So this thread this thread about Terrence Magee was anchored last night at 29 posts, because of the "non descriptive title". And despite being anchored, it had garnered 15 more posts over a 10 hour window.

Reading the content, there is some good discussion going on. Do the Admins even read the threads before they anchor them? What exactly is the point of anchoring a non descriptive title? If it's getting hits, and good discussion, isnt that a good thing? If people are not interested in it because of the title, wouldn't it just fall to the bottom anyway? Doesn't it basically sort itself out?


Who exactly is being punished here? Shouldn't the admins at least read the threads? Or change the title themselves? Send a PM perhaps? or just leave them alone. Let them fall to the bottom if they suck. Often times it's just general disucssion about a specific topic. It's such a stupid rule in my opinion.

I know why. It's a stupid rule though.

It should be reconsidered

I didn't anchor that thread, but if I had been on when it was first created, I would have anchored it without reading it...what a terrible thread title...just imagine if every thread title was that shitty.

Lester, did you bother to tell nycajun that his thread might be anchored due to his terrible thread title?

Got to agree with The Cluckster on this one.

Why can't the admins edit the title and make it a little more descriptive

What would you prefer? "Let's talk about Terrence Magee"?

While we're at it, I didn't appreciate my swingers thread getting deleted.

That was a scummy thread.

why dont others?

it wouldnt be hard to just peak in and see whats up.


some are doomed, but i see too many that are anchored that have good content. It's not even worth complaining about, but i feel its time it should be discussed

It's a simple rule. Not sure what the fuss is all about. 4 words - Something something general discussion.

Not sure why posters who clearly know the rules, especially one this simple, break them and then whine about it. Chicken probably thinks y'all are retarded.

"Don't forget about Terrence Magee, the likely starter at RB"

Is that the point of the topic?
