Wasteland question

[Mac'nCheese]

Just curious, why do you guys wasteland some locked threads but not others. For instance, there are two threads in S&FF forums that are about the same topic. So one was locked for being a dual thread. Why isn't that in the wasteland since there really isn't any discussion there?

There is no sense to the order. Don't ask. Don't tell. Don't question.

Well I just learned a new phrase because of that post.

Glad to help, but the more I think about it, it should be décourager, like hanging coyote carcasses on barbed-wire fences.

Wasteland is normally used more for threads that are viewed as frivolous or a waste of time, and not for threads that just happen to be a duplicate discussion like the one you mentioned.

How can any post in PRSI be considered frivolous or a waste of time ? /S

How often are threads placed in wasteland based on request of other posters ?

We would never wasteland a thread just because someone asked. But we are often made aware of threads that we wasteland by reports from forum members.

Thank you.
