Yes, I did. I posted this
sticky as a warning and that was after months and months of another sticky that warned everyone. So, again...yes.
Did I enjoy doing it? No, not so much. If people could post appropriately, nothing would have been deleted.
Also, there's several differences in wording here. First off, the title of this thread is "Closing threads like crazy" but in fact, the threads were deleted, not closed. Also, you mention "off-topic post"...off topic posts are part of it but what we're dealing with in this instance that you bring up is completely-off-topic threads...not posts.
If people can read the forum descriptions, then there's no reason why they can't post threads in the appropriate forums. For the majority of threads that were deleted by me today, I added where the threads should have been originally posted in the reason for deletion.
So, while you are asking me to keep somthing in mind, I also ask that you and others keep something in mind...READ THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FORUMS AND THEN POST YOUR THREADS WHERE THEY
SHOULD GO, NOT WHERE YOU WANT THEM TO GO. Maybe everyone should be hesitant when posting in the incorrect forums...that way, I won't have to be concerned, per you, to be hesitant with my "delete key".
Ahhh...I see...one of the threads was yours.
