When moderators lock threads would they please identify themselves as the moderator responsible and supply a reason for locking the thread? That way, when us loyal, paying customers submit a reply to a thread, only to find that it's been locked without warning, we can then PM the moderator responsible and tell them what an idiot you are and demand our money back. Thankyou.
No problem with that. Actually I'm trying to do it all the time. Even when I delete posts, I do it through edit option where I could leave message to the member with a reason. It's more fair. But, I'm afraid I can't give you your money back. I love its colour, scent and the way it fits in my hands.
Oh, I know that, silly! We've already established that you come in between sliced bread and jet-skis on the list of the World's Greatest Things. I was talking about Absane. The fact that I've blamed him wrongly once before doesn't, of course, prevent me from, potentially, making the same mistake twice. I always try to make mistakes at least twice (if they're worth making at all).
yeah, its awesome having an admin that is actually present! porf was like an absentee landlord. nice in theory....until you have a broken window.
I too would leave a reason for locking a thread, unless it's painfully obvious. I also leave messages saying that I've moved a thread. I'm just weird like that.
The answer is simple, the moderator didnt like the thread. If u dont like the mods actions then create a new Forum based on Digg.com of no moderators technology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhpBB
I wasn't objecting to the thread being locked; I was objecting to it being locked anonymously and without explanation. No thanks. I think you should do it. You seem really keen on the idea.
@ Singularity If you don't like this place and mod action here, then please leave this forum and create your own one and don't try to obstruct the discussions on SciForum.
Nope, I am keen on mother of all human inventions. But its not yet invented. I was just trying to make use of my exceptionally huge Brain size. So u c 1st i thought i should go for the phpBB , learn PHP and modify it and use Digg technology making it even better in the process but then something wonderful happened in my mind. umm, let me name the technology. Lets see, I will call in TorrentGroups, just like YahooGroups, based on Digg voting system and using Torrent technology, decentralized Website independent. What say ? Or should i name it as BitChat ? Naaa.
Very funny Mr Human mentality. I was trying to point out the directions for Sciforums innovation. All this for free, U know why ? Bcause I love SciForums.
We all appreciate enthusiastic contribution here, but we don't allow obstruction and trolling and I just want to point that out.
If thats the case then why dont u just lock this thread and make each and every subscriber of this thread very very angry. Speaking about being on the track of this thread topic. Now i wonder what more frustrating , a locked thread or trolling ? The Troll will go away after a few posts but a locked thread is a dead thread.
