And tea.

How did I miss that!? Just as well you're here, Juv.

Good grief, what an omission for me to make! :\">

LOL, that's a capital 'i', not a lower-case 'l'.

^ No worries, Carp! I probably should have left it for Iuventus himself to comment on, if he was at all bothered. And calling him 'Iuv' (in a Yorkshire accent) might read as a little too friendly!

 Personally I`d like to see some threads locked rather than deleted , where the discussions have got to the point of being out of hand ie past the point of discussion . I think deletion should be for posts/threads that are "obviously offensive" eg homophobia , Laluna bless you .

Voting would work just fine.  If it's buried in negative votes by the constituency then bury the thread.  And, I don't mean lock it.  This forum is, hopefully, for those that enjoy a particular dynamic duo and not for those that place on a facade for the sake of trashing them.  Let the constituency make the decision in votes.

And, for those of you that don't know the routine, voting on the first post of a thread, negative or postive, is a vote for the thread itself, negative or positive.  Do you think I should use pictures?

The problem with locking threads is that it can be seen as judging for others when they've stopped the conversation. That's a tough call by anybody's measure.

The threads I`ve locked previously as a mod were when it got obviously out of hand - ie name calling / insults . But I take your point , each person has a different tolerance level to each issue or even each insult . Rather you than me to be honest (given some of the "scamps" on here.....me included ;) ) .

Have you guys been given any guidance from deer?

Nah, not at all - we have very few options to play with so not so hard to pick that up. Just really working out where we can help - and where we might hinder - if we use them, hence all the questions up front to everybody before we do either!
