Or modify the posts/threads then leave a reason for doing it, sticky that and leave it up for a day, locked, so that everyone can see what happend with it. (this is what I was thinking of in the first place)

It saves the hassle of started another thread.

Well there has to be a way to notify at least the person who started the thread. I believe 1 of my threads was deleted (not trashed, but deleted) and I cant find it nor could i see a reason for it's deletion...

I'm totally agreeing with you, I've been deleted for many reasons I guess they felt justified on, all I'm saying is yes, you're solution would be nice, but unless you're down with KK, we've got to work with the mods, instead of bashing them(not talking about you by they way) to make things better!

It is already practice that when a thread is closed, a reason is stated in the thread.

I dont see this thread as bashing, it's just some members voicing their opinions as a group rather than 1 scared lil member having to face the mods alone.

But sometimes they (seem like they) don't know how the members react. We're merely trying to keep ourselves (and many others) from becoming unhappy. That's why I posted my resolution to it.
So you mean when we (assumingly) close threads out of nowhere, you are sad because we prevented you from pleasuring yourselves or as you guys like to call it, "whoring."

I was kidding. Maybe it's a bad time for that.

I didn't say anyone in particular is bashing them, but I have read posts before where people are bashing them. That's all I was sayin!

No, but more often than not, it takes more of everyone's time to open another thread rather than edit/lock the thread, give the reason for deletion, sticky it, and leave it up for 1 or 2 days then delete it.

Really, how much of a hassle is it to start a new thread? A few words here, click one button, done.

Nowfrom there, we come in and we leave our lasting words, and were done. It really isn't difficult. If you can put forth the effort to at least post up a new thread, then we'll give the same reception back.

Just seems like sometimes when a thread is closed, it disappears so no one (outside of mods) know what the reason was.

Just think of it this way... as long as the thread is not breaking any rules (be it resolved or not) just leave it open and let nature take it's course (let the ****** hijack it). Seems like the **** or the new alliance BANGED has to hijack all serious threads thrown to the mercy of OT.

Thats why you could either PM us and ask us, OR post up a new thread asking about it. Then we'll gladly answer.

That's protocol. Not always practice.

What about that last good point I raised?

Tanner. In a few of the slower forums, it might be possible to do this. But in some of the busier forums Evo General/ Lancer General, the front page of the forum would quickly be completely covered with stickied dead threads. On some days we edit/move/close/delete about 30% of the 75-100 new threads that appear on a busy day. That would make for a lot of stickies!


Again....if anyone feels they were wronged by the closing or editing of a thread, please feel free to pm whichever Moderator you feel most comfortable speaking with. We are here to help keep the site tidy. But we are also here to make sure the site members remain happy.
