Mods Can Lock A Topic...

[4th gen]

Why is it the mods can lock a topic because it's imflammatory but they can't change a topic title which contains the word "fucking" even when I submitted a report on it fucking ages ago?

:rolleyes:

[100%]

Cause it probably requires more than One Click

Click 1: Lock Topic

They can change titles. They may not want to do it because it removes the reason for the locking of the thread. :)

Here (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=107897) is the offending topic...I see no good reason for the use of the "bad word"

Yes I totally agree with you. The rules, I understand, were relaxed recently regarding swearing, something I disagree with. Though I cant remember the board being informed, or are we supposed to hunt the board for rule changes?

I guess if the rules have been relaxed then it is up to the poster to take responsibilty for his own posts/threads. Some of us rarely use swear words or use words like feck or f*ck.

I guess swearing is maybe something you grow out of? Most of the more mature members can limit their need to swear. Personally I "save" swearwords because then they have more impact when I do need to use them. :lol:

Well, that was the first time I got the anti-spam. Annoying.

It&#39;s a judgement call.

This isn&#39;t a G-rated board, and cursing is allowed (within reason), but it isn&#39;t something that&#39;s encouraged. Fuck is one of those interesting words that has evolved to have the ability to mean a great many things. "My Router Is Fucking With My Internet Connection" isn&#39;t meant to be offensive, as its context is one of "causing trouble with."

Furthermore, Hardwareworld is Virtualbody&#39;s domain. I try to leave the moderating of the worlds to those who have been charged with their stewardship. If Virtual decides that the title should be changed, that&#39;s his decision.

Yeah, my experience of anti spam has been that it&#39;s incredibly annoying.

I respect the point of view of the mod team, I just don&#39;t think that such strong, offensive words should be allowed in thread titles when the board is seen by such a wide age range.

Just my &#036;0.02 as my American cousins would say ;)

Only if you&#39;ve gone in too far :rolleyes:

I agree, the use of context was not nessasery but at the same time i don&#39;t think it hurt anything or anyone.

Yeh anti-spam should be removed.

Ok. 4th gen, I see your report about this. For me it shows that you made the report at around 2:00AM my time then you post this thread around 3:30AM. And now it&#39;s just after 9:00AM.

I have just sorted this out but... At least give me a chance. :angry:

At the time I made the report, there were two mods visible in the online list (Rip The Jacker and MagicNakor). It was my understanding that any mod could change the topic title of threads in hardware world. Perhaps I was wrong? ;)

Anyway, thank you for changing the title :)
