Closing threads which wander off topic.

[El Gordo]

I have no wish to be locking threads left right and center but if in locking this one for a few hours concentrates the minds of the few who insist on having boring cyber bitch slaps on very important topics then it will be well worth it.

Blame them not mods.

I wasn't trying to blame you. I was asking if anyone had better ideas for how to deal with the problem. Particularly for ad threads, and one of these was an ad thread, I would propose to warn and then ban. After all, it's the ads that pay for everything else.
