What the fuck!? Scott V shut my thread on Fergies uglyness as a potential box office poison because it was "stupid"

IF WE ARE LOCKING STUPID THREADS WHY IS 96% OF THIS FORUM STILL OPEN FOR POSTING!?

The fact that i was playing joking around a little and my thread got locked on account of it being "stupid" speaks volumes for the site as a whole. I'm serious, even though my thread made really not much sense, it was a totally valid one and I am not kidding when I say that I see multiple threads every day with far less sane logic posted all over these forums as serious statements!

So unlock my fucking thread!

No.

i personally think Scott made a good decision on that one.

Bullshit. If you are going to be locking retarded threads youd better set aside about 4 weeks of downtime and some incredible finger clicking strength.

Felicity,

Make threads like that all you want ... in the water cooler.

You really should lock it for a better reason. As Michael said, there's plenty of dumb threads around.

I dont want to go and find a list of stupid threads!

Yes im a bit cranky today. But this shit is stupid! Closing a thread because you judge it "dumb" ?
I am so sick of having to whine and bitch at you guys, you know ive never been happy with the way you all deal with the site, but this shit is ridiculous.

I think it should have just been moved to Water Cooler, the harmless spam section.

Holy heck man.

No offense but honestly, grow up!

The thread was horribly off topic and ridiculous:



You sit there and rant on about the ugliness of a character who is not in fact, ugly. You berate other celebrities, throw some rather juvenile language around at them, and for no real reason.

The thread was not a serious box office thread, it was clutter in an already cluttered section. We have asked that the mods try and keep any unnecessary threads under control. That is what was done. I understand that this is your niche, and I have no qualms with you writing this type of post in the correct forum: The Water cooler.

6 out of the 12 posts in the thread were your own.

One was from Scott closing the thread.

One was from someone commenting on how pointless the thread was.

The others were arguments over the attractiveness of certain celebs.

Not a single post was BO oriented.

If you want to complain, please do so with a valid complaint. Your thread was closed because you placed it in the wrong section. If a mod or admin wants to take the time to move it to the correct place, that is there decision, but not their duty. They were totally correct in locking the thread as it was placed in the wrong section and was off topic.

"You sit there and rant on about the ugliness of a character who is not in fact, ugly. "

YES SHE IS
FERGIE IS UG UG UGLY

sure the others aren't ugly at all, but that doesn't mean my thread should be locked. For all you guys know I could have been having a serious argument concerning the relation of the sex appeal of female stars and the box office potential of their names.

I didn't realise that it was the administrations job to tell me who i should and shouldn't find sexy and where the line goes from serious to ridiculous. Because if we are on that bandwagon lets lock BaBaas "Da Vinci Code wont make $150m" thread while we are at it.

"Not a single post was BO oriented. " - thats not true.

The threads point was to illustrate how retarded so many of the debates in the box office forum are. Because there is just no end to the lack of logic and general ability to say anything that makes any sense at all in that forum. My thread is far less ridiculous than many things that have been said in that forum, and I would ask that if you guys are going to go and lock that shit that you take an equal stance and lock all of the other ridiculous threads in the forum.
the first one was completely box office orientated!

Heres a list of recent threads that are far less logical than my own

felicity, if you want to argue pointless threads, you really need to find better threads than that. even the stupid ones are at the end of the day, on topic and completely box office related. i dont even understand why the first one of your threads is there.

HELLO. MINES WAS TALKING ABOUT THE BOX OFFICE POTENTIAL OF POSEIDON!

So, your thread was only created to show how retarted other box-office debates are, even though you don't even mention it once in your thread?

Basically, it has no point. You're trying to come up with a point now, but really, there wasn't a good reason for that thread to be created. Your opinion about the sex appeal is your opinion, despite it being completely stupid, but if the thread has no purpose, it should be locked. You can say that it had a purpose, but what was it? The title was of the thread was "Will Fergies extreme Fugness hurt Poesidon's box office?" Yeah, that sounds like a serious discussion. Even if it really was created for the purpose of showing "how retarded box-office debates are," you show no evidence of that intention in the thread, and you're simply saying it now as a cover up for a purpose.

The thread has no purpose. Plain and simple. It was locked. Get over it. Don't think because you can come into The Site and tell us to "fucking unlock it," we will without a good reason. You haven't provided one yet. The other threads you just listed - are they box-office related? Yes. Your thread? Well, according to you, it's purpose was to mock box-office arguements, so apparently, it served no real purpose. "Doogal vs. Gigli" might not have been an interesting thread to most people, but it actually had numbers and a reason to be opened. Your thread? Nope.

you started a thread about the box office potential of a movie with other examples citing generally attractive people. your argument made no sense, no one who posted in the thread even wanted to stay on topic and the entire reason for its existance in that forum was to add celebrity humor ..... which at least in the box office section right now, where there are numerous threads right now actually discussing proper box office is spam. like eagle said, you want that thread to exist, make it in the water cooler. Its summer and the BO forum is currently more active than any other section.

In the defense of the forum, it probably was better-suited for the Water Cooler, or your celebrity thread.

And, Fergie is lookin' awful in those pictures.

I think the point is you really had no point.

You list a bunch of attractive-female led films that bombed...and then said because of this, this other genuinely ugly actress' film will bomb.

if you made a serious thread about, say, this: "For all you guys know I could have been having a serious argument concerning the relation of the sex appeal of female stars and the box office potential of their names. " no one would have complained. They would have replied like "No, I don't think an ugly star can affect the box office" or "Well, obviously people want to see the beautiful movie stars in their films" etc etc.

See? Your thread /wasnt/ serious and it /wasn't/ on topic, no matter how you try to spin it. If you really think this chick will sink the ship, make a serious thread explaining why. Not stuff like "if she's only HALF ugly it might make 50 m." Yknow?

If you were trying to make a point that box office talk is ridiculous, again, do it seriously and maybe people will take it seriously.

It just strikes me as unnecessary.

this post receives bABA's silver seal of approval

I cannot believe that even for a minute you are suggesting this forum has anything beyond banal, immature debates that make no sense. My thread had numbers.
I dont like you. Go away.

Oh, right. Since you don't like me, it'd be in the best interest of the forum for me to end this discussion and simply lock this thread (which also doesn't have a point!) and not even give a second thought to moving your other thread and unlocking it.

Locked.
