    I couldn't say about other moderators, but whenever I locked threads while locked, it was perfectly appropriate that I be locked.

    I may have had a hard day, for example. Also, my doctor has told me that I need to drink more alcohol.

    The airsoft forums increase the number of locked threads that don't need to be locked significantly. The moderators of it are ridiculous.
    That forum only exists to protect the interest of those who are moderators of the forum. They slice out all of the threads that doesn't quite fit in to their idea of the grand scheme of things.

    Who the fu(k locked my 'ireland losing its heritage' thread and why??

    That was the single most amazing thread that this site has ever had!!! It was going to take boards.ie to the next level ie a maintained and constant state of orgasim.

    A thread as sexually aware will not and connot exist again!
    You have c0ckblocked every user of the internet.

    I am disgusted.

    edit: Sorry i see now that the racists had at my thread. apologies

    We should be ok now. I banned a load of users there, I used the good old "If you don't know what you did wrong then you have no place being in the forum any more so I'll just make the ban permanent" for the ban reason. Most will be too afraid to complain and the ones that do complain will earn a nice permanent ban and we get a big bonus.

    It can also be a noun, as in:

    And it can be an adjective, as in "treble choir".

    The worst part is a lot are trying so hard to be funny and end up filling the thread with completely cringeworthy crap.

    The worst lolcats > mod jokes.

    Down to five daily now, there's a recession on apparently.

    The likes of Ruu and Gordon dicked it up for everybody with their ostentacious excess, now the rest of us have to live with the consequences :mad:

    I heard they had to evict banlist.php due to lack of funds, and users are now expected to supply their own bits for posting (which isn't as painful as it sounds).

    Perhaps, and with respect, Mr. Sabotage, this is deserving of a feedback thread of its own?
    I tried my best with this one, moved it from AH to open it for more interest. I would just take it that people are happy with our locking procedures at the moment hence we don't have a number of pages where a topic is hotly discussed.
