The G Man Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 First off, this site has been a revelation in as much as there isn't a lot of locking/banning/mis matched merging of posts, much less than other clubs/forums I've been a member of, so well done. What I find hard to accept is a moderator/admin/committee member locking a topic and then a moderator/admin/committee memberS continuing to post on it. The said topic, viewtopic.php?f=70&t=42912&start=15, was locked, as far as I can make out, because a similar thread was already started on the topic content. My personal opinion is that once a topic is locked, it stays locked, unless it is reopened to all members after, say, a clarification on a technical/legal/over abusive poster is resolved, not for further chit chat by those that have a moderator/admin/committee panel. Bad form, my opinion and posted here as feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 its a past topic about someone who was a member here, she has a screw loose no doubt and we all told her as much. it went on and on until it got locked and she asked to be removed from the forum. she asked to be removed from the forum. Its all a bit of banter and basically they don't want me and biscuit posting in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 +2 you are right, this is a very very rare case in more ways than one though and is certainly not a regular occurrence. the banter can always be done via pm for those who keep posting me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 George - I'll tell you the history behind this next time I see you Suffice to say if it hadn't been locked it would've degenerated into complete bedlam But - your point is completely valid and I've been pleading with the team via PM for the last 24hrs to allow us all to play I think they're just having far too much fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Most know the teams view on In Before The Lock. If you don't then basically none of us like it. Please don't use them as it makes your case for opening a locked thread invalid. You'll spoil your own playtime..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the mods can play but not us mere peasants.... fair enough I get told to 'do as I say not as I do' enough at work TBH It was meant ironically, in before you lock the lock.... sorry if that was not clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Just have to remember Dave that when you have been doing for this for some time some issues bounce back time and time again. Having sorted them one post can bring it all back again. On this post i can see where you are coming from though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 dave your not helping to spur this issue on really are you, it will end up a 1 horse race and the mods will be the winners, no photo finish here, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
