Groan thread closed..Why?

[ovrszd]

Also worthy of mention is all of the above by mistake... how many have reported a thread not meaning to or as a mod pressed the wrong key by accident?

I've never reported a post here and never will.

They are not mutually exclusive.

OK... Whose the warden? And why aren't the rules enforced EQUALLY?

The warden is the owner of the forum.

Sometimes the guards leverage their power for personal reasons. Thus, the inequality of treatment.

It was one of the few threads I enjoyed here, besides some of the more technical ones. Too bad.

I was a moderator for many years on a very large international forum, mostly technical subjects. The owner was not involved in any moderation. All important decisions were discussed by the team. We only closed a thread that clearly was attracting the trolls. The fact is that teams can be dysfunctional or not allowed to be a team by the owner. Don't know what the case is here, as I haven't been very regular but the fact is, someone else has the power, full stop. I'm fairly surprised they allow threads like this where people complain about moderation.


There's a forum where new ownership has botched a lot of things. The moderators were/are great though. The new owners thought, not so much. They swept the internet and bought a large number of forums, and made them all use the same software. A lot of people didn't like the changes, many were not for the better. People complained in vain. So what do you do? Roll your own.

Hahahaha! Well, some threads become too long and can have a negative effect on the site so it's customary to close it and continue in a new thread. If that happened here then... groan!
