Every mod does things their own way, I probably would have done that and stickied a post saying “please direct all future comments to the megapost”, but in general, I think the megathread was the right call.
Within 24 hours, that other post will drop off the page and I guarantee the speaker drama will roll on and on. I don’t see it ending in 5 days like last time.
Why not just lock the other before making this?

A fair set of logic.
Locking but retaining the other would have quelled some of these somewhat incensed folks.
