There are a ton of them in art of someone;s art, but those are different, I think there should be one thred were everyone can post their art, not one. But yeah...
One massive thread for everyone to post their art in, would mean people would steal attention from each other... I think it's better as it is.
Also, those are not threads about a person (unless someone has a thread about a specific character). They are threads about a certain person's artwork.
Not to be stupid, annoying or anything, but uhm...
This thread wasn't exactly being spammed, and I've always thought that it was dumb how every thread that got answered should get locked as well.
When it's answered and there's nothing more to say, it should naturally not receive any more posts. Granted, many such threads attract an incomprehensible amount of duplicate replies, and that is why they get locked.
But when it doesn't happen, I usually leave the thread open for potentially related questions...
I don't feel like overruling a lock, though, so I'll just top you lock with my lock, because my lock comes with a picture.
