I think he's locking too many topics. Put him back where you found him.

Hey, the topics I locked were openly flammable. Post decent topics and they won't be locked. Simple concept.
Here are the rules.

Maybe if some people didn't find every opportunity to let a debate degenerate into a catfight we wouldn't have so many locked topics.
Maybe if some people didn't try to turn an old, returning member's topic into a festivale of snide comments we wouldn't have so many locked topics.
Maybe if some people didn't post topics about things like how they have given up on a certain religion ("officially", no less), or ask people's ideas of sex change operations we wouldn't have so many locked topics.
Get the picture?
On the other hand, I do have to hand it to some of the newer members like Menno as well as some older members who have apparently toned things down a bit. Now, if we could just have some consistancy...

A lot of those things there are the reason half of us came to DAC, but since the Wasteland got closed down it's moved over to Gen. Discussion. How much Fallout discussion gets done here? Maybe a bit in the Fallout forums, it isn't even allowed in the other one's right? The reason I, and a bunch of other people, loved this place is because we could be as insane and unmoderated as we wanted, without having to worry about threads being locked or banning.
What do you expect us to do? Just drop these old habits completely because you say "we don't like that."?

JJ86, you're deleting/locking too much stuff. You're taking your position as a mod too seriously; not every off topic thing or insult needs to get baleeted, you know.
God forbid they should cause another, separate discussion or something!

suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

We are currently in a time of transition finding the balance between General Discussion & Wasteland type topics. Much of what was posted there is appropriate for GD & much is not. I don't believe there is a problem with topics on Sex Change etc, the problem lies in the reaction & taking every possibility to insult or have a go at each other. There is nothing wrong with an occasional snide comment but when it is the sole aim of the poster it can prove problematic & as long as that continues I expect that you will see a few more locks than you'd like. On the other hand it is not necessary to lock everything that proves the slightest bit questionable. Give JJ a chance to settle in folks, he has my support & might be a bit quick on the draw but he seems to be doing a good job to me.

That is so true... To some people it seems that the whole point of posting, the higher cause, is to feed insults at an unstoppable rate. No matter what the discussion is about, as long as they get their daily dose of "U l00kZ LiEk TÃ¥uBGerLL".
But still, just don't be so quick to lock those topics JJ. We've known for years now and you've always seemed like a fair man. Don't let your trigger-finger get too itchy...

I've stopped giving a fuck
I used to be against the dictator-like iron-fist approach mods always seemed to take, but fuck-it... the only person I think that really took my opinion on board was lark - who continues to be a shining beacon of hope around this grimey adolescent place.
These days, I don't really get too much time to check in - I try to when I can though, 'cos I sorta helped build this place up... but now I realise after dropping in now and again that my "Hey guys, let's be friends and play it cool!" attitude just doesn't fucking work. Everyone's too busy stil spehling liek fukwits and playing up to their bad-ass "I've been here for ages and my arrogant opinion is law - back me up fellas!" attitudes - so I DON'T CARE ANYMORE
JJ - they may cry like babies when you tweak their nipples sharply, they may whinge like hard-done-by pussies when you lock their thread bitching about wankers that like .33 calibre over .45 - they may call upon their populist fan-club union to give you grief when you delete their post about singing communist monkey-vaginas, they might scream CENSORSHIP!!!!1 when you tell them to shut the fuck up with the flaming of newbies... but mate, go nuts. The soft handed approach doesn't work - if half the population fucks off to some other forum where they can give shit to other ethnic cultures / homosexuals / velcro lovers... then YAY.
We don't make any cash from this site - I've been running it since before it was at Gamespy... I don't CARE if our userbase drops 80% - if it means that people will actually treat eachother reasonably, and not act like dumbarse girlfriend-less 16-year-olds with raging hard-ons wielding handguns, then I'm all for it.
Shut-down those fuckwits. Be Robocop.
But in a nice way, of course
