Circuit City threadcraping
Ever since "the incident" with CCity, each and every thread in the DVD bargain forum that gets started about a bargain gets threadcraped by people not talking about the bargain, but about the whole ad posting issue.
I really don't think this should be encouraged or allowed.
There are posts and places to talk about the ad posting matter, right? Do we really need people saying they hate CCity and won't shop there in every thread about sales and bargains at CCity?

Yeah, I don't like what they did either. But when I'm in the bargains forum, I'm looking for bargains, not stale bitching and moaning about CCity.

But depending, on how the case goes, I'd also probably agree if it was later decided that talk about the store was no longer welcome on the board.
That being said, we don't have that store in my country!

Boy, regardless of the outcome, if "talk about the store" was "no longer welcome on the board," it would be a sad, sad day for this forum.
I agree with the OP: threadcraps in every single Circuit City thread are annoying.

If it really bothers you, then you should be reporting the posts to the moderators. If it's not getting done, then you can e-mail Geoff.

Just give it some time and the thread crapping will go away. The same thing happened at the beginning of 2007 with Amamzon. I think the more you fight it the more strongly people feel that they need to remind everyone what a crappy corporation CC really is. Ignore them and they'll go away in good time.

And since you all seem to know that CCity and their lawyers are watching this forum, maybe not behaving like a bunch of swearing, revenge seeking, cry-baby children would be advisable?
Seriously. When I first heard what had happened and the ad info would no longer be here, I was ticked. But the more I see the constant "I hate Circuit Shitty and won't shop there" comments in any thread that dares mention the store or its offerings, all it does is make we WANT to shop there.

The way I see it, the thread wherein you were endlessly complaining was not started by you, and the issue with CC was brought up by the OP in the first post (and was the reason for the poll), so it wasn't threadcrapping.
Edit: And if you do think it's threadcrapping, instead of threadcrapping yourself by commenting on it, just report it to the moderator.

Yeah, right, make me out to be the problem, not the people who feel the need to say "Circuit City sucks" in every thread that dares mention their name. Whatever.
