Dids et al, BBV4L question

[Chump Change]

Well, before anything i'll admit my bias, I can't stand football or baseball. Yeah, i'm a communist and terrorist.

Anyhow, I was going to start 3 separate 'containment' threads in BBV4L, one for basbeall, one for college football and for the NFL, and I started this thread to get feedback and verification. Srsrly I dont think there needs to be 10 separate low content threads in the first 50 about some random sports crap. Every time I see a college football thread started I die a little inside.

Admittedly the bias plays a small part, considering the last time a basketball thread was started the first reply was something like 'um, you know there's a sport forum lolz noob diagf.' The same for soccer/football.

Discuss.

containment threads are [censored] stupid.

Well... I guess that's a no.

Cit, did you lock my thread in BBV?

How should I deal with threads like this:

Lol that is madness. Should my feelings be hurt? Why the [censored] did that thread get locked but others stay? (lol i sound like a noob) Somebody has a vendetta against me. SRS BIZ

I'm not a big fan of containment threads unless there is a humorous purpose like GA's thread. The sports stuff will pass. The BBV4L attention span is 48 hours at most and as you know, once we try to crack down on anything we get eleventy billion new threads on the topic. This will likely only be a weekend thing anyway.

Lol but srsrly folks, I want to make it clear that I really dont mind the threads at all (so I exaggerated a bit in my OP for dramatic effect; standard) I was just trying to be a go-getter and suggest a potential good idea, seeing as I feel ive been slacking as a mod the past few days.

[Gildwulf]

chump, as a sidenote please stop posting in threads after i lock them, it's pretty poor form if you don't mod that forum
