Uhhm, yes?

That way I'm sure there isn't any weird "now we own your body AND soul" clauses.

You call those snobish assholes artists ?
I talk about people who make real art and not about those idiots who can´t even play a guitar and think that music is just about bling bling and women. There are some real artists who need the money because they don´t change their music just because they want to sell more records. Intellingent music and popular music usually are two different things. And MTV is not music television it´s crap televison; you will never ever find real music or artists on that piece of shit channel. (Well some exeptions maybe at nightime I dunno)

why not just ban them ? i mean, they did break the rules. Or mabey hand out a "free flaming pass" to editors of the best 3 vids each month, so they can flame these idiots all they like without being bitched at by the admins.

If this site banned everyone who broke the rules, you and I would have been banned a long time ago. Or have you not read the rules?

Well, banishment is a bit harsh methinks. Phade's Code of Ethics, though was very reasonable as a whole, and he endorsed that as a deterent:

Phade, peerless and unsurpassed wrote:7. There shall be no posts containing or on how to obtain warez, crackz, serialz, porn/hentai, bootlegs, or downloadable anime episodes, music or any other sort of copyrighted material. You will be banned without warning for such posts.

As this is his site, I can only imagine he had made good on this sometime prior to June this of year.

However, these topics do serve to clutter the respective forums that they populate. Over the course of 4 years I'm certain that they are in overabundance. My question is: Is it a hassle to initiate a thread deletion with phpBB? I mean I've never had administrative experience with this particular board software, so is it any more step intensive than say... vBulletin?

Unless there is another reason for just keeping them merely locked and still in exsistence (a subtle warning perhaps).

Yes, "subtle" warnings are done here.
Hence the lockage of threads being more common than the deletion of them.
And even then most threads aren't really "deleted"...
Just moved to a hidden forum that only ADMIN and/or MOD can access and use.
I'm a MOD and my style is normally to move those offending posts if I believe the thread could still be of use if they're removed.
If not then I just lock or delete the posts without remorse.
A hassle to initiate deletion? No.
One just has to use the MOD tools and select "delete".
Not that hard...

Although in some cases that does create some weird results that may harm the site but that's another issue altogether.
As for being harder to do than in VBulleting, don't know.
Never worked with that.

Pie is all that matters.

Whoops, somehow missed this.

Yes, a main reason for the preference of locking to deletion (which, around here, is synonymous with "moving out of sight of non-mod/admins") is the deterrent factor. At least from what I've gathered from previous discussion about it.
