I don't know what happened in the thread in question, but how on earth can it be so bad that no one is allowed to comment until the moderator has 'punished' the posters?
Seriously, it's pathetic.
You are a pussy! I said show me your war face!
Should be doing something else

I am against locking threads normally. However in this case, it serves a purpose as some of the posters involved only post in two threads on this board.

Does the software enable you to issue infractions? Most forums these days allow to issue bans, etc. Also flags on their posters profile, usually a yellow or red card.
Not even on the B list...
