So my point being - why punish the majority over a few members or new members? Go through the thread and weed out the problem members. It's part of being a mod of a forum. There was so much good information in that thread that would now need to be transfered over.

The other thread ran it's course. Not only were too many people violating the no buy/sell/trade rule, they were doing it with NO REGARD for the rules whatsoever. On top of that, it was becoming more and more difficult to keep up with new information with all the useless one word or smoking hat emoticon replies. This new thread WILL BE MODERATED MORE CLOSELY. And just like the Lebron thread, I'm positive our members will update the first few pages with all the needed information.
The old post is still there, it's just locked. So any information you need is still in the same place. You'll just need to reply here. The locking of the old thread and creation of the new post is not meant as a form of punishment for the majority of our users. However, it will serve as a reminder that people need to watch more closely what they're posting or else it will happen again.
Seriously there was no blatantly buiyng and selling in the threads. If some newb said I need such and such shoe, somebody was quick to correct them. How are you gonna lock whole threads because some dude with 3 posts asks for a shoe? I could see if it was people who repeated post but it never is.
