About Locked Posts

**Rat Faced** · 06-21-2003, 07:42 PM

The threads are the History of the Forum.

We dont like deleting them at any time....and will bend over backwards NOT to delete them....its like trying to interfere with the boards evolution.

Moving them or locking them are the prefered options, depending upon what has happened on a thread, and recently in the forum...

eg:
The "How do i become a Mod"...ripe for spamming, and had started...but hasnt been asked for a couple of weeks, so it was locked.

If someone had asked a couple of days ago, it would probably have been moved to the lounge when the spamming started.

Locking a topic gives another advantage. The member who started the thread can always ask us to reopen it, and that will be considered. If we move it to the lounge, its usually unsalvagable by the time the question comes up.

That's so true sister. The hyenas have normally picked over the bones before you can say Jack Robinson.

We are, for once, in total agreement.

Dont be catty Curley

If we close one of your threads and you havent had an answer...PM us.

Usually there is a reason, as has been explained before...however we will consider re-opening at the thread starters request.

If the MOD that closed the thread doesnt agree, then try another one..he may have a hangover or something

I am noticing a tendancy towards harshness Curley. Are you not yourself at present. I know the feeling.
