I vote for locking threads. Link to a couple tipping threads in the sticky.

Everything that could be said has been said.

It clogs up the front page, and wastes everybody's time who posts in it or reads it (granted they choose to do so, but in this case I'd like to see a little forum paternalism to keep energy moving to the good threads).

It drags down the forum's general level of decorum, as it's always a flame war. Half of the threads look like they're started as straight up troll posts. It's not like there's a dirth of peopling being nasty, rude, and full of themselves around 2+2.

Plus, I can't wait for the "we haven't had a tipping thread in a while so-- should I tip?" posts if the rules are changed.

All that said, threads about tipping other casino people might be ok, as they'd at least have some content, just leave the basic poker dealer tip thread off the page please.

edit: TT add a poll. Also, this thread may not be a good indicator as the title makes it look like a tipping thread instead of a meta-tipping thread. The only reason I clicked on it was that it was started by a mod.
