Mod mis-use of power?

[Dayvo]

Something is wrong!

Once a thread goes round in circles, no matter how entertaining for those taking actual part or on the peripheries it's not constructive for it to stay open.

So the 'Tea' thread and 'Post a lie ...' should be pulled too, in that case!?

Too many people want to play God here, methinks.

Iv been locked out of the pingmrpaul thread too??

 

[col]

Strange how mtpaul starts questiong me then it all happens eh?

 

[lukesdad]

It certainly wasn t going round in circles and it was getting amusing.

And you wondered why I thought of conspiracy, here is the proof I think

Obviously not for some non participants!

Chaps, calm theeselves...tis the season of goodwill.

Well I found it amusing for all the right reasons. A good example of others deciding what's good for us. What's Korean for Cyclechat?

Iv saved everything they said to me in pm, if anyone wants the file pm me your email, just to show whats caused all this bad behaviour from some

If a single mod (regardless of who it is) doesn't like a post, but hasn't personally contributed to it, does he/she have the right (on their SOLE judgement) and power to close a thread?

I, as a spectator, along with many others, contributing or not, 'seemed' to be enjoying the banter going 'both' ways.

This smacks too much of the baiting of AFS, with the same mods involved.

Has whoever is doing this got the courage to speak and tell us why?

It happens in schools everyday, a bunch of 'smartarse' bullies taunt someone until they react then it's the victim who gets the punishment.

I'm usually a laissez faire person but the arbitrary closing of a couple of threads one on the basis that it's a circular posting

Something is wrong!

I'm with you on this one Dayvo.

Let's see the Tea and Post a Lie thread closed too as they set the precedent for circular posting they should also close.

Doubt it! I sent a polite pm to the mod who pulled the 'bin' thread but am still awaiting a reply.

 

[vernon]

Should there be a poll on whether the Binmen thread be re-opened?

The thread closure has left a bad taste in my mouth.
