    Can we dial back the moderation a bit, mods?

    I mean really, while I understand where you guys are coming from, there's been an awful lot of thread locking lately, in areas that historically weren't moderated much before.

    I'm no big fan of threads like "implement <feature from some other game> in FFXIV" or stuff that's only tenuously related to XIV, but it's a far cry from stuff that's totally not related to XIV, like what kind of cheesecake is your favorite.

    Let's be clear, there's threads like those that I don't really like, but I don't necessarily feel they all need to be locked.

    This thread will undoubtedly be locked or deleted, but really, do we really need to be so lock-happy?

    nah, he wont get suspended. Probably just a simple explination from a moderator about what SE wants to get out of the forums, how they intend to keep it as clean as possible without having 50% of threads being spam or already discussed topics. And if the moderator is nice he might even take time out of his own day to post a link to a site dedicated to cheesecake.

    Keep in mind that this game cannot be calibrated for any single player, and the medium is not you.

    90% of the threads here are useless spam. I've actually been coming around more since they have been locking the trolling.

    Who said they didn't?

    Just because you CAN do something, doesn't always mean you SHOULD. I even agree that these threads typically don't go well, but if FFXIV and something else are mentioned in the same breath, it's pretty clear the author is making some kind of connection between the two and it isn't automatically off topic discussion.

    The only thread I was to see locked was Denmo's thread http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...8FFXI-Comic%29
    I just found that thread today and got a real chuckle out of it. If Tanaka's thread gets closed that would be the low point for me. Granted the thread isnt really XIV related the guy has cancer and people are wishing him to get well and that's one thread that shouldn't be locked.

    You even said this thread will be locked. So why make it?
