Anyone think that mods can be a bit lock-happy?

Why not just have a members only "flame section" where people can voice their problems, the accused can defend themselves, outsiders can read and formulate their own opinions, and everyone can argue in the thread, in its own sub-section, until they get tired of it? Why does there have to be any sort of arbitration? I am sure this has been discussed but I'd be interested to hear some opinions."

This is what I was going to suggest. And if we were to follow some sense of form, make all posts uniform. IE:

Name of HoS nominee

Desctiption of HoS conduct

Link to transaction

If we were consistent with our posts, it would still be a useful tool for people to quickly scroll through to find names of HoS individuals. If it were stickied, noone would need to be in charge of maintaining it. If you are questionable about someone, type their name into the search forum tab, and see it their name shows up in the thread.

People simply can't help themselves from posting useless nonsense even if they have nothing to do with the issue at hand. The back and forth gets personal and out of control. Plus just because someone decides to throw your name out doesn't mean you actually belong in the HOS.

The hall of shame will be back soon, with the appropriate people and controls in place.

The MODs will get right on this...

As a moderator, I disagree, if the topic is locked, why keep it going in a seperate forum? I think it is more about keeping a topic in line and letting it run it's course more than anything. No need to let it sit in it's own category. While I feel this was locked way too soon, I don't think it would help matters having an open flame session after the fact. Mods are here for a reason, You or I may not agree but they serve a purpose.

Nah, not really. I mean, for average topics that need locked no, at least. Although I hate when people put LOCK TOPIC in a title, that's the whole idea of leading a forum of information, that you want to know what it would be about, I wish it was changed back to the title before the edit to be locked or something. Sure they may be locked for a reason, but it's sometimes because of another thread found that had the information that they need, and if you search and it's hard to find the topic, then you'll also find the locked topics that actually have a title that has a link inside you could use to find what you need also. Something you wouldn't click if the title just said LOCK TOPIC.

As for locking other topics, I don't really care.

Pretty cool Mark's stepping up to bat on this. As for the Mods, I think they do just fine. If it weren't for them, we all be packin our irons within city limits. I haven't really seen anything locked, that couldn't have been handled privately off stage to be honest. When my shit gets locked, I'm sure my view will change....fuckin pricks.
