Title: About post locks
Post by: Paradox on April 16, 2007, 05:07:32 pm
Some people dont seem to get the idea of post locks. If a post is locked, it is for a good reason, usually the post was a flame war, a useless post that served no purpose, or an offensive post. If a post is locked, DO NOT open a new post that is the same post, i can just as easily lock or delete it. Also, one thing that seems common is the opening of posts saying "OMG! THEY LOCKDED MY POST!!!1!!one!!OMGWTF" If a post was locked, it was locked for a reason. If you feel that a post was acceptable, pm a moderator, and state why you think it should be unlocked, as well as a link to the post.

Wow Paradox, I had no idea you would be so upset about my wishing a 15 year old a happy birthday.  Don't be an asshole.

Oh, and I posted this one publicly on purpose.  There's no way I'm going to quietly PM you about your removing a perfectly decent and non-spamming post.  You're being a fucking dyke and I want the forum to know it.

The case was about the actual posting, not the content of it.

Difference between enforcing rules and power-freak tho... Thankfully Paradox apparently is still on the safe side of that line.   :)


It is really sad that you miss the actual point. I don't mean any dictatorship, just rules to keep some retards in line. So I don't know where you angst comes from.. But really... You just... As I said before.

Guys/Girls could it be that you forget something elementary here?

This forum is NO DEMOCRACY.

And I'm in total agreement.  I was just pissed cuz I thought he deleted something of mine out of spite... I believe I already backed down and posted some form of apology...  May we drop this?

(My "anarchy" post was just cuz I liked the symbol)

my dad is a teacher, and he has a philosophy when it comes to students questioning the democracy of a classroom. philiosophy being that his class is a benign dicatorship, and the benignness of the dictator depenends on the attitude of the student.

same principle here i recon

You got that one wrong.
No one forces us to be here, but loads of parents force their kids to be with your dad.

I don't know if you just now discovered forums or are just new to "the internet", but your analogy sucks.

Take a look at me and paradox .) He is a mod and I am still here.
