Title: Please don't lock threads without telling us why
Post by: Tank-Ace on April 22, 2014, 11:07:35 PM
As we are not mind readers. We don't know what specifically caused you to lock them, and that knowledge is important. Without it, we might inadvertently repeat the same mistakes.

Read the rest of the posts and the obvious trends and it should tell you all you need to know...

All I see is a lot of agreement, and one dissenter, who is a borderline troll. No contention, no argument, no politics or religion, or personal attacks, flaming, trolling, nothing.

All on the same topic.

I concur

2- Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics.

3- Do not open a new thread that duplicates a current topic.

I think it was a little bit of #2 as well :)

Agreed. In fact HTC is unusually lenient as far as thread moderation goes compared to other game forums.

I doubt very many really ever had a thread locked and not known why.  If they really didn't, they need to be disarmed of all devices connected to the internet  :D

Skuzzy did state: multiple threads same topic (paraphrased.) It's a rule.

Not that hard to figure out.

i see one thread was locked because they are sarcastically beating a dead horse without giving a relevant wish.  :bolt:

Thats why the subsuquent threads have been locked, yes, but that doesn't state why the initial thread was locked.

it would help if you perhaps point to which thread you think was the initial one since there's about 10 or 20 every month.

would help if you could type in the correct address for your PMs. Cheating accousations are expressly forbidden, you know  ;)

those PMs youre sending to certain people (not the mods), hoping that they might stab me in the back.
Its not ethical to post them back on the BBS, nor is to send this kind of stuff to one's squaddies.

Oh, there most certainly are.  Same rules apply to PM's as to postings, only a violation in a PM is treated much harsher.

Now I'm confused....

PM here in the forum or PM in the game??

Are we supposed to report naughty PM's? I always figured private was personal speech. Some players hate what my gunsights do for me in the game. I'd rather they just get a copy and shoot back. They are free.

The board uses the same posting rules for PM's or posts.

In the game, it is up to the person receiving the PM if they want to .report it or not.  That said, if someone goes out of their way to be abusive in a game PM, they usually will lose their privs for whatever the arena setting is (usually 8 days +/- a few hours).
