Following discussion between the mods and with certain members, we've resolved to unlock this thread.
You're free to carry on as normal, but there's something I ask you to keep in mind that relates to my earlier warning:
A kind reminder that this thread doesn't belong to anyone. If you want your own private party, take your conversation to PM and I'll be very happy to lock this.
What has developed in this thread is an "us" vs. "them" mentality, where a few key posters have developed their own popular circle and readily exclude others. This isn't okay. AN shouldn't be a reflection of petty schoolyard politics. AN is an educational forum designed to support students in their studies, so we need this to be a welcoming place. Instead, recent discussion in this thread left more than one person feeling isolated and targeted, and I found myself having to apologise on behalf of AN for your behaviour.
You guys have all finished high school and are now adults. I respect that you've got each others' backs and want to look out for each other. However, I ask that you please only do so while demonstrating maturity and good grace. I KNOW you're all mature people which is why we're going to unlock this, but you need to know that your good qualities haven't come across well in the last few pages of discussion.
Oh, and now that the Class of 2014 has finished VCE, this thread has been moved to the "Forum Games and Casual Chat" board along with the Class of 2013 thread.
Mod Action: Unlocked, moved.
