Do the mods dislike copycat threads?
I just noticed a bunch are getting locked and re-directed to the "parent" thread now.

1. One is funny.
Ten isn't.

Just a humble opinion. :-)

3. What about two or three?
Sometimes they get pretty creative, or the simply the sheer ridiculousness of their proliferation makes me laugh.:shrug:

2. Sometimes It Gets to Be a Bit Much
And that's when the mods step in. But copycat threads have become a Lounge tradition.

8. Yep... I can understand that having 10 copycat threads on the same theme..
would be a bit much and confusing and overwealming. --- But should that cause EVERY copycat in a theme to be locked? Including the first one/s?

Just asking.
