Closing/Deleting threads

Fai · #1 05-30-2001, 08:43 AM

Every interesting thread is getting deleted/closed

I don't get it. Threads without any rules broken in them get deleted/closed. Closing a thread should be used in a situation like.... If there is a long thread, and some *****s come on and start cursing and starting arguments in that thread, they should close the thread, and delete the bad posts so no arguments continue and nothing on there is bad. Deleting a thread should be used when someone posts something like "aiwjfio" as a thread. Shady's threads were about something, and should not have been deleted.

Amen, Fai, Amen. I also made a thread about this, but I think it was ignored.

Recently several threads have been closed or deleted. This was for the content in them or the type of posting that was going on.

When the moderators or administrators close threads, that does not mean you have the right to start another thread continuing on.

I just deleted a thread waar made about me deleting a thread about a thread that was closed.

Do not do this, they were closed/deleted for reasons. If you have problems, then contact a moderator or administrator.

Yes I read it. That is what made me make this thread. There was NO bad content in them.

I just think the mods should go a little easier on us

StoneColdRichie · #10 05-30-2001, 08:51 AM

deleting threads with harassment in them is now called corruption
ok
unixmad must really be into corruption if he's the one who wants us to not allow harassment

Fai · #11 05-30-2001, 08:51 AM

Nobody harassed anybody.

Not false.

StoneColdRichie · #14 05-30-2001, 08:54 AM

give me an example of something that was closed or deleted that didn't have harassment, fai.

Listen. If you don't like the policies, then I suggest taking it up with an admin or just plain leaving. I'm not saying you should, I'm just saying that whining is never going to get anyone anywhere, ever. They're the moderators, we're the posters. The posters abide by a couple of set rules and are then restricted to them.

I will ask Trueheat to set out a list of rules, since he is an administrator to the boards, and that's the best we can do. And EVERYONE (Including Moderators/Administrators) will follow those rules. If you feel game is corrupted or biased, then take it up with Trueheat/Hawk. We're going in a circle, and it's gonna continue like that until you think up something like the list of rules.

Telling us won't help. Like I said, we're the posters. We can't do jack crap.

i didn't delete it

EThor · #18 05-30-2001, 08:56 AM

In the thread I posted about Shady, a poll to see if he was wanted back, it was automatically deleted. I think Gameo read it and trashed it. There was no harrasment or rude,derogetory, or offensive comments. It was an opinion post and it was automatically deleted. I'm guessing because it was about Shady. This was uncalled for. He is a person, despite what he has done, and he deserves some repsect. I'm actually suprised, Gameo, your always going on about fairness, non corruption, and all that jazz, when infact you are quite bias.

hey guy
use common sense
making a poll about someone being banned does nothing but start arguments

Then what happened to it? It didn't magically disappear, and it seemed to be gone as soon as I posted it.

I was asking an opinion. How do you know if it was? You didn't give anyone a chance to respond... =/

when a player is banned you don't make a poll to unban them
THINK BEFORE YOU DO THINGS

EThor · #23 05-30-2001, 09:08 AM

I'm gonna drop it. I'm sorry for causing an argument Gameo.

I won't post threads anymore...

It's sad that the board has come to this. A once great board, has turned into a closely censored board, that half the posts are complaints about the moderation/administration.

I don't see why the moderators/admins have to delete/close so many of our discussions. This is a message board, the reason we come to it, is to see the opinions of other people, and post opinions of our own.

YES!! I feel oppressed now

Fai · #26 05-30-2001, 09:14 AM

Asuka · #27 05-30-2001, 09:31 AM
