Re: A question for Admin & moderators

When people start say other people should be killed because they don't agree with them. It's time for the thread to be closed

Maybe you have not understood what I’ve been trying to say in this thread. Let me try explaining again so you are able to see the wood from the trees.

If the moderator has a problem with what someone says as he or she deems what was said as impolite then the moderator should take it up with the individual concerned or post a warning so all are aware that some rule was bent broken or buckled. To punish the entire thread because of one members opinion is a little over the top. By closing a thread without indicating a reason does not ‘educate’ anyone so no one knows why or learns anything to avoid a reoccurrence etc.

as said an explanation would be nice how ever after thinking about it overnight i now also feel that i also should have said,if you look at most locked threads and apply a touch of common sense its not hard to work out why a thread has been locked.

the mods on here imo do a a good job in keeping our forum decent.they are fair and open minded to all the needs of a forum like this.

i may have been a bit hasty in suggesting they give us explanations everytime a thread is locked.im also pretty sure the rules of the forum let us all know what is and is not acceptable on here.

for some reason lately there has been a lot of name calling and non productive posts.

i really do not envy the mods task of trying to keep the site amicable and acceptable for all ages lately.

i now feel im going round in circles so most likely wont post on this particular thread again

rob
i could'nt agree more with what you said mate,trying to guage what a person really means from a written post devoid of voice tones and facial expressions is a very hard task indeed.

and the end of the day we all share the same passion is it really so hard for us all to keep it polite and mannerable ?????

if you feel so passionate that you feel like you have to tare into someone,then why not do what big rob suggested and take it up in private using pm's

cheers shaun

If someone makes a silly accusation or profuseness his or here support for an act of cruelty or some other uncivilized act on a public forum. That person should be answered in public as this is a forum and forum is supposed to be the place to respectfully express your distaste or support for what ever the issue being discussed.
What is the point of a forum if everyone Private Mails each other??
