Why does ever thread seem to end up merged or locked nowadays. Its a forum for christ sake let people talk !

lock it

Merge it with the bickering thread

I think that so many threads are locked these days because so many members post drivel or say things that could be seen as slander. For example a while back someone posted on here suggesting that a player had or was having an extra martial relationship. I Pm'd one of the Mods to inform them of this and the thread got deleted.

Perhaps if people would stick to topic and be respectful and mindful when they post then this forum would be a lot better for us all to read and engage in.

do u think the players read these forums? oh dear.

as pc once said "dont do internet forums . never have never will! "

TBF some of them do...

oh yes . course they do. i forgot. silly me.

NEVER question the mods. Forbidden.

is the mods fave film quadrophenia?

WIthout Mods there is no forum.

without us there is no forum.

So we each rely on each other.

That is not strictly true. We would have an unmoderated forum.

That is true.

exacltly. so why do they lock threads all the time. especially wen they just start to get interesting.

Yes some do ...

does chris bridge?

We should have a stickie rumour thread like the pies and keep all the crap in there.

I have thought about what you have posted and searched the last three pages of posts on this forum. There are only two threads that have been locked and here are what they are about.

Yes I agree and that's why they were locked by the Mods

Oh don't get me wrong i agree that pointless threads like those should be locked but i think the poster actually means other threads started by people with better knowledge.

No surprises on this thread, the usual couple of people complaining about the Moderation on this forum.

Duplicate topics will get merged and topics which add no value will be locked or if deemed necessary deleted.

You all agreed to abide by the AUP when you signed up which includes no public criticism of the moderation.

If you don't like the way the forum is moderated, no one is forcing you to read or post on it.

If anyone else starts a thread on merged or deleted topics, then you can expect to take a break from the forum.

If you have a problem PM a Mod or Admin.
