Why Was It Closed?

[hobbes]

Interesting, an obviously over the top rant was closed.

All we know is that "A" member was offended.

Nobody would like to share what was the exact offense, unless it has been PMed to Busybody.

And, as is ALWAYS the case, every MOD but the one who closed it showed up to say nothing helpful.

It is just the lounge, people are allowed to vent. Not every word should be taken literally and judging from the thread as a whole, it was done in jest. Buried under the STFU and GTFO gusto, Busybody was actually making comments about respecting others threads, keeping spam in the appropriate forum, and taking personal responsiblity for ones actions, among other things.

Let's not little Polly Prissy pants run the forum, or else who is going to have any fun?

Reopen the thread, I doubt anyone will get scarred for life.

If you people can't understand why folks get angry/annoyed at having their topics closed for no stated reason, and the other mods just make lame excuses about signature size and such, you simply don't have clue 1 about human nature.

People do not like having their autonomy controlled by random acts of censorship. Simple human nature.

I was PM'ed about my sig and have no problem with that.
It violated board rules. btw the pic is the Lounge now to sneak a peak. ahhhhh

I was just curious as to the rationale behind the topics closing.

If I can't get an answer, I will not go Billy Dean on anyone or anything like that.

To some it is a big deal because you wonder what's the point in posting here.
Imagine if you posted something that just disappeared afterwards...oh wait that has happened.

The topic was merely STFU!!! with commentary.

I am not rated G

Well, I can see what j2k4 meant when he said Busyman doesn't like to lose.

But I think it's time we kill this thread.

Indeed it has

Did'nt we have a discussion once about mods closing topics without explaination?
I think its fair that the thread was closed because someone took offense and a mod agreed that it could be offensive. What I dont agree with is it being closed without a quick reply to explain why. IMO it shows a lack of respect to the members that posted in a thread.

I remember your missing posts.

That was eerie indeed. That seemed more like a glitch though...but...maybe not.
