I go back and forth on Mr. Cervantes. For instance, I liked his summing up of the Ziddy situation. In fact I'm changing my rating of him.

thanks for discussing this with me openly and diplomatically.

your assessment is correct...this sort of fix is largely applicable
to the social forums.

I think it was over Swami. I think I called you a douche or something, and then you warned me. And then I said your warning of me was a "fucking joke".

no

what I cared about was people like you judging me...

before knowing the truth.

I don't give 3 f#ck's in the wind about ratings...

if I did care...

I wouldn't be in here debating this issue.

I'd be quiet and let nature take its course!~

I'm sure I'll take some hits for my views on this matter...

but so be it!~

That Swami thing SUCKED... you guys had a great case, until you started calling the Mods names (and there were No Admins, but geo around) it was Christmas break and NOBODY was on duty... I was outside my home forum so I couldn't lock the thread... I could only warn and ban. I hope you understand. I banned Whiterasta too that night! Hehehe...

On the bright side, I only gave you a 1 hour ban . The Admins won't let us ban for under 24 now.

Wow Tao... 5 shrooms again! :smile: That looks much better! Should I give you a retaliation rating?

It's ok, no worries. I had that one coming. I literally was asking for it. Like I said, I hold you in high-esteem among the mods.

And to be fair, Roadkill's (private) aliby checks out... he posted it in the Mod forum (he had just been re-modded and wisely, told the Admins and Mods his side of the story), but RK was advised to keep the explination private to minimize drama... and he took a few hits for it.

Boxtop, like Roadkill, is a popular guy, who has helped many Shroomerites. People would have just played favorites (because we LOVE drama!). This didn't seem fair to Roadkill because he had just returned to the community after a long absence, and at the time, many new faces only knew of Boxtop. Roadkill was, once again, the new kid on the block.

Basically the whole situation was like a divorce (only a gay one :tongue:)... ugly, and both sides were pissed at each other.

Sometimes details are best kept private... even though they may set you free. In fact, it seemed this was a part of the reason Boxtop even made this issue public... because it was SOOO ackward for RK to discuss.

He didn't need to tell his entire side of the story, he could have just popped into the thread and said "Boxtop is lying, but it is a private issue between him and myself and I will not discuss it on a public message board, I'd just like people to know that he's not telling the truth." Surely that would have been a good idea. For him not to even deny the charges came across strikingly as guilt.

Yup it did look bad... but like I said, sometimes there is a VALID reason to keep things private, even if that reason would not be viewed as bad by this community... the Mods understood why it was best kept private INSTANTLY! We also, unanimously believed Roadkill's version of events.

Let's just say in America... we (Cultivation Mods in particular) shouldn't publicly mention all of our past activities... something most Sponsors, community members, cultivation Mods and cultivators understand very well.

Sadly, I still think this is partly why Boxtop brought the issue up in the first place.

I hate it, but I can't say more.

Please keep this ON TOPIC, this is a discussion about locked thread accountability.

Now back to this, the question has been asked if mods could close a thread and leave a reason but not have it say which mod closed the thread.

How is that for comprimise?

It solves the problem of mods being unfairly attacked for doing their job, it also gives the public the reasons as to why the thread was locked.

I really think that defeats the purpose of accountability. I believe the name and the reason has to be there for it to be any good.

    #4292639 -

when a thread gets locked for no apparent reason (to me) and is left unexplained, it kinda upsets me.....especially if its a thread that i was a part of. a brief explanation of which rule was broken, and where in the thread this occured would be awsome. and no, i dont think the mod/admin who did the locking needs to make themselves known, as long as there was an explanation as to why it was locked. if a thread gets locked, its locked....doesnt matter by who. but there are many times i wonder why.

how's your WOW?

I agree with Cervantes that the locked thread dilemma applies mainly to the lower forums at the very least starting with the Pub. I would say to start from General Questions and go down but that's up to the admin/mods and the community. I don't see anywhere nearly as much discrepancy in the Mushrooms and Mycology forums.

So as a compromise how do the admins/mods and community feel about implementing the new policy (reason for lock AND admin/mod responsible) starting with either General Questions or the Pub?

if they are gonna do this, they may as well do it for all the forums.....but i still see no need to identify the mod/admin who locked the thread.....just leave an anonymous explanation as to who broke what rule, and leave it at that. its not that hard guys.
