Not for censorship purposes but to make users less lazy.
People need to start using the search engine.
-
So we can all look at out of date information about shipping methods and drug safety?
-
How will using the search engine before posting result in outdated information ?

As someone who can obviously can lock threads I sit on the fence about this subject. On the one hand I lock down troll threads and threads that are unwise pretty rapid but if people want to discuss things other than that then I find it hard to justify locking a thread just because it's been talked about before UNLESS there is already a current one going (I locked quite a few Tony76 threads).
Anyway, this is just my perspective on it. :)

All tony threads should be locked haha that horse is rotting! :D
Threads that have been discussed before have good information in them, however, they do not contain all information needed to answer the new question which is why new threads are actually helpful. Sure you can use the search engine to look for an answer to your question but wouldn't you want to receive more new information to the same question rather than bumping an old thread?

Haha yeah absolutely. Annoys the piss out of me when it all get's dragged up again. Flog the dead horse! No need....it's dead!
Yeah Delta11 this is another reason why I think it's good to bring up topics again even if they have been discussed before. People of all walks of life join here every day, you never know what new info they can bring to the table. Only time it does get a little tedious is when you see 2-3 threads about the exact same topic and even worse, when you see the same people saying the same thing in all three topics. Again the Tony76 thing and the USDirect scam are both examples of how annoying this is.
