Why was my thread locked?

The Mods around here do't do anything but abuse their own frakin' power. If I am being civil and trying to discuss something I feel is an issue with this community, why am I being silenced? I am breaking no rules but still this forum protects it's ''high ranking'' members and we who speak the truth are put to the side like garbage. Did I just come out and say I hate this place and everyone here? No. I didn't. But some people I guess get the special treatment and as soon as I try and call them out, my thread gets locked.

Not all the mods, but a select few here just are not very fair.

As a result to this debacle, we are going to be going out of our way to label the facebook page as unofficial, so that there is no misunderstanding in that regard. Aside from that, I don't see anything wrong with the facebook group. We only use "The Technodrome" to identify where the group of people come from. If there WAS an official technodrome facebook page that was moderated and such, I could see there being an issue with the unofficial one, but there isn't.

No. Because she's 15.

If you guys used it just to be friends, that's one thing. I know for a fact, though, that group is used to talk sh*t about the people you guys don't get along with.

Yes. It is. But anything could be used for that. I send msgs to members on MSN, Skype, or AOL instant messenger all the time talking **** about other people. Or private messages on here for that matter.

It's a group discussion to talk about whatever. Sometimes other members are a topic. Lots of times they aren't. You can't just quell freedom of speech (especially on the internet) simply because a certain topic may come up that other people don't like.

This.

Also most of the people who belong to that group are the veteran core members who new people should be comfortable getting help from and be able to get answers to questions from. Instead they act like elitist 12 year olds in a middle school clique.

Are you suggesting that some members are obligated to act a certain way simply because they have been around for awhile?

But, in the case of the group in question, it isn't 12 year old elitist jerks attacking the new people, the new people aren't there. It's the 12 year old elitist jerks, being elitist jerks to each other.

If it were an official group, or even an open group, and new people were showing up and were greeted with "Go **** Yourself, newb" I would agree with you. But that just isnt the case.

See, that's what I'm talking about. Offhand comments that anyone new is young or whatever. And yes, we should as veteran members be understanding of new fan's questions or the fact that they might not have read Mirage books or whatever. We should not jump down their throats if they post a new thread on a topic that has been covered in a thread that's been dead awhile. And we should be willing to answer questions nicely without being condescending or snobbish. A lot of that group does act that way.

I'm not a part of the group and reckon I would not be allowed to join. Just telling you how it looks to someone not in your group.

Another person who admires Chris Hansen's greatness. Fantastic!

Also, aren't there several "elitist" groups that are cliquish on this forum? You can't point out one with out the others coming into focus as well.

I though she said in the pic thread she was 18. Either way it was a joke.

I can assure you I'm not affiliated with any group you have in mind. Just an observer.

And yes, there are other elitist groups, but at least anything said by the other ones I know about are said directly and have consequence.

Fair point. But honestly, things like this are goofy.
