thread where people talk about it??
but, then that would just mead you would have to make a new locked thread everytime something new comes out...
i ignore a lot of the senseless chatter about titles and what not, some are very good, some go WAY into it. But to ban it from happening is just... wrong. If you dont like it, just skip over it...
I also understand that it makes it difficult to get all the news you want... Which maybe you can make that special thread editable by certain people? I really dont understand how a forum works or what the rules are for how to make post and what not?
Maybe its something the mods can look into?
