Why so many threads getting locked?

[mrRuckus]

The mere fact that people are questioning whether so many threads should be locked serves as checks and balances by causing mods to question whether the thread they are locking really needs to be locked. That way we can lean more towards threads being locked for the right reasons more than any personal bias any mods being human might lean towards now and then.

It's just a little bit of peer review (not in the scientific usage).

Sure it's someone else's board to own and operate as they see fit, but I doubt they want to serve as gods over us mere mortal users.

I've never liked the "go somewhere else" or "if you don't like it, move" arguments. That is nothing but running away from problems and soon there is no where left to run to since there are problems everywhere. Might as well speak up in hopes of change, but there's no use in being a smarmy pr1ck about it or being sarcastic as if the written word has tone others can pick up.

Until this thread is locked. I've noticed a lot of ... henpecking. They can rename this place the Lifetime Forum pretty soon.

 

[STR8UP]

Half of the threads locked were mine, even though supposedly me and Rollo and a few others are in cahoots to control the sosuave universe.

When the trolls come, the threads become nothing more than useless arguments, and to maintain the integrity of the board they get shut down. Pretty simple.

 

[MacAvoy]

Mr Ruckus, if you actually read the threads, you would realize that there is a reason for locking the threads. They are just locked because the mods didn't like a certain poster. Your trying to make a general statement but have no facts to back it up.

Censorship is something the state does.

Usually, yes, but the word itself is not specific to government action only.
