Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2263113, member: 199"] To attempt a return to the original post topic, there is just such a detector already in place: The Replies counter. It works as follows: > 5 replies to an OP you are assured that at least one post has strayed off topic. > 20 replies = two completely unrelated topics have taken hold > 50 replies = the original topic has long since been forgotten > 100 replies (and not locked) = the moderators have already fired off three or four 'watch your step' PMs due to posts drifting into either politics or personal attacks which have been deleted meaning some responding posts are already quite meaningless. > 200 replies = The following topics will have surfaced already and accumulated at least 20 responses: UNC sanctions (see above already), TN, DD, Uconn being about to go on a minimum of two years winning streak, the height of a current or former Uconn player, the MVP of the Uconn program, and next years starting Uconn lineup. > 500 replies = the moderators have gone on strike because the thread should have been locked two weeks ago! (I rather like the recruits/signees threads as they are a running account of lots of minor things occurring with the prospects and incoming class - whenever really newsworthy stuff happens we end up with at least one new thread on that player.)
