In Before The Lock.

There's no particular rule against them, but the mods prefer that we don't call any more attention to irrelevant/improper threads than necessary. Still, a lot of people use the phrase for mainly two reasons: 1) to tell the OP that he made a big oops, or 2) for the sake of saying it.

Actually there is. From the TB Rule Wiki:
"No "IBTL" posts

Do not post "In before the lock" posts in threads that violate forum rules. Instead, please report the thread to a moderator. "

Strange, I had sworn I had read that they are not in violation of the rules, but were nonetheless unwelcome. Shows how carefully I read the rules.
