Why? There are dozens of straight up flame threads everyday that don't get whacked.

I start one that's purely for fun and it's gone.

I mean come on

I just read Chickens thread above about why threads are whacked and mine didn't fall into any of the categories.

Little insight would be appreciated.

There is little consistency in enforcement of site rules. Also you're an LSU fan so that's automatically going to put you up for extra scrutiny.

Do you think if I make another one, I will get banned?

False. LSU fans are allowed to constantly flame the SECr and nothing ever happens to them.

I honestly think the threads that are full of flames get left alone sometimes because they generate site traffic.

Not a single person flamed in my thread. It was all in good fun.

Ridiculous.

This isn't true at all.

I think if it was purely sig/avy bets it would've been fine. Ban bets aren't good for business.

Ban bets affect page views which is a business decision. Maybe an avi/sig bet would stay afloat a bit.

That's what the whole thread was made up of. Avi/sig bets

I think the OP title had 'ban' in it though, didn't it?

God forbid a few posters don't post for all of 2 months. I get what you're saying. But a better decision would be to maintain the quality of the board on a regular basis instead of whacking harmless threads that didn't break any rules.
