Hi, is there a chance that daoc mods could please get a review of what counts as being helpful/necessary, and what counts as totally butchering a forum please? Ziva has always been a bit silly but over the last few weeks sharma for one seems to be locking threads for fun and Jupitus(?) appears to really dislike most people and is punishing them for something.(Exc RvR discussions)
I agree that sometimes topics which are about something completely different should be locked, but there is a certain community of people that post on the RvR discussions on exc and most of the recently locked threads i feel shouldnt have been, as there were discussions and so on. One of the problems with locking loads mean that even the slightest chance that something will get locked means that idiots post thinsg like IBTL and so on, which automatically means a thread would be locked.
Totally apart from the current mods, how about getting mods for each forum that are part of each community, and know the 'feel' of the forum? Some threads are made for a joke yes, but who really cares for post count? If its obvious spam topic of course it should be locked but i wish the mods sometimes had more of a sense of humour/decency for others. I don't wish to be called a mod-basher or anything but i think mods should not rule a forum, just trim here and there instead.
thanks
