This is the right thing to do.
The points game is fun, but we have to use sense and reason as well. That thread will likely get points, but I sure don't want to be a part of that mess.
That was an unfortunate sales thread that got reamed right from the start. Sure, his price was high, but the treatment against him was unfair.
There's a boardie who is pushing and prodding him in his own sales thread, claiming he's protecting the community against overpaying. Cal isn't on the probation list, he's just priced his comic book highly. See the high price, shake your head if you want, and then just move along.
I didn't create the locked thread points challenge, I just started the thread. However, I can't help but feel partly responsible when things like this start happening. Pile on Cal for points? Sad, but it happens. Pile on Cal for points, in his frikken sales thread? Man o' man. I'm embarrassed.
