ITT: How to get a thread locked.

It isn't off topic. So how would it get insta-locked?

Most people don't know the difference between independent and dependent clauses, so it should be no surprise that people can't use semicolons correctly.

I love seeing people make stand-alone dependent clauses.


It.

The thread itself is off topic. It's a troll topic that is irrelevant to the game and in fact the very people you've directed the thread at are the least likely to post in it.

It is, actually. It has nothing to do with FFXI. It also has a non-descriptive therad title, which violates the forum rules. It's also completely pointless.

I don't see why people are getting so upset. If you're getting upset, you must be lousy at English grammar. I agree with the topic being irrelevant to this section, but I'm also not going to complain about it being here. If you don't like it the thread, you don't have to read it. I'm sure the moderators will get to it without everyone crying.

If it's irrelevant, then why are they hot topics within the forums?
