My only rule is no personal attacks. Threads can wander organically, but once personal attacks start I'm locking threads, even when other moderators are involved. It's the only way I was able to calm down those knuckleheads in Off Topic.

I'm also banning repeat offenders, with no questions asked.

Well then Jamieson should be banned. He repeatedly personally insults other members. And, he's a moderator.

we alone have the ultimate power

the power to ignore.

glance thru posts you like

and ignore or slide/glance thru ones you dun like

surfing on the ocean

surfing on the net

surfing on the forums

my point

if you are a surfer on the ocean or forum

you would ignore the small waves

if you see the big/good wave/post coming

you surf on it and have a good ride of your life

the rest of small waves or posts

eeh naaah

dun even bother

Isn't that what the OFF Topic forum was for?

[Lokhopkuen]

Kill 'em all,
Let god sort them out

Scott, you flipped out.
You didn't say a word to me, you didn't pm your concern or your tack, you simply flipped out.

And you're still doing it man!
Your issues with me are yours. Take them up with me and don't bloat the forum with your freak outs and announcements of how you feel the forum should be run. If you wanted to run it, you could have easily asked to step in when the trolls were overwhelming.

You didn't, did you? So someone does and now you care all of a sudden?
yeah, I take exception to that on the face of it. I'm certain you have the intellectual capacity to understand why.
If not, I am unconcerned.

If you want to continue, take it to PM's
This goes for everyone.

nuff said.

Stop closing all the threads

[Kansuke]

Pretty clear what's going on here.

[IronWeasel]

Everytime I go to make a reply, the thread is locked.

This will be a forum of Read Only threads!

We'll soon just have to communicate in PM's to each other...


So, Jamieson: Ban the trolls. Don't lock (all) of the threads.

Thanks

Let's see, rather than deleting the disruptive, off topic posts but the troll "hardwork" - Jamieson instead closes that thread. Thus, Jamieson is using his moderating powers to FURTHER the trolling.

Great job there

[IronWeasel]

Who's moderating the moderators?

[David Jamieson]

Sorry to burst anyones bubble, but I didn't close the thread.

However, these threads are entirely unproductive when they degrade to the bickering etc.

Ironweasel, the thread was closed by someone else who is an admin or a mod here.

Now, having said that, carry on.

[lkfmdc]

By closing a thread that a troll disrupts, you are advancing the troll's agenda, NOT "moderating" - if you can't understand that then you shouldn't be a moderator

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry DJ, my mistake. I just assumed.


So, then....would WHOEVER keeps locking these, stop it?

Thanks in advance.

[lkfmdc]

If Jamieson says he didn't close it, well, he didn't

but it is still a very bad trend here now

Dave, please reread my post. Thanks.
