    Default A petition: to allow single-band threads (within reason.)

    Resolved: that Lemur will allow for single-band threads, given that some bands are deserving of a thread on their own, such as AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, and *shudder* Green Day. Such bands are popular enough to spark some actual discussion;

    That Lemur will be given power to lock threads that the community agrees to be spam, such as a single person posting various obscure favorite bands in individual threads;

    That Lemur will do all in his power to avoid locking such threads, such as merging them into a single topic (in the style of the "rock and roll thread");

    That Lemur will only use his power of locking said threads in absolute necessity, on pain of mass disgruntlement among the community.

    Don't the existing rules already allow this? I always thought the standard is that if it generates decent conversation its fine.

    EDIT: Nevermind saw lemuers lock on the ACDC thread.

    Why, Wham! of course is allowed.

    Those two guys could teach AC ~ DC the true meaning of rock.

    would Judas Priest be deserving of their own thread?

    if not, just add me on there anyway...

    I propose an amendment on the grounds only I can make such threads (which I never do) however, legally speaking such threads can now occur.

    Mike Hunt is on that position... isn't he ACIN now?
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    If you want to discuss/protest/lobby Frontroom policy may I suggest the Watchtower.
