How many threads are locked daily by boards mods that shouldn't be locked?

Fighting Irish

In my opinion, if there are replies then the thread should live

You forgot to use caps and underline key words.;)

Random

Some threads just need to die.. then again, some threads should just be moved to AH and left run to their natural ending

I lock a fair few on AH. Often to save the OP from a slagging. Sometimes to save the users from a bad thread. However I would encourage you to PM a mod or report the post if you want a thread re-opened. We do try our best to help people out.
Moved to feedback so we can get a bit more opinion from users on this.

Please cite examples of thread you think should have been left open.

Huh.

I didnt think "threads that are locked daily by boards mods that shouldnt be locked" was a quantifiable amount.

/consults physics text-book

Oh, look at that!. It's a scalar. Hurrah.

Fajitas!

I think it's 7 threads a day.

5 on weekends, and three on a bank holiday.

Not sure if they get paid overtime for the BH though.

RoundyMooney

Down to five daily now, there's a recession on apparently.

The likes of Ruu and Gordon dicked it up for everybody with their ostentacious excess, now the rest of us have to live with the consequences :mad:

I heard they had to evict banlist.php due to lack of funds, and users are now expected to supply their own bits for posting (which isn't as painful as it sounds).

Are you sure you're not getting mixed up with the FAP forum, dude?

In my opinion Boards mods should never be locked while they're modding -it's irresponsible.

Fap forum?

Wtf?

Bloody internetz.

It's all Roundymooney's fault anyways.

Have you come to Feedback to complain about a particular thread that you think shouldn't have been closed?
If so, can you provide us with a link?

Otherwise, this thread is just going to go nowhere.

Thanks

A user with a Join Date of Nov 2002 getting all this noise ?
Poor guy. The answer I'd offer is : too many. I think generally some threads are locked so as to save the Mod the extra hassle of moderating if there's posts reported or it's a hot/contentious issue.

Beruthiel

Again, it is difficult to give any kind of valid feedback if you do not supply links to the threads you are talking about.

Red Sleeping Beauty

I havn't collated all the threads I've seen closed and that I wished had not have been closed. I appreciate that you need links and contexts and that we should debate or comment on closed threads as they're being closed but as a general question that the OP asked my answer is still that too many threads get closed across the site (excluding PI, Soccer and AH)

Will we be setting this ficticious number off against the number of threads not closed by mods which should have been?

We might get some valuable data if we divide the result by the circumferance of a moose.

I couldn't say about other moderators, but whenever I locked threads while locked, it was perfectly appropriate that I be locked.

I may have had a hard day, for example. Also, my doctor has told me that I need to drink more alcohol.

The airsoft forums increase the number of locked threads that don't need to be locked significantly. The moderators of it are ridiculous.
That forum only exists to protect the interest of those who are moderators of the forum. They slice out all of the threads that doesn't quite fit in to their idea of the grand scheme of things.

It's okay to start your own thread . The answer will still be 37

Who the fu(k locked my 'ireland losing its heritage' thread and why??

That was the single most amazing thread that this site has ever had!!! It was going to take boards.ie to the next level ie a maintained and constant state of orgasim.

A thread as sexually aware will not and connot exist again!
You have c0ckblocked every user of the internet.

I am disgusted.

edit: Sorry i see now that the racists had at my thread. apologies

I think if you've got valid points then you should bring them to a valid forum for reasoned level headed straight discussion

Can work, esp. in AH.

[ref. most threads started by Pighead]

You have to put a bit more effort into it though, Brendan.

Seriously lads, ye need to get your act together. Your bans are down 36% versus last week despite user posting showing a 13% increase and user oppression rates are at the lowest they've ever been. It's ridiculous! The admins will go bat shít crazy when they see this. SORT IT!!!

Sorry sir, I'll get right on it, just please don't bring this up at the next round-table mod meeting, the AH mods will never let us hear the end of it!

We should be ok now. I banned a load of users there, I used the good old "If you don't know what you did wrong then you have no place being in the forum any more so I'll just make the ban permanent" for the ban reason. Most will be too afraid to complain and the ones that do complain will earn a nice permanent ban and we get a big bonus.
