Unfortunately, Gateworld has been experiencing a rash of postings intended to deliberately derail a thread that a poster doesn't like the topic of. How does this work?
A thread is posted. Someone decides they don't like the topic and that it shouldn't be discussed on Gateworld. They then proceed to post a snarky or sarcastic or derogatory remark aimed at the original poster, then his/her cronies jump on the bandwagon and run with it, taking the thread completely off topic. The result is the thread ends up being pulled, either to be cleaned up and put back out with a reminder or warning, or in the worst case scenario deemed not savageable and left "dead".
Frankly, we're tired of it. It's rude to the original poster, it's rude to those who do want to discuss the topic, and it causes the mods innumerable headaches. So, we've devised a new infraction that will be going into effect immediately.
For the particulars of the new infraction, please see Skydiver's posts here:
