locked threads

Monkey

The moderator has become a bit of a dictator - that's me finished with this forum goodbye

stevejazzx

just read through the first 4/5 threads all locked due to pretty small reasons...
ahhh reminds of world cup referees so it does!
in seriousness though whats up with the mod?
I surprised I'm posting here actually - I mean shouldn't this be moved to helpdesk or feedback..now come on tintin get your groove on.

Yes, I sent a PM to the mod about this.

Oriel

Seems like a jerk to me.

Lets hold off, he's definately over reacting big time but lets give him the opportunity to change his mind.

Slagging the mod is only going to make him fight his corner.

I'd say pm all 3 mods, in no response, pm the Cat mods. Still nothing (which i doubt) go to the feedback.

No point having a thread like this here.

*Charter* READ BEFORE POSTING (*Updated 12/05/06*)
Hi All,
Welcome to the new Art Appreciation Forum! A peaceful place where we can DISCUSS the various goings on in the world of art both past and present!
As we are only new it would be great to get more people involved so feel free to add a link to us in your signature (not doing so will result in a permanent ban)*JOKE

Anyhow same rules apply as in all forums on boards! Please don’t break them because I don’t want to have to ban you but if I have to I have a can of whoop-ass and im waiting to open it!

Advertising
- Topics/posts that contain this will be both edited and locked. If you wish to buy ad space, contact De Vore. Obviously this excludes advertising of events relevant to the thread. PM me if you are not sure.

Flaming
- Posts containing personal attacks on another user will be edited/deleted, and user banned

Spamming
- Topics/posts that are just complete nonsense will be deleted.

Racism
- Topics/posts containing such will be edited/deleted accordingly and user will receive a PERMANENT ban.

Porn/Nudity
- Topics/posts containing porn will be deleted on sight and user permanently banned. What I will say here on the topic of nudity/graphic material is that with the nature of the topic we are dealing with some links and pics may obviously be considered graphic in nature. However if you are posting something that you think could be a problem, label it not safe for work.

Stay on topic,
-Repeated posting of nonsense will result in a ban.

Don’t be a troll.
-Lack of knowledge is perfectly acceptable; the forum is here to help. Trolling disrupts the flow of the forum and pisses everyone off tbh.


These rules are of course subject to change.

Above all else guys just use your head’s when posting and most of all Enjoy!!

If you have any questions/queries, please feel free to PM me!

Cheers,
Tintinr35

There is nothing in the charter that states "threads that people don't find interesting and will sink anyway will be locked". Nor should there be.

There's a *big* difference between threads descending into anarchy and bringing down the tone of the board, and threads that organically wither away.

Although I may now get banned because I broke one of the rules: "If you have any questions/queries, please feel free to PM me!" Well, I did that first. Now I'm publicising my dissent.

tintinr35

moved this here, but dont really know if its even the right place!!!

i have re opened 2 of the locked threads, the others i wont budge on because i feel they have run their course!!!

Sinecura you are banned for a week for that little bit of abuse!!

BlitzKrieg

had a look at the forum...and tintinr35, as a mod i can understand the need to keep things tidy, on topic etc etc. But i think in some threads you might have been too quick (and to harsh) with locking them.

for example

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054951874

You didnt need to lock it, you could have left it with your first comment, and i'm pretty sure O fiach would have informed you, which in turn would have led to more discussion.


Your not a bad mod, just need to remember the smaller forums like the ones we manage do not need to have as much aggressive modding as after hours or politics, cause 90% of the time only people interested in the material will visit them and by being so harsh your putting off people who would otherwise make the forum.

masteroftherealm

There does seem to be a bit of overkill. All the locke threads seemed to have the potential to go somewhere.

Tar.Aldarion

I was on last night when he was doing this, I thought you must have been drunk man.

Why are you banning him for abusing you on feedback, from your forum?

fade2black

I think the thread originated in Art so he was banning him there...

Tar.Aldarion

Not more moving threads to fora scandal. Better take yourself to netwhizkids thread sinecurea. :P

masteroftherealm

Dont get me started in that kid.
If I could be admin for 2mins hes first on my 12-click list!!!
