Thing I never liked about the /thread posts was that people say something and they are completely into themselves thinking no one can argue against their point and put /thread. most of the time the thread doesnt end and they look like a right twat.

Obvious answer is that it's not up to you whether or not the thread is over.

But if the topic of the thread is so specific the answer would be the end of the thread.

I see your point but that fact remains that it is not appropriate to post "/thread" unless you can actually end the thread.

And you can't actually end the thread. :D

In your opinion, certainly, but you're not the OP, nor are you a mod, so you don't get to make that choice.

I suppose its classed as backseat moderating...
So its a good excuse...

It should be slightly lenient... Perhaps if someone manages to create a huge structured post which does completely crush a thread and / or person, then perhaps they can end it with a /thread
Although I suppose it won't happen... It'll just be banning, no matter how good your post was...

I can't say it particularly bothered me, it's not like anyone really pays attention to it and considers it as a reason to not post anymore, but I guess it's for the better. Most of the time it was stupid. If anything, they should be grateful that they won't look as arrogant morons anymore!

Meh, there's a differnce between sucking up and supporting mods ya know. If you look in my post count, I flamed mods before for things they do that is unfair. Not to mention the guy had it coming super-sense. If I felt pity I would say it, but he as just showing his ass demanding poozy to lick it basically.

And btw: poozy's ass tastes like raw evil baked in the bowels of hell with the spices of the rotting corpse flesh with a hint of lemons.

It means someone is saying the thread is over, and there's no need to post in it anymore. I like the rule, btw. I got tired of seeing it.

In addition to what I said earlier, I just need to point out that using "comical memes" (as if ! Memes aren't funny..) at all is pathetic and shows a clear lack of maturity, intelligence and understanding of society.

If you want to be funny, at least try to be original.

It's hardly an abuse of power; when little memes become too widespread and annoying, we often nip them in the bud like this.

Come on, guys. This "/thread" nonsense has been going on for far too long, and it's always been an irritation. Nobody but a mod (or the OP if they ask a mod to do it for them) has the power to end a thread, so posting "/thread" is redundant, spammy, arrogant, and annoying.

I always used to delete those types of posts when I saw them anyway.

I guess it is a bit overused. It must have been because Poozy was the one to announce the rule. I like Poozy though. I think when Poozy is actually enforcing rules, I don't like him. :D
