What?Why?I find this idea of locking "Reactionary" threads so foolish.

Dont get me wrong, I think the rules should still apply.If someone goes to create one purely to shit on something and dosent have anything constructive AT ALL then i agree it should be locked.But if someone goes to create a thread called "Bethesda conference this year was boring" and writes good arguments to back up on this claim, even if it harsh, why lock it?Why kill discussion?Its just a dumb decision all around.

Gotta be honest, everytime I saw this stupid temporary rule around the internet I always thought to myself "Man, why do this?Why kill the fun and thoughts of the other users on this subject?" and was always glad that VGC never done this, at least not to that extent.now I cant say the same.Shame.

It's only for a short while. It's not really a big deal, just to help stop clutter.

I dont agree with it, but fine.I can do nothing about this after all.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I think it’s a stupid idea, it just kills hype around the biggest game season of the year.

I am resisting the urge to start a reactionary thread to a reactionary thread on too many reactionary threads.

How is it killing hype? you can still talk about these things.

Ok so can I have some feedback on my new thread idea?

"How Do You Feel About the Ban on Reactionary Threads During E3?"

Is that okay to create?

Mods are turning this down, make a "I wasn't allowed to create a "how do you feel about the ban on E3 reaction threads" thread, how do you feel about that?" instead.

So threads that are like "Rate BLANK Press Conference" are a no go?

Is not the Square conference starting right now?

Where is that topic?

It’s restricting freedom of expression.  If Spurge wants to make a “Holy shitballs Fortnite is coming to Switch tomorrow!” thread, he should be free to do so.  If people want to discuss something specific from a conference rather that try to have that discussion among another dozen announcements, they should be encouraged.  A barrage of threads on e3 days is part of the fun.  This new rule is only because some people’s personalities crave structure and order.  I don’t care if you organize your game collection alphabetically, by genre, or colour of the cover, but blocking hyped-up reaction threads merely makes this place more bland, and drives me to seek hype discussions elsewhere.

People can follow the rules, especially when the Bossman has spoketh.

Not a big fan of this but the farther this thread goes the less restrictive it sounds. I do want to say though that up until today "hot topics" was getting a little stagnant where I would see the same thread(s) day after day. Today is the first time in a while where everything in Hot Topics was new to me.
