Unless you are implying that you want this implemented on the server, it is resolved.
At least BR told you why the thread was locked and didn’t do a forum ninja.

Clearly, if you had read the above comments in that thread, it was stated to him that scoped sniper does not do 1 shot 1 kill therefore not being implemented and therefore declined as a suggestion for the moment and then topic locked as it doesn’t require a further discussion.

Oh ok, clearly I thought we were on a forums, and therefore discussion about his suggestion as well as possible improvements and related ideas might be welcome. Thanks to you there are only like 3 threads that are actually open for people to post in. Jesting aside, can I ask you why you’ve been feeling compelled to lock every thread lately? Is it because you are uninformed as to the reason forums exist, or are you enjoying being an authority figure? Not trying to offend you with this post, im just genuinely trying to work out the logic behind your actions.

Ok.. if you hadn’t noticed he IS NOT BANNED from the FORUMS OR SERVER! Therefore there is really no issue then and Frogma, due to creating yet 2 threads of which were locked by a moderator, and restarting them once again, for no reason, next offence and you will be banned from the forums.

Excuse me? I see a thread where an OZ admin has explicitly stated that cake is banned so I try to reply to ask why? Oh wait some genius has locked the thread. I’ll have to make a new thread to ask a simple question? Oh he’s not banned? That’s good to know. Why am I now in trouble?

To answer you question frogma, I am quite fed up with people creating topics about the same thing of which has been locked. The reason clearly stated in buckets post was to be checked whether he was. He also stated that it was to stay locked until an admin had approved it, creating another thread which could have been accomplished by perhaps pming a member instead of asking a question unrelated to yourself in the forums.

Authority figure? My only intention is to keep peace on these forums, although it seems inevitable with the large percentage of forum trolls through here.. I ALWAYS state reasons for locking my topics, so if a topic is locked and you would like it opened again or such then please just pm me. I only lock topics for a few reasons, they are getting off topic and therefore becoming abusive, Or if its such as a complaint thread then once the OP (original poster) has had his issue resolved, I lock it to prevent anyone else Hijacking the thread.

Your exaggeration to me locking and only leaving 3 topics open currently, perhaps try to fill the forums with something other then the nitpicking of other members on here, it would be good to see for a change your input into something constructive more often then your infamous trolling. What really got me is that you find any topic where trouble starts out and fuel it or add your piece to it even if it will not help the situation or add to it at all, but purely for the reason to nitpick at someone. Although on threads such as the mortified one, I saw no input from you.. and some other regular trollers, if you plan to use the forums.

I would like the forums to consist of more information and constructive thoughts rather then mindless unhelpful trolling.

I hope you see where I’m coming from at my perspective instead of finding me wanting to overrule these forums with my annoyance of locking topics.

Kind Regards, BR

No doubt. If it’s anything like the annoyance I feel when having to create a new topic for one that has been locked then yes, I feel your pain.

To quote bucket: “you are well aware of the reason for your ban”. That to me sounds like bucket is pretty confident Cake is banned. The topic was locked at the time so I had to make a new one to ask my question. Yes, perhaps I could have messaged an admin instead but I’ve also been trying to subtly (and not so subtly) drop hints about the topic locking problem.

I know you have good intentions, I just don’t think locking every topic on the forums is a good habit to get into as it kills any potential for interesting discussion. And the reasons you give for locking them are usually irrelevant i.e. the “issue has been resolved” when there was a discussion going on about the pros and cons of the 1 hit kill sniper thing.

I would like the forums to consist of more information and constructive thoughts rather then mindless unhelpful trolling.

I would think that most of my posts offer constructive thoughts even if you do disagree with them. Infact I would say I probably offer more constructive feedback than most on these forums. Case in point: stop locking threads. Just because you don’t agree with my constructive criticism doesn’t make it un-constructive.

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4462&p=47027#p47027

For example. I don’t find that constructive and I truly doubt you do either.. hope that linked the right post.

