I think this is what started it. Then the OP proceeded to spam GD with 6 or 7 (according to a post in the thread. I wasn't around that night till later) versions all being locked in by hosts.
In the mean while, while hosts were cleaning up this shit, the troll formerly known as Quinnox posted some meta BS that was hidden by earlg - then of course that turned in to a big conspiracy of hosts letting quinox slide due to his host status.
But other than that, it was the mean old hosts shutting down an innocent appreciation thread:

2. I self deleted the one that is Meta.
This is not. You will need to justify how that is Meta.
Yes not a GD host bit won't be run over either.

I fail to see how it is disruptive. It's more of an "atta boy" for the time out function.

7. Here's where this is going.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/124392456
If you lock one, and not the other, that would be wrong. Context is important and both these are Meta; one is a veiled callout.
I alerted on both, and this will be my only response in this thread.
Not a GDH, but one interested in keeping peace here.

16. I've only just woken up and am still catching up. Are they the only two?
If so, we need to lock them both and move on. I just looked at GD and these OPs seem to be spawning new OPs that are complaining about the Meta in GD. I don't mind some Meta, but when it's getting into the personal having a go at/chamionining other DUers who've had a hide or a time-out or whatever, they're not good...

15. GDH - I think there is a consensus to lock both of these. I see one "WSC lean leave" and that is it.
Any disagreement from GD hosts?

23. Agsmid just locked it...
I'm assuming as hosts have already reached a consensus to lock that we don't need to discuss it if it's posted again, so if I see it again I'm just going to lock it...

34. Which is why I asked further up if there were any more OPs we had to take care of...
I think the GD hosts have to get together and make sure we've got all of them, including ones that haven't been alerted on...

I'm happy to lock that one, but I'd prefer other GD hosts give some input first...

37. NAGDH: the content of the revised OPs comply with the SOP.
Its well under the wire by not mentioning a specific jury hide. Is there some subtle commentary on a jury hide and a temporary ban? Probably, but even less than that contained in an OP appreciation thread about a recently temp banned member.
Even if you think it is discussion about a recent hide, that is the exact rational hosts used to leave all the commentary about the Rude Pundit hide.
