I've been EXTREMELY bored today, so I was looking through old posts and after seeing this a ton of times I'd just like to remind you people.
If you wish to have a thread locked, PM a mod or admin.
DO NOT POST "Mod plz lock" or anything of the like IN THE THREADFirst off, half the time people request lockings in a thread they're basically demanding we do it. We're not your butlers. Ask nicely
Secondly, this method of lock request does not guarantee the thread will even be locked. You have a much better chance of getting the thread locked by PMing a mod or admin.
Thirdly, if you see an offensive or rule-breaking post, it in no way helps to respond to it and finish off by saying "a mod will/should lock this" and not report it. You're only adding to the spam. I think I saw one spammy thread before the cleanup a while back that was filled with "A mod should lock this" "A mod will lock this" "Why hasn't anyone locked this yet?" When NO ONE was formally notified.
I think we've mentioned this, or I have at least, a few times when it's happened, but I thought I'd formally remind people.
Be kind. PM for lockings....ind. Dammit. Doesn't rhyme.
