@blindsquarel I don't mind locking down comments but to do so after so many other people commented just makes me feel like my comments are no important to the site. Either have them locked from the beginning or not at all. Especially because "It's the end of the day". As I said it's not even Noon where I am at. What type of excuses is that?
On one hand I'm having trouble seeing why people are so outraged (beyond it's the inter netting webs) at an article about a popular gaming shop being robbed and on the other hand I'm setting my alarm clock for 9am UK time for when the article comments section opens up again so I can join in the fun.

Yeah, i guess making comments on this thread likely won’t change much.
But that won’t stop me from complaining in the comments. I swear every double digit likes comment I have is along the lines of “ you guys are just milking this now”.

@Tasuki the article itself wasn't really polarizing.. are there people in favor of stores being robbed? The fact that people feel compelled to get off topic in weird ways is a different issue although if the site anticipated needing to lock or super-moderate the comments I agree either not having the article or simply not allowing comments from the beginning would make sense.
I will say though I have made over 1,000 comments on the site and never had my comment removed and was never unable to comment on an active article so I wouldn't say it's a super common problem even with me being in the non-main timezone for the site.
Hey @antdickens , just wanted to report that the formatting for sister site articles is not rendering correctly in Firefox.
The border rectangle is not fully wrapping around the article image, and the tags are overlapping the preview text.
This renders correctly in Chrome.
