IV. Don't attempt to destroy a discussion because you don't think it's worth discussing.
This basically covers the times where someone spots a thread they don't think should exist, and then does whatever they can to shut down any kind of constructive discussion that might occur there. This can include (but is not limited to) overtly asking why the thread exists in said thread, being mean to the original thread poster or respondents, deliberately trying to steer discussion towards something unrelated to the original topic, posting super-negative responses without a good reason (i.e., if it doesn't match the tone of the thread), or requesting a lock/deletion publicly while others are still trying to have a discussion. This does not mean you can't get in touch with us if you have a problem with a thread.
I agree, hardly anyone respects that guideline here. Isn't it easier to not post in a thread than saying something like "omg, why don't you use google, moron?"

The forum moderators might not want you to stay, though, because it circumvents your ban.
