Sheriff of Moddingham: This and similar threads have proven to stray repeatedly into Inappropriate Topics, sometimes egregiously so. In addition, trying to keep them active and free of rule violations has proven: 1) to require extreme amounts of moderator time and 2) ineffective at changing the culture or content of these threads.

I have tried to moderate carefully and thoughtfully and to nudge the thread and participants lightly. I have also given at least one of these threads a final warning to avoid further Forum Rules violations (and straying off-topic) or be permanently locked. Neither approach has proven successful.

After consultation with the other moderators and The Giant, we have decided we cannot continue to host threads that so frequently contain such seriously inappropriate material and require such constant moderation.

This is a final warning to all such threads, including all shipping, fanservice, crack pairing, and similar threads. Any further violations will result in the closure of all such threads. If these threads can stay on topic and within the Forum Rules great. If not, their content will need to be taken anywhere.
