Today the thread on Back Seat Belting got locked because of quite a number of posts that were cheesy.
Ok I dont have too many problems with threads getting cheesy but when it forced the moderators here to close the thread I think that it went too far. I had questions posed to me in the thread that I was unable to respond to because the thread got locked down. That bothers me a bit.
Ok here is the suggestion, instead of locking the thread down permanently would it be possible to have the off topic related responses split off and create their own thread with a title of "Off topic replies from the So and So thread......". At least that way threads can stay relatively clean from responses that are way off topic and any and all unrelated posts can be moved to the Off Topic thread.
Plus if you take that one step further you could create a fora here called what ever is appropriate, but I would suggest calling it the Garbage Dumb, and move threads that were off topic there, where they eventually will die off from lack of participation.
Create the Garbage Dump and do not allow members to create new threads there, only to respond to off topic threads moved in their from other locations. Eventually the threads will die a life of their own and the boards stay fairly clean of well, garbage.
Just my 2 yen idea here....maybe someone can improve upon it.
