Kelmo has a point here, already the Siege Forum gets a bit more leeway than most others. Here's the deliema if a thread is headed down hill out the gate, with multiple people involved then what should be done.... We've really only 2 options, clean it up and lock/remove it from view. Or clean it up, post an in thread warning and let it continue.
In the latter case if the mods are having a good day and are feeling generous, they might clean up a thread more than once, they have that option, they also have the option of issuing warnings for ignoring the in thread warning as well.
You guys might not like the occasional thread lock, but often it is to your benefit, as it is unusual for warnings to be handed out in conjunction with a thread lock, especially when a thread is doing nothing but creating bickering and in fighting.
Now if you'd really like us to re-evaluate how we handle drama ridden threads on the Siege Forum we can, but if we do, and we start issuing more warnings for posts here as a means to keep the drama somewhat in check don't blame us...
