Was looking at a thread I started but realized I could not reply it says the thread is Locked ' what does that mean ?
The "locked thread" is a tricky tool to stop an ongoing argument. If it's locked by a moderator involved in said argument it makes it worse.
I support locking threads when things get out of hand, however moderatorz should try not be swayed by personal judgement when doing so. In one situation, way back, a thread was locked by a Mod who felt the members disagreeing with him shouldn't be able to continue posting - only to come back next day and post his rebuttal while keeping the thread locked.
My requests to the Mods: if you are active on a thread you feel it should be locked please ask another Mod to lock it.
This is old history...Before you were moderating.This thread that was locked, I was asked my opinion. I wasn't involved in the comments. So we do talk before locking or making decisions on threads.

Step away from the coffeeI'm guessing that part of it means that you should have worded things differently from the beginning. Your opening statement alone set the tone for the BS that ensued!
Also, since you joined in June of last year, maybe you should have kept up with what was going on. Very little has changed, log in more often and you'll see that things get moved on a regular basis. Pop has recently taken the brunt of it, but it's been happening all along, even while he was out due to personal medical issues and numerous family issues!
I'm one of the most laid back and easy going folks on here, but when people come in and tell how the forum should be ran, that just gets on my nerves! LOTS of folks of late seem to know it all and want to come in and gripe about this site and how it's managed.
Don't agree with how it's being ran, and you've only contributed a small bit, move along or realize that changes happen.
Don't agree with how things are being ran and you've contributed a lot, volunteer to be a part of the decision making team!
I'm at the point that I don't care if I get a time out! This forum is FREE to most of the folks that use it! Very little contribute monetarily, but they feel like they have a say in how it's managed.
if you don't like it, go elsewhere! If you do like it, realize that the search bar and many other links within this forum will provide you with all you need to know!
Admins and mods, feel free to slap me upside the head or whatever else you deem fit...
For once on here, I Am CRANKY!