There is nothing more I would like then interesting conversation to spark.. but posts like this one for example.. there is no reason to allow them to continue its against the rules of the forum and none of that criticism, sarcasm and narcissism is helping in any form.

hahaha, that was clearly a joke – it was set up waaaay too good to let that opportunity slip.

I’m pretty sure if you went through anyones post history you would find similar harmless jokes. I didn’t claim that everything I ever wrote has been “constructive”, i do enjoy a laugh now and then. Is that not allowed?

Have I ever said it wasn’t.. but it just seems to happen so often.. at others peoples expense. Now that I look at it criticism of any form.. I guess i just don’t see you every give a non critical/sarcastic post.. except once on the shout box when you elected cake to be president 😆

The other thing too with this thread that you created was simply for the sake of it.
You honestly didn’t care about the 1 shot kill sniper suggestion and probably just got mad you didn’t get some random debate on it.
Again I ask, do you actually want the one shot kill sniper implemented on the server or were you just doing it out of jest?
There are lots of topics open now that can be used for puns and subtle debates, go and get in on the death vs butz headphone debate for some lols.
Posting a thread pertaining to a locked thread is just bad manners and severely pisses off the person that locked it in the first place. Unless a topic was forum ninja’d into a lock or delete, the stated reason should be good enough for you and if it isn’t go and PM the locker about it.
We like discussion and lol debates as much as the next person, we don’t like people opening locked topics as it comes across as spiteful and will now probably just get the poster in some trouble for the annoyance 😆

*TOPIC LOCKED*

Cheers

Na just kidding

I thought it was pretty obvious from my OP that this thread is about the thread locking problem. I did not make this thread “simply for the sake of it.”

As I mentioned earlier, I feel that locking threads “simply for the sake of it” is “bad manners and severely pisses off” anyone who had something to contribute and now lacks the ability to post. In the sniper thread, sure I personally may not have had anything insighful to add, but I sure like reading posts from someone who does. Unfortunately by locking the thread there is no longer any chance for someone to come along and give an interesting viewpoint. Seriously, if you think the discussion is over, fine. Stop reading. Close your browser. What you shouldn’t do is cock-block everyone on the forums who may or may not have had something to add, and then get b!tchy if someone continues the discussion. I honestly can’t see why you are arguing with me about your habit of killing threads.

There isn’t a simply for the sake of it. Topics get locked when things are sorted. All that would have come from that topic is exactly zero new input. One shot kill sniper is really a yes or no answer. You argue yes or no and that’s it, not really many interesting viewpoints to be had there and really what were the odds of someone having one to put in and being disappointed it got locked? The thing is frog, we need to monitor threads to make this place a friendlyish place for people to be in. That means we are forced to read every thread and post if we are a moderator to make sure it all goes down smoothly. Yes, I have had to read every single nonsensical death post about many different topics and had to check the correlation between butz responses to make sure everything is all good in the hood and it doesn’t resort to flames. So no, we can’t simply close the browser and forget about it because if someone complains we get more QQ. It’s kind of like if a hacker came on the server and you QQd to me about it, can I simply say, nah I’m sick of kicking people today, try again tomorrow? I’m sure that would go down well.
We let a lot of things slide around here and I think are pretty tolerant to most things, heck look at how many topics end up completely random to what it was started out as. We could be all nazi and lock everything as soon as it goes off topic but we don’t, we are lazy and also generally like a good lol too. As I said though, if things are locked there is a reason and I guess you are meant to just respect it whether you agree or not. The cake one for example was to be reviewd by an admin so you just have to leave it at that or you can PM the locker as has been said. There really is no need to create topics like this since that PM would solve all your issues.

Cheers

OMG don’t give him ideas!!! frog will just train wreck the epic debate 🙁

Oh come on, there’s no flames……. maybe a few sparks now and then but the kindlings yet to ignite 🙂

That’s my point, nothing is out of order and hence it is all good in the hood. It’s only when things get out of hand that we need to do things so generally when we do actually do something, there is a good reason for it and it pisses us off when some twat goes and posts another topic on it 😛
