Winge time.... - Saxperience

This'll probably get moaned about but nevermind...

I've noticed that there seems (in my opinion) a lot of threads being unnecessarily locked. Now i appreciate the fact there a some new minimods which i feel this site has been crying out for for a while, especially as certain members (leckie and Jaybiss for example) are on regularly when mods perhaps are unable to monitor the forum such as during the working day.
On the otherhand there have been many threads recently that have quite rightly been locked before things got stupidly out of hand, which is cool

I mean this in the nicest possible way but maybe some minimods/mods are getting a bit of maybe 'itchy fingers' and are all too keen to lay down some power

just an observation that's all

this'll probs get locked an all...

well they got locked so I couldnt complain in them.

no honestly its not a massive winge or anything like that. i just think some threads have been locked where it was probably a little unnecessary.

this is the complaint jay. lol

i havnt noticed a lot that have been locked. but i didnt think the picture thread should have been. it was fun! but thats only 1 example i can think of

maybe some people should be given the power to "unlock" threads

jaybiss · 6th June 2007, 19:50

nah im not moaning or defending what ever but a few links would help and it can be discussed

why it was spam?

3 people posting pics and generally fucking the thread up anyways then 3 more posts correcting eachother...

The picture thread was a bag of toss and quite rightly deleted.

jaybiss · 6th June 2007, 19:55

Barry123 · 6th June 2007, 19:58

my bad didnt even noticed vipes had posted (tend to just ignore his posts anyway)

Certi · 6th June 2007, 20:04

I see where you're coming from Ads and I do agree with you that one or two of the threads maybe didn't need to be locked. But on the other side of it I can see why they were locked.

On the whole though I think the RMOs are doing a great job so far.

yep defo agree on that, as i say in my first post, they've filled a void when the mods are away. saxp has grown like a mofo over the last few years so i can understand that it there's been an increasing burden on you guys' shoulders.

Certi · 6th June 2007, 20:08

LOL @ twinkle toes aswell

Baz · 6th June 2007, 20:25

lock it!

first time ive seen Jay in a serious kind of mode lol well done sir

S34MER · 6th June 2007, 22:37

i agree with Jay, need some link to posts you think were locked "before they go out of hand" otherwise we can't identify the problem next time!

barrett^p · 6th June 2007, 22:54

Fair play to say it ads.

Maybe some have been locked faunirly, but then that always happens. It is inevitable that with more mods more things are likely to be picked up on that may have otherwised slipped. e.g. vipers constant spam

When starting off as a mod it takes a little while to get a grasp of the buttons and work out your right from left. With time I think that things will settle down a little and you will not feel the same way.

I think the RMOs are doing a great job with there new toys and every action they have taken can be justified. Its the internet don't forget... big brother is watching you.
