Why is it that nonsense threads go on and on and on about nothing at all.. mods should really maintain this site so we dont have 504798357 threads for "tom wallisch" or "no poles" or posting of the same video... if mods did their job and locked the thread and closed it they would go away!! soo many n00bs its getting really annoying not finding any information on this site anymore...

Aight guy...Put your self in their shoes. IF you were one of maybe 8 or 9 on at one time (thats pushing it) and had to patrol the entire website (all forums whcih is alot) for reposts you wouldnt be able to do it. Calm the fuck down. The mods do a great job, and believe it or not do have lives other than sitting on NS and deleteing threads. Just think about shit before you post. Especially think about search baring idiot.

nice use of the english language there kid... visit other forums and they rock.. i go on a lot of design and car forums where they moderate great. so yes.. i did think about it before i post, i know how to use the search bar... its "searching" not "search baring".. ..

and they can easily set up an app that can look for certain thread titles and flag them for mods..

I love how ns is right now. I go on other forums like pbnation, and its so strict and uptight that i don't even want to post. I'm going to have to say it. I LOVE POINTLESS THREADS.

It comes down to the way NS is coded.
NS does not run off Vbulletin, invision or phpBB etc, so locking, editing etc isn't possible without paul having to go through hell and high water.
NS is way quicker than many of these other forums and the functionality you talk about is kind of unneccessary anyway, mods delete shit if it shouldn't be there.
Just my opinion, i think it's fine.

I hope there is never a day when someone on NS makes a thread when they are drunk and they have the ability to delete or edit it.

Agreed. I love reading the pointless threads they are by far some of the funniest most random threads that I always get a good laugh out of.

good points. this site does run extremely fast due to no photos in signatures. i like that. agreed that mods do delete shit. agreed that something created by a user cant be deleted, only mods have that access. but some thread get very long and off topic and have good information on the initial pages (ie soundtrack thread). would be great if it was locked or better yet, just a page on ns under media. completely forget about skimoviemusic.com all together..
