Can someone please kindly clarify for me what the forum rules are in regards to having an opinion in the 'Hot Topics' forum? Apparently when you speak your mind that is grounds for topic locking and revocation of your posting privledges.

Discuss.

You have the hardest time understanding simple concepts, don't you?

A mod can lock it for whatever reason he/she wants. No rules have to be "broken" to warrant a lock. There have been several flame topics that have been locked, and flaming isn't against the rules.

Also, you are breaking an understood code of conduct. You respect and obey the moderators/administrators. Egotistical continuance against the wishes of the administration team only makes you out to be a fool. Stop acting like troop. Nobody's agreeing with you, so you can't possibly expect to think you're in the right.

whoa.

I don't recall having to make a rule that says to obey the admin and mods when you are asked to do something. I asked politely for this one particular line of discussion to end, and now you are trying everyone's patience. I really don't want to have to take matters any further than this. We do NOT want to discuss the Spoony/me situation any further. Why is that so hard to understand? I'm REALLY REALLY tired of fighting with people.

I'm the bawss.

Usually most people have enough respect to understand that you obey the mods and admins. It's a simple concept, but it's lost on too many people.

whoa.

I'm not trying to be difficult here, but j_ball, let's be practical. There is no good reason why his topics are being locked... if there is, please notify me.

Don't try to tell me "IT'S TEH WILL OF THE MODS! U OBEY THEM!?" because in a situation like this, that's just ridiculous.

The administration doesn't want the discussion of this topic on their forums. Honestly, I would delete every thread on my forum that was meant to be disrespectful to my wishes. I have no tolerance for disrespect. Nobody has the right to be on these forums. Nobody has the right to post, and certainly no right to disrespect the administration.

I don't give a fuck if you think that is logical or not. I wouldn't let someone into my house just so they can speak malign words about me. That's just asking for a shove out my door or a call to the cops about a trespasser. Nobody comes into my house and disrespects me, and the same goes for my sites and forums. I believe it to be no different here. Obey the mods or STFU and GTFO.

whoa.

No, he ripped it from a TV network we have in the US. Still extremely hilarious, though. http://www.tnt.tv/

Yeah but the differenc here is that the mods and admins of this forum are supposed to be doing the community a favor and upholding a responsibility to us all. If they start censoring people, deleting posts, and locking topics that they don't agree with ... this becomes a disinterest to the community.

All I wanted to know is why Warranto decided to get a hair up his ass and lock all of my threads. He never once PMd me, and when I went into discussions about asking him why he's locking he just said "dont argue with mods" (put simply) and locked again. In my mind that is mod abuse.

You're not going to get the respect of people by treating them unfairly or with bias.

I would like to say thank you to whoever un-did the post-lock and kept this thread open. For what it's worth...

Aaaaaaah the irony!

Sometimes you need to know when to drop a subject, fl00ded Wink

. Most of the time that's when an admin/mod locks the topic Smile

Yes, ofcourse, but, in some of the topics there where useful remarks which Crimson, or any other admin, could do something with. I doubt that will be done now the topics are closed.

To be fair she did, I don't think the desire is there to set things up, so I am done with it for now.

It seems that the train of conversation simply resulted in flames from all directions - seems better for everyone if Spoony and Crimson sort things out between themselves.

fl00ded if you are interested in the concept and not just arguments between spoony and crimson then give me a shout.
