SAGE is the most powerful tool in the Tinychan box,but beware with big power comes big responsiblity

A well-placed sage, or the lack of one, can make or break a fledgling thread. This is an extremely powerful tool when used in a valuable manner, but often one will neglect his 'sager's responsibility' and misuse sage at a high cost to the board itself. This usually takes the form of sageing a good thread because of personal reasons. While the sage is your personal tool, it is so powerful that systemic misuse of it could cripple the board, stifling new threads.

We can pinpoint >>3's horrific abuse of sage as the reason this thread got shelved in its prime, which, ironically, only goes to show OP's point.
