Here's the deal.I tried to say this nicely.Not referring to you,AE,but some of the stuff posted in the Showcase forum is pure crap.
We have people posting non-built games,we have people posting their game ideas and no screenshots,etc.
And if people want to post a link and no screenshots then I don't know what to tell you.
The rules for the Showcase forum were written a long time ago.
Whether they should be amended or not is up to Rich to decide.He wrote them.
In the meantime it is up to the mods to determine what should and should not be locked.
I said it before and I will say it once more.If someone posts a Showcase thread with no screenshots then it will be locked.
He posted screenies so there is no reason to lock this thread.

You are entitled to your opinion.However...

As mods we have to adapt to any situation that rises.
Besides,if some's thread is locked and then they come up with screenshots they can e-mail a mod or start another thread.
None of the FPSC mods are on a power trip but it is our responsibility to do what is best for all of the forum members.
