Do the Mods cherry pick threads?

There seems to be alot of threads out there with people just flaming each other but yet they go on for weeks and even months without being locked.

I’m just curios why large cracks like that can slip through despite them at many times being on the front page of the forums.

Maybe they’re not very active.

Large threads can be hard to keep track of sometimes. Personally I tend to look at smaller topics quickly and then move on to larger topics later. Sometimes it’s just not in the best interest to immediately shut topics down though, the fallout from a locked topic can often be worse than letting it burn out. If there’s something you think needs to be looked at, make sure to file a report. If it’s urgent urgent I don’t mind getting a PM.
