+DamOTclese Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Okay, that's the last time; it's pointless to remain here. It seems the "moderators" of this forum are rude control freaks. If they don't like a subject they shut it down. Bye! Link to comment
+yumitori Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Fortunately it's apparently not rude to call people control freaks just because you disagree with them... Hmmm. Looking for the thread you are upset about, it appears the moderator didn't shut it down because he didn't like it. He shut it down because you didn't bother to post to the exiting thread on the subject and started a new one instead. Is that a little more clear than the perfectly clear reason given by the moderator? Link to comment
+Mopar Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 (edited) Wow, a 2 for one day! I didn't see a recent topic you started get closed down because they didn't like it. I did see one get closed down because there are already 4 other ones pointing to the same article yours did. Gets pretty confusing with 4 different threads discussing the exact same thing, so they try and keep it to just one. You seem to be the rude one here. Edited May 27, 2004 by Mopar Link to comment

If they don't like a subject they shut it down. Bye! http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...ndpost&p=924391 Actually your topic was closed because it was the fourth time the same article was posted (as has been noted and linked). The other ones were closed too. A link was even given to the original topic when your topic was closed. I'm sorry, but all of that was well within the guidelines for posting in the forums. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?act=boardrules Multiple discussions on the same subject are not productive for anyone. Please read them if you decide to come back. You may want to look down the page a few topics to see if your idea has been posted already as well. Link to comment

It's better to have a nice heated debate in one thread where everyone participates than the split up some great posts over several threads. Having said that if you waited a week or two and brought it up again often a new angle erupts and the topic can stand on it's own. Edited May 27, 2004 by Renegade Knight Link to comment

Keystone Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 I posted my own personal opinion in the thread that I linked to when closing the duplicate threads. I said that the subject matter is "VERY interesting." So explain to me again how I am closing topics because I don't like them? Link to comment

+Phone guy Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Maybe you (DamOTclese) should go geocaching. A member for over a year with 17 finds. Not a serious cacher so you probubly dont understand the topics. Maybe if you paid the $30 for premium membership you wouldn't be so upset. I agree with you then, get off the forums and go caching. You'll have alot more fun. Link to comment

+houseofcache Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Being new and all, I wasn't going to say anything, but since I appeared to start this mess... I've found that when you start posting on a messageboard, blog, usenet - whatever - its a good idea to run a quick search on the subject or its key words. You may find its already a running thread.

Suggesting that a person's opinions are less valuable because of their find count or their post count: not fine. Let me quote from the same forum conduct guideline that has now been violated twice in this topic: Respect: Respect the guidelines for forum usage, and site usage. Respect Groundspeak, its employees, volunteers, yourself, fellow community members, and guests on these boards. Whether a community member has one post or 5,000 posts, they deserve the same respect.

+Renegade Knight Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 (edited) Okay, that's the last time; it's pointless to remain here. It seems the "moderators" of this forum are rude control freaks. If they don't like a subject they shut it down. Bye! Ok we have feelings of pointlessness which if they were expressed about the guidelines and getting caches approved would be good for two points. But since it's forums only and we all know that 99.9% of what is said is either pointless or going nowhere even if it was a good point, it’s only 1 point. Next we have a classic use of the parentheses making light of the mods. This is always a "classic" touch. I'm kicking in two points for that. Without the "" I'd add none here. Next is the rude control freak. Now rude at times is a given, they do take a pot shot every now and then but they are only human. Control freaks gets them slapped by "TPTB" besides the restraint shown is greatly improved from the days of the original forum wars. Combined I'm only adding one point. Now we have the shut it down comment. Alas this isn't true by any stretch and a quick look would show that. Minus one point. At least rude control freaks is subjective and you can split the hair either way at times. Last we have a perky Bye. This I just like. For being perky on the way out, for having the balls to do a smiley instead of a gut wrenching emoticon of some other type. Hell it makes the forum suicide. Without it, this post wouldn't of gotten half the attention. Because I like it that's 3 points. Total 6 points. But if I had to convert it to a 10 point scale 4.5.
