Why was my thread locked? - Page 2

*mysterycolor* · 05-09-2012, 08:28 PM

the thread was locked because it was looking like it would cause controversy...come on dude, a list of names and why you dislike said person is a pretty big red flag. it wasnt about who was on the list, as if they were "top shelf" members or something... just let it lie... as George Carlin always said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar- but sometimes it's a big brown d*^%... this incident was a cigar- don't make this a big brown d*^%

Yeah, it was the way your post was worded and your attitude within the post that set the mods off. Kudos to them for locking it.

You made a thread purely for the intent of starting trouble. What made you think everyone would be "on your side" with torches and pitchforks with comments like that? The lock was intended to avoid an obvious flame war.

If you have a problem with someone, come talk to us and don't be a guy on a soapbox. We'll handle it.

Dude, the general consensus seems to be that you were in the wrong. Do you not see a pattern in the tone of replies you are getting in this thread?

Now, I didn't. I was called out for being a douch first on their little facebook group. Then when I turn around and call them on the stuff that they do, It's the end of the world. I know that none of them will agree, so I guess I will just leave it at that.

*Redeemer* · 05-09-2012, 08:33 PM

I was trying to comment on that thread as it got closed

I didn't get to post though

Grimlock I think your thread go locked mostly bc people were not being objective or civil

But Grimlock I agree with your original thread, I think longer standing members make new members feel like outsides.... I don't think most of them do it purposefully though..... Older member have developed certain relationships with certain members and actually enjoy communicating with those members....

But I also agree with what Powder said about some new members exploiting the buy/sell thread and not actually want to be apart of the community......

I am sorry that new members feel like outsiders.....but I think we all need to be considerate of everyone on here

Wow....you miss a lot when you leave for dinner.

You can shorten my name any way you like haha.

As for the thread

Dude if you wouldnt have called people out by name it might not have got locked.

*BubblyShell22* · 05-09-2012, 08:35 PM

So what? It's the Internet. Not everyone's going to be nice. Just ignore them. Posting a thread that's off topic and calls out certain members is really childish and immature. You said in the thread that we were adults who act like babies, yet you're the one being the baby by starting a childish thread. Hypocrite much?

the main difference there is that technodrome rules do not apply on facebook- so saying that you did xyz here in response to something that happened outside of the technodrome is not equal.

The facebook page is not an official extension of this site. It is completely unofficial. Shredder and Krang have nothing to do with it. So to take something from the facebook page (which is pretty much jam packed full of the people you hate) and bring it back here to make a stink about it... was probably the wrong call.

*The Stryker* · 05-09-2012, 08:45 PM

Grimlock is cool as far as I'm concerned. Saying true things isn't dickish from where I stand. The 'casuals' garbage is obnoxious and sad.

Also his opinions on Gobo and Jester are respectable.

Yeah, the Facebook thing is f*cked up.
