Well something big must've happened to warrant an outright thread deletion, and the subsequent thread locks of all the succeeding counting threads, so what happened? O.o

Yes I know I'm late.

Spam + NFSW content got those threads deleted. Moderators didn't feel like keeping an eye on the thread.

Since the forum game rules didn't specify chatting, we weren't allowed to talk while counting. Plus, the yaoi. The yaoi. Whoa boy.

Subsequent ones ended up being deleted before NSFM stuff even got posted.

Here's a post-aftermath one with Koleare's final word on it. I believe the totals are 4 locks, 1 deletion, and 1 locked gif thread.

Somewhere I stated that they aren't allowed anymore because apparently it's impossible to mod (really?), and was responded with a "yes that's true, but only a small piece of the picture" sort of argument.

Needless to say, it sprung up a suggestion (refer to my sig).

We got to 9000 (or more specifically I did :P) so the thread was finished.
Also koleare doesn't like gifspamming.

I don't see why they won't just make a spam section and let people do whatever the hell they want. There's really no need to "police" forum games and shit. SMH.

Because mods don't want to accept Immahnoob's suggestion.

That's a good observation. I guess the 2012 users go to forum games/enjoy counting more often.

Was v2 not allowed prior to the huge lockdown, or was it a result of the spam?

What I find perplexing is how the chat thread is still genuinely chat aha.

Midway through the counting, we asked the mod, why do you hate this thread so much?
He said he doesnt necessarily hate it, he's just counting so that we would reach the number faster so he could lock the thread and be done with it.

I think midway through, he realized that that kinda thread would be a pain to moderate, so he decided to get it over with so he could lock it and allow no more.

hahahahahaha. you guys... xD Honestly though, I really need to see myself what went down in the latter stages of that thread to see if the mods' actions were justified. But midway? I'd say that it was a very harmless thread.

What's wrong with the chat thread?

The threads were locked and are now not allowed anymore because of repeatedly rule violations in the threads (especially posting NSFM pictures) despite several warnings given.

Next time, please read the moderator's last post in the locked thread for an explanation. If the explanation isn't enough, please PM the mod who locked the thread and ask for more details. If you have a general question, PM one of the forum moderators.

Since the question has been answered and this thread is turning into a chat/spam thread:

Locked.
