Monk. Locked Why?

Peared

Why so? Curious. Nonsense yes. But AH. Hmm.

Sherifu

English please.

If you mean this. It probably belongs in the tv forum.

smashey

Maybe because there is a television forum for discussing television programmes.

Peared

Perfectly harmless Monk thread in AH locked. Just wonderin why.

Peared

But it wasnt moved, it was locked.

Sherifu

If it's always moved lazy posters will never learn. Can't say the thread was really going anywhere either.

Peared

Possibly not. Was in the mood for goin nowhere with the monk though.

Could point to the Cathal O Irishfella thread but hey, Im over it all now.

Overheal

It was a silly post. You basically started off by telling everyone what you were watching on tv at the time. Thats what the TV forum is for (if that). Its not for after hours. The post was quite stupid and the thread was going nowhere fast.

The original post was a statement; not a question not an opening for a discussion. I gave it a chance because often a statement can be an opening for a discussion - this proved not to be one of those times. It doesn't belong in AH (IMHO) and there wasn't enough substance to inflict it on Television.

You would have got a quicker and more detailed reply had you sent a PM to me. This'll have to do you. Goodnight.

Fair enough, but for comedy value it should have been kept open. For example:

The Monk: Sure me own house has been broken into two times.
Reynolds: And what did you do?
The Monk: I brought dem to de hospital.

Classic!

I too was disappointed with this thread.

Hmmm.....You look stangely familiar!:D

faceman

The thread just asked if anyone watched a tv show. Not really a discussion prompting first post if you ask me! It was best locked rather than being moved.

And that is why Faceman should be made the new AH mod.

Overheal

I already told you: future-Overheal already PM'd me on wednesday and told me I'm the new mod. Terry indocrinated me in; it was a lovely speech I'm told.

darkman2

I was supprised my thread was locked. I was thinking that the man is a dangerous man and people might be wary of commenting on him - but I did not think it should have been locked. The programme was AH material and I knew it would be - thats why I started it. Should not have been locked IMO.....

Sherifu

It's not your thread, it's Terry's.


Sorry Karoma, when you get a chocolate orange this will work for you too.

Overheal

Mmmm....chocolatey orange goodness....

I havent seen one of those things in years.

Yeah; you seem to think that about a lot of your crappy threads. I would have thought we had this discussion before. AH tends to be for discussion more than "zomg! ders sumtin on teh telleh" statements. If you wanted to discuss facts about the monk and any aspect that this may have had on, um, anything - AH it would have been. If you wanted to discuss the interview - Television. If you post the crap you posted - expect it to be locked.
If I leave your pointless statement there, I'd be expected to leave the others - at the moment, these threads tend only to appear once every 2 or 3 days or something, but imagine if everyone did it? so many shows on so many channels - no discussion, no real evoking of thought on the deep matters like we're used to in AH...imagine.

Well Said.

Peared

I agree about the telly thing, there would be gazillions of similar threads.

Just think the Monk thread would have headed somewhere interesting.

Im not usually a feedbacker and Im not givin out, just..emm.. feedbacking.

Whatever. I seem to be always targeted by you for some reason. Have I done something to you? I dont even know you. There is no need to insult me. There are more serious threads on after hours then the one that I never intended to be serious about a Dublin criminal taking the mick out of the country on TV......

What about the thread about Tara - for example......go and get in their faces aswell as you seem quite intent on getting in mine.

Sherifu

This thread just got new life :pac: PM tbh

darkman2

There was nothing wrong with the monk thread whatsoever - and to prove that it would have been a good thread he should reopen it for a day and see for himself. The programme was on at the time......i was going to add more to it when it was locked. Ive only had 3 threads ever locked on boards incl this one in over 3000 posts.....perhaps Karoma should ignore that and deal with this topic that was locked without refering to others. Oh look another monk thread has started - bet you that one stays open. No reasonable person would have locked that thread so quickly.

Peared

Ah what have I started?

Who would have thought the monk could cause any kinda trouble?

Agreed, the thread should have been moved, not locked.
Some people need to get off their high horses.

It was open for ~1hr in After Hours and got nothing but spam. It was locked as threads very very rarely come back from that death.


darkman2: blah blah blah. Yes; I'm out to get you. I'm hiding under your bed. Blah blah. rabble. blah.
Your thread was going nowhere because you started it badly. We've been through this before I think. Get over yourself.

He's my favourite along with Columbo. I love how he can't handle social situations well but he can figure out who the murderer is by looking at someones hand or remembering something. GoE MoNK!
