Annoying.

So, I think that it is understandable that he is being questioned about his actions, despite the fact that nothing can be proved.
Next time, just look at the reply button at the bottom, and look for the words "locked".

I thought we got past all of this earlier today?
You failed to see my point. You cannot reply to a locked thread if it is locked before you try to reply (still bloody annoying because so many of the threads were locked - at least one a day that I would liked to have replied to were locked). These threads I noticed through your advice.

What I was refering to was when a thread had just started and I was typing a reply to it, and during the time I was doing so you came in and locked it.

So, when I finally did hit the reply button (which would not have been greyed out) I would be informed that said thread was locked.

Fine if it happened once or twice, but the frequency that I recall this happening was alarming, to say the least.

The other point was in the last paragraph of my post. I want an admin who I can trust to make objective decisions that won't result in the deletion of my account on a whim. I would also like to be warned privately and publicly before being banned.

As far as I can see, neiter happened with Tripper, Simo or Judas (definitely not the public warning - the least someone could ask for before they are banned is a final warning where everyone can see it).

Whilst I am sure you spent a lot of time helping people out in your time as mod through advice I did not agree with the way you controlled the forums.

As I said many times before, a good mod is one you hardly notice is there (in the context as mod).

All opinion. My opinion. I just wonder how much it is mirrored here.[/quote:f80ac]

Do you fail to see a reason why they should not have been locked? At least 1/2 of the frontpage threads of Offtopic would have been locked already, do you not see why?
