i dont really know.it could be the topics are more heated now but i always note that your the one who always threatens the locking.whether you do it or not i dont know.
again not trying to rub you up the wrong way just stating that theres been alot more threads lately or threathened to be

seannash · 01-03-2009 2:17am

the last one you locked up was because the thread went off the topic of the original post.
but thats all part and parcel,most threads veer off on some tangent

DamagedTrax · 01-03-2009 2:18am

erm, aint that the job of a mod? to try to keep the peace to a certain extent (amongst other things)

i mod on a uk techno forum and we use the thread lock a lot to let things cool down.. better than threatning people with bans int it?

Indeed.

If threads are just waffling on in a repetitive fashion Off Topic, the simplest thing to do is lock, especially if hackles are being raised unnecessarily.

You'll know well from my own posts I'm well up for full and frank sharing of views.

If anyone feels they have points to make further on a locked thread they can, of course, start another thread.

If the Forum turns into a Shouting Match like I hear some others have (Soccer I believe is one) then it won't be an inviting place for Newbies or anyone who might be put off posting for fear of the response.

We are , after all adults ...... aren't we?

Tbh, no. If people aren't being civil, and are attacking the poster, not the post, then it's more appropriate to warn and then ban them if they carry on than it is to lock the thread and stop what could be a useful or interesting conversation for other users. But this is off topic, maybe it could be split into a different thread?

okay i just went back 3 pages and theres 2 thread locked and this one threathened to be locked is three.not astronomical ill admit but it seems like people are being overly cautious.theres no need to threaten this thread with a locking,nothing untoward is going on.were being pretty civil.
i know what a mods job is but like i said were all adults and we dont need to have threads threathened to be locked coz someone gets there feelings hurt.
i dont think theres anyone on here who attacks anyone.

I think your lack of exposure to the the way modding is generally conducted on boards is showing a little here Paul. If people don't get warned and banned, what's the incentive for them to treat others with respect or civility when things get heated? The thread gets locked? So what. Doesn't affect them directly, and they never get held accountable for their behaviour.

There are only very general guidelines for Modding, not fixed rules.

No one has overstepped the mark in my opinion. If that ever happens here you can be sure Banning will result. Be VERY sure.

I personally think that, as I've seen on the Private Mod Forum, some guys just get banned first sign of trouble. I'd rather leave people on to make their points, once within the charter. Opposing views are very necessary to keep things cooking.

My own view is that if any locked thread had any legs left in it the subject would resurface.
The recent 2 locked had, in my opinion, just turned to nonsense and people were getting unnecessarily annoyed. Also I've warned everyone beforehand what would happen.

The extent of my Modding has been miniscule.

3 threads have been locked in total as far as I recall and no banning.

That's the way it will be. Anyone is, of course, welcome to make any complaints via Feedback.

Phil actually Rocks ...

SRat has done a lot of stuff with him -

Did you know ...

Phil is the only European to write a song for Elvis?

Phil wrote 'Puppet on String' for Sandy Shaw, and 'Congratulations' for Cliff Richard in the Eurovision

He wrote and produced the Bay City Rollers

He wrote 'Scorn not his simplicity' about his son and sung by Luke Kelly of the Dubliners

Phil is a mighty successful Dude.

I'm not suggesting you ban at the first sign of trouble, I'm saying that threatening to ban people comes before threatening to lock a thread when people are starting to get personal. Minimal modding can be as bad as being heavy handed. Do you really think it makes more sense to threaten to lock a thread if a couple of participants start getting personal? Can you not see the negative affect for other users, and the message that sends, to threaten to lock the thread instead of addressing the posters involved with ban warnings?

fitz · 01-03-2009 3:08am

Didn't Coulter write Ireland's Call too? (topically, given the sporting day that's in it...)

If there was a molecule of worth in any of those threads I'd have let them run.

That is my opinion, you're very welcome to disagree.

If you have anything further to comment on my modding start a thread on Feedback.

fitz · 01-03-2009 3:21am

You've ignored the point a bit Paul. I've no issue with the threads in question being locked, they'd run their course. I do have an issue with threatening to lock the thread being your first option in terms of modding. I'll duck out of this now cause it's way OT, if you want to discuss it further on Feedback that's fine.

even if it does deterierate into a thread with no relevence to the original topic theres no need to lock it.espcially if noone has done any harm.threads run out of steam,no need to loc them

Co-wrote with Bill Martin I think who is a mate of my Mum's!

I've spent the w/e minding the kids while my wife worked. I believe that makes me a domestic engineer.

Mr. Coulter is actually a very good producer. He can put a seriously big project together in a relatively short abount of time. He usually works flat out 14 hours a day for about 4 or 5 weeks, horse of a man!

Donal Lunny is also a really excellent prod. IMO. Engineers I'd say Brian Masterson, Tim Martin, Phil Begley and Ciaran Byrne are all really top class. Jimmy Eadie's also up there with those dudes. And of course Me;)

Of course people who drive trains are called engineers. Casey Jones was an railwayengineer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Jones Ergo I am a sound engineer.

Of course he had a dog Cinders. Maybe to be a real engineer you need a dog and a sidekick.

PaulBrewer · 02-03-2009 4:05pm

There aren't very many suggestions really are there?
