    My recommend me a movie thread was locked for some unknown reason. The worst thing is I don't even know which moderator it was. Why the hell are they such a bunch of killjoys. I wanted movie recommendations and they were coming in nicely and then it just gets closed. No explanation. Bunch of farts. It's the AH forum. Let yourself goooooo. I expect another ban now. Keyboard warriors etc etc

    Probably because you should have asked in the movie forum.

    BTW, just ask whatever mod is on at the time as to why it was locked. But wait about five minutes first, most time they'll give a reason in the locked thread. :)

    The films forum could have been used but there a lot more freaks in here so I thought I would get a better variety.

    I actually didn't look in the arts section. My point still stands though.

    Meh, you don't question mod actions on the forum. You're meant to PM them.

    The mod could not have been more helpful, abusing power you say?

    And after hours is not where you dump threads if you are unsure where they go
    That's helpdesk

    Me too. I've never contested one before. Getting a ban in boards is like going to Thailand and getting horsed into prison when you have no money. You're f*cked in both circumstances...no matter what you did.

    Dude the mod of the original thread pointed you in the direction of the forum you are looking for for your discussion.
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=71406860#post71406860
    A lock of the thread cos it was in the wrong place and a pointing in the direction of the right forum.
    For you. Special.
    It might shock you to know you're not the first poster to ask for a movie recommendation but you're not.
    And generally these discussions which recommend films for people to watch are entertained best in the film forum.
    No mod conspiracy. No craziness. Just somebody helpfully pointing out the place to research your topic.
    If you have any more questions PM one of the AH Mods. If you start another thread about this you will be banned.

    Hi lecker,

    That was me, and it took a bit of time to link to the Film forum for you, and to also leave you a link to the thread I thought would be most helpful.

    I'd appreciate it if you kept in mind the time I put in to not only direct you to the correct forum for your thread, but I also went to the trouble of finding the thread in the Film forum, that would be most helpful to you, and linking to it.

    I am sorry if you think I'm a killjoy for pointing you in the right direction.
