As a lot of them are discussing various tangents of the issue, we opted to not lock and consolidate threads into 1-2 main threads. However, things are getting a little too loose now and we see a great deal of threads clogging the board. Please try to participate and discuss in one of the existing ones, rather than starting something new, otherwise we will consider locking it on the spot.

We are also seeing a great deal of flaming and trolling going on in these threads. We're now pulling those particular threads into the mod forum for review and seeing who is saying what, and how we can trim the thread down to a more civilized form before sending it back out to the public forum again.

As for the regular user who sent us a post report and threatened the site with a DOS attack if we don't ban another user, you just wore out your welcome, which we will get around to, once we get all this pulling and trimming done.

Bump. After fielding many complaints, we just pulled in the 'parents suicide?' and 'black arm-band for VT?' threads for review.

We'd also like to ask for everyone to please recognize the main CE forum thread as the main thread on this issue, and to begin contributing to that one. Any further new topics on the VT incident will be locked with a link to that thread:

Bump. 'Virginia tech is also the problem' has been pulled for review. That one will most likely make it back soon, as it was not as dicey as others.

Bump. 'My Heart is Down" and "Destroy them" has been pulled for review, due to complaints about flaming.

As for any other pulled threads that you guys are hoping to see back, please understand that we are first needing to do some more permanent corrective action with regard to some posters here, before sending sanitized threads back out. Please give us time to deal with all of this, thoroughly and properly.

We appreciate the continued use of post reports to bring your concerns to our attention.

Thanks,
Mod Team

PS, I've also temporarily removed the stickies to ensure that this one stands out, for the time being.

"Angry Gyopos (Kyopos)" has been pulled for review, after some post reports complained about it.
