STOP LOCKINNG THREADS IN THE DISCUSSION SECTION! IT'S FOR DISCUSSIONS - NOT FOR STARING AT. Thank ya.
Until we get a proper discussion archive This is the reason why they are locked and sit there. The team knows full well when to move threads and you should understand that you have not been on our staff team for a while now, things have certainly changed that you are unaware of. Thanks for the concern but us staff have a great understanding of what we must do.
Or how about you just stop locking them like the OP explicitly stated. ._> And please, stop with the whole "the team is new now" shenanigans. It makes you seem like you don't have a legitimate argument.
It is indeed a legitimate argument. How can you know what we do not share? Since you were on the team how many new staff have been hired? Have you been witness to the background decisions that have been made since you resigned? Finally do you know what has happened to influenced a moderators decisions. The op never said not to lock them specifically to us. I am highly certain the forum admin is yet to step in. Again, something else you do not know but have assumed. The use of the word shenanigans is quite misplaced. I am simply telling you something you should understand.
Now tell me your argument is not "mischievous" or "maneuvering." You don't address the issue specifically, but rather say that our opinion, no matter what we say, is irrelevant and only you are the correct supreme omniscient overlord. I knew how moderating worked for a long time, and I am aware of many issues plaguing the reports section as of late. It seems to be the same deal. but uhm, it kinda looks like you're the one assuming here.
My argument is not mischievous or manoeuvring. Its quite humorous you would suggest that. I am sure I addressed all of what you said. You were stating how saying the team is new argument is not a legitimate argument. Therefore I proceeded to address concerns that you have raised past and present. Maybe not in the best manner at directly stating that when the team has seen so many changes and a lot of new ideas from the time you were staff you can ultimately see your information you now have as the outsider is not updated. You only see the outside and make judgements based on what has happened, and not able to see the improvements. So this is why i use this argument specifically on ex staff. Now back to the current argument. You are entitled to your opinion as every member is, except when it clashes with the way that the staff team currently operates and when I know the reasoning behind our teams actions i will most certainly say something. Does not make me all knowing, it means I am more informed. I did not assume, I misunderstand the terminology: OP usually refers to Cyp, you must mean original poster in this case. My error as much as yours. As a current staff member I do work to moderate these forums and do inform people of the things I know for certain. If any changes are to be made they will come through from the admins and not from someone who thinks a thread in all caps and demanding will work to fix something that is not even broken. I stand by the reasoning. Threads in discussion will be locked if the poster wishes and not moved due to the reason I already gave.
The all caps rage was a joke. It's Sui, come on. Anyway, I'm out. I guess you win because I don't care to spend my life on this. Congrats.
I understand your point, just being a jackass Wouldnt the simple answer be to just make the archives effect post count, and delete the threads that shouldnt apply to post count? Sounds like a much easier system.
tl;dr with what happened with this thread, even tried replying to something that wasn't directed at me Inside decisions doesn't matter, I don't care what happens on the inside since it's none of my business, but please, don't make it sound like you're some secret organisation or something lmao. Literally all it takes is threads for discussions that have gotten out of hand to be passed over to an archive that doesn't take post counts away, there doesn't need to be a mention of what happens on the inside and how the staff team has new people etc. If I cared so much about the moderator team I'd reapply, keep doing what you're doing and moderate - just don't lock threads that are for discussions and then leave them in the discussion section like it's going to serve some purpose except piss people off because they can't add their two cents. I could pull a staff team trick and request for this thread to be locked because I don't like contrasting opinions, but I'm not that annoying. TL;DR: I don't care what happens behind the scenes, stop locking threads and leaving them in the open. Then shove it in the archives? I don't understand what the point is of keeping it in a section if nobody can discuss it.
*locks all threads in discussion section* Just kidding, but we really do need that discussion archive thingy >->
Makes it too easy for people to post inflammatory or controversial stuff and get away with it. If the thread is locked it'll naturally filter down to the bottom. Just takes time.
or it could be put in archives, I mean it makes the forums cleaner and means that it doesn't have to take like a decade to 'filter down'
