I found the post for you, or at least, I think it is the post you are referring to:
Alcar...

No, that's not the post I was referring to. It was pretty long, and like the 2nd post in a topic in the FS&H about a new system I'd like. I'll go try and find it.
EDIT: Here it is. Copy and paste baby.
Hmm...well, I have to agree with you to a certain extent. I know I may be pummeled and sworn at for saying this, but I really believe OWF is a bit too strict on classifying spam. I mean, I believe that in order to have a strong, tightly knit community, we should just let threads go in the direction that they go. Of course, we should obviously crack down on the blatant spam, such as posts like "oh ya lol" or "w3rd up", but I think that the careful watch on if a post is ever so slightly off the initial topic shouldn't be carried through so strictly. Let the conversation flow; that's what conversations do. I mean, I have seen many a forum that are a tenth as strict as this that get along better than we do.
So all in all, I believe that we should get a new system of "cleaning" the forums. I would like to see here what they do at The Aquabats message board; don't give out warnings and such, as that may be trivial with different members. Instead, if a thread has done its purpose and can go nowhere else, lock it. For example, if there is a thread asking "What systems will the next game be on?", then members would answer the question, and once it has been answered, the thread has no further purpose and should be locked. Or if someone creates a thread on a subject which already has a thread for discussion, it will simply be locked. There would be no more of these horrible, heated arguments about the rules and such. It may not sound very effective simply typed up, but trust me; it works.
Ok, you are free to throw your stones and insults at me now.
