Why is it so hard to do?

There's three users spamming. Don't lock the threads. Ban the users. Enforce your authority. Institute some type of plan where a moderator must authorize the activation of an account. This is getting ridiculous.

I know, I don't see why they have to inconvenience everybody by locking up god knows how many things.

Normally they lock while they delete the posts.  I don't know where the mods are.  Maybe I should be a mod...I'm here enough.

I personally don't care who's mod as long as they delete the spammy posts, ban the guys who post it and quit locking up everything. If you're gonna do all of that, then I say go for it.

Alright, stop it with the mod bashing, guys; the mods here are kept on a really tight leash *edited as per cheesejoffs request*, so really, they're doing all they can.

I told them I'm gonnado this, they simply said okay.

I'd expect that's because there was not much they could do about it, and pleading with you seemed pointless...

Well....... Actually, I have nothing much to say on the matter. I just wish these guys would go away.

I wanted to add more to my one post on the "Great Moon Hoax" thread under "Other" but found it locked.  Why was this thread locked?

I guess it was so spam posts could be deleted, or so no one else could spam the thread.

Unfortunately, moderators are not given the ability to ban users on this forum set up.
The only people who can do that are Daniel and I, and neither of us were able to be here this weekend.

As for locking threads, this is done to prevent further vandalism while cleaning up.

Okay, I will be assuming that the OP was spam placed around the web.

Second question:  Would there be any problem if I started a new thread with new comments as to the Moon being unreal?
