As stated above.  As a mod, in your mod function, you must separate your personal preference.  Hate seeing a bunch of NX threads?  No one cares.  It's like politics, some will like them, some will hate them, but the role of the mod is to simply encourage civil discussion.  Star had a bit of a challenge detatching his preferences. 

I was more than happy with that NX threads ban. At that time, when we still knew almost nothing about it, at least a couple of threads were made everyday about the damn thing, and sometimes the number was much, much higher (and with a lot of duplicates).

Sure, the site slowed down considerably, but it was a welcome relief.

Relief to you, not to others, and gaming discussion stalled. That's the point.  Of course lots of people hated the threads, many others loved them.  Curbing creation of threads in a forum is stupid, with the exception of duplicate topics.
