BTW: I do want to ask this to the mod, I think this is common sense, but if we answer a question (and no more discussion is really nessessary), can we say /Thread or would we be banned? (GoS stated that your probably not going to be banned if the op himself said /Thread but if someone who answered it accurately said /Thread would it be bad?)

Like Poozy said, it's down to context.

I still think that if you put it after you've answered a question in a thread, it assumes that YOUR answer is the one and only best answer, even if that might not be the case. Someone might be able to expand on your answer, for example.

Just don't use it. It's never necessary to use it, so don't.

Can we still use "/thread" if we're just making reference to it?

Or am I about to be banned?

I'm going to fucking rape this guy.

Maybe we can say as a way to end our process of thought. Like "/thought" for example. This way we are saying that it the end of our process.

What if I write, "/thread, just kidding"? I like to have fun with my smugness, occasionally.

Its about time, I hated it when people would type that, like Poozy said, it isn't funny or witty, but just plain idiotic and stupid.

Four pages about a random rule that will likely be forgotten and is happening if you like it or not? What is there to discuss?

Don't ask me, but talking about this will keep bumping this rule to the top rather than having users say "but I didn't know" and spamming wades pm box more than what's required

"Without love there is no hate"
"But good sir isn't love what bring everyone together?"

What does "/thread" (quote) mean?

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

THANK YOU POOZY!!! I have seen enough bastards doing this and I was waiting for a mod to announce this.

This thread is the heads up and your only preemptive warning, after this I will begin handing out 1 day bans to all users I see posting that way and will double the ban each time they repeat the behavior, 2 days for the second time, 4 days for the third, 8 days for the fourth etc.

Cool.

Have a nice day!

You too.

explanation please?

It's when users put what they say and then indirectly say that the thread should be locked.

In other words, it a way of saying that their opinion is sufficient and the thread has served it's purpose.

It's complete bullshit.

This rule is broken so many times that it makes the BBS complete bullshit.

I entirely understand the point of this rule (keeping threads "tidy"), but isn't this just a personal bug? I don't really see the point in a rule so... Obscure.

I'm not arguing about the rule. I understand that it exists, and always will, but... A whole rule for something as small as "/thread"? That's kinda... Silly in my opinion.

Heh.

Ffs, what's so hard to get? If you put "/thread" at the end of a post, no matter how long, you can expect Poozy or another mod to ban you for a day.

It's really not hard to get, why has this thread reached 4 pages? I'm starting to wonder if some of you have a little trouble turning on your computers sometimes...
