Yesterday there were at least 3 follow up threads about that discussion. Yes, the hot-dog one.
Genuine question to MN admins - (as I don't feel that I've been on MN long enough to know what is/isn't a troll or a pbp) - would it not be easier for MN to put a note at the top and tail of a thread saying that this is a troll/pbp and then lock it rather than deleting the first thread and then having to police the subsequent TAAT?
That way posters who have invested time in reading the thread can see why the thread was deleted (they don't get a message informing them as to why if they haven't posted on it) and it would (imo) cut down on the TAAT nonsense??
Maybe????
