you locked the petition? isn't that a bit... extreme?

were any flames taking place?

No, but it was pointless. Incarnate said he's working on it. There have been about 300 posts on the same subject so far, and this one wasn't contributing anything the others hadn't already, save general-forum clutter.

[locked, and please don't start another one.]

Ya, I locked it because I felt that Incarnate's post had addressed the issue honestly and thoroughly.

I'd also like to dissuade people from creating petitions. They aren't particularly useful in real life (unless signatures are needed specifically for a ballot initiative, which is rarely the case with most petitions) and are not necessary here. All we have to do is suggest things. The devs are listening and have been for years.
