hai guys. why not live a little. why do you close everything down? it's kind of pointless don't you think... i mean, for a forum that's not active, to not allow users to post...i mean... that's like thinking the world is flat...

i was a regular here back in the day. 6 years ago. and now times have changed...things are... i am not even gonna bother.

i wish i didn't even bother registering.

i saw tomguy's name and was like...haven't heard that in a while..

now i'm like... please blow this board up.

There is a FAQ, which details some of the reasons why your threads might have been closed, and the presence of stickies in this section (one of which you were even pointed to) further detailing things.

But if you can't deal with a situation where certain basic criteria of quality are applied to new threads, I guess the best advice I can give you is to not let the door hit you on the way out.

Sorry, but having been here years ago doesn't mean you get a blank check to make bad threads.

Who was suggesting that?

But to basically tell them to fuck off without at least being calm, that is your problem.

He first posted this.

It was closed with a friendly, if brief, pointer to the proper thread for that.

Then he posted that.

Then he posted this thread, essentially saying that the board should be "blown up" because we closed the previous two threads.

Besides, I don't really see what about my post was not calm, or even where I told him to "fuck off"; I just implicitly stated that, if he sees the thread closures as a reason to leave, I won't be one to stop him.

The reply to that thread was "this", with no indication of a link to the FAQ or even why making a thread like that is so unreasonable. If you think about it he was also inquiring as to the state of other oldbies.

It's funny that you're such a hardass as soon as someone forgets the capital letters, but if you want to be a total asshat you can go on and on without being even warned.

The FAQ is linked in the board's header; the "this" post, I'll admit, was rather brief and non-descriptive (though he really could have deduced from the linked thread's title...), and that inquiry was weird and incomprehensible at best. The thread's closure might well have been a bit rushed, but his reaction to it was inappropriate and hardly left us with a choice.

It's funny that you're such a hardass as soon as someone forgets the capital letters, but if you want to be a total asshat you can go on and on without being even warned.

You can't stop my grammar fetish <3

Apart from that, what exactly do you mean by the second half of the sentence?

<3 you bh

Why, thank you. Who are you, by the way?

The point is, this place is hardly the place it was 6 years ago. That being said, discussions about what goes on regarding stickied threads and posting methodologies should be taken up through PM's if there are any problems.

Sorry if I pissed anyone off though.

Oh, he is. The barcode we branded him with appears to read "1918".

But yeah, you must understand that staff members, too, are just people; they make mistakes in doing their work and mostly can be talked with if that might have happened.

The world changes and so does people. Forums have rules for a reason. It is possible to have discussions without tossing insults back and forth.

It is a mystery.

"Solving things in PMs" is basically just one way to keep real change from ever happening. After all, how can anybody agree or voice their support with something if it has to be kept to one-to-one messaging?

If you cannot be open with your members you cannot ever grow and improve.

So do you think something like a sticky thread in Help/Suggestions/Bug Reports for discussing administrative policies "in the open" would be a better approach?
