It is more like: If people cared to READ and FOLLOW the rules, this thread would not exist.


While I agree that people should read and follow the rules
, the rules are often subjectively applied(what might be offensive to one mod may not be to another) making it difficult to follow the rules..
There is no baseline.
If the Mods were to give a reason for a locking/deleting stuff repeat breaking of the rules may be reduced.

Personally I think this is a good idea. I've updated the board so that mods and admins have to enter a reason when closing a thread. Hopefully the clearer communication will be beneficial.

Peace,

Thank you for recognizing the validity of the request
and DOUBLE thank you for implementing the feature.

I don't quite understand why some folks insist on
getting defensive and pissy about what was generally
accepted as a useful and diplomatic feature.

Wouldn't you want your government held accountable if they shut down business or arrested people for saying certain things?

A harsh analogy, sure, but you guys are the government here.

Ah, well, I guess I didn't consider that.


I do have to deal with n00bs asking me for drugs all the time...that's bad enough.

No one is forcing you to be a mod. If you don't think you can handle giving a reason for locking a thread, then :shrug:

True, you wouldn't believe how many PM's we Mods get for Locking threads WITH an explination... or moved threads, with explinations, or bans with explinations.

"Twas nice when we could sometimes lock the DRAMA anonomously... so, now OTD will have more fodder to go witch hunting... heh.

I don't mind when threads are locked, especially if they are locked for a good reason. While I can't speak for all, or even a majority or OTD, I think a lot of locks are needed and this feature will only help things.

Too bad.

With the amount of mysterious and unfounded locks,
deletes and bans that have transpired in various forums
in the past month I don't see why this isn't a good idea.

As was previously mentioned:

1. if people make bullshit follow up threads - respond or delete them
2. if people send you too many PMs - respond or delete them

Either you can be a mod and do the job, or you're just
looking for an M and a free ride.

Buck up and embrace the accountability.

Do you really want me to step down?

How many mods are in the Mush Cult as much as me?

Think before you speak bro.

I have always liked you...

but I disagree with you on this one!~

I don't think it will be too bad, but really... once we add a name and a reason to every lock... the PM's and WA&F threads about so-and-so-Mod playing locking games are sure to begin.
