I have a request...
Just for the record - i justify the locking of the thread in question by the right of pre-emptive action. I didnt like the way the thread was/is going. I'll be keeping a VERY close eye on it.
I don't mean to be picky but I'd like to help you guys out who don't speak English natively - it cracks me up to no end when I read it (and I read it alot)...
"Shits".
Okay. You don't "write shits" about someone, you write shit about them. Plural ('shits') form is generally only used to describe shitting alot ("I've got the shits"). Just to clear that up! Now if anyone has any good Deutsch or Polski tips for me, fire away.
I wanna flame Dak now.
i think unlock every thread, and remove the locking thread option
its not a gaming forum without flame threads
and some of them you lock just as it starts getting interesting
alas we're not in a perfect world where the species of moderators face extinction and the anarchists have taken over. one can still wish however.

It's not what i consider "perfect" or what "i would do" but if i lived in the world i have in my head I'd lock these childish flames only when turned into a braw (edit: and be sure that it's hard to get me into a brawl ;P)l. As you say....things just got interesting. After all, only during a storm you see the true character of the captain ;] (as i've said once again here, for the zidane - matterazzi-whatever incident) link
Oh yes, set the boards on fire for random ppl's entertainment :roll: If you guys want quality flaming, go visit the brawlhall or something. I wont allow anything more than a heated discussion on my shift ;p
......or you will be lost like Rena.
Just for the record, I wasn't lost I simply could take it anymore. I do it with cold blood and with clear mind. Simply as that.
Peace

How aboot Russian?
мои туфли воняют как комбинация жопы Жирного Ублюдка из Остина Поверса и Фред Дёрст
Translation: my shoes stank like a nasty-ass combination of Fat Bastard's from austin poewrs' ass and Fred Durst
Oh, and Base said that when I wrote: "Rasmil, du kannst sucky-sucky meine eisenpenis", it was funny, but not the most grammatically correct sentence ever written in german... better than both iko and dr-uff tho... i could now be one of billions of russian immigrants in germany, being on the dole and living in a small "russian town" block of flats
on topic:
Rena... im glad that you aint left yet... if u want to play Return to Castle Wolfenstein (i got versions 1.0 1nd 1.5 i believe)... hit me up on MSN
@ Apache... that was the best form of sarcasm ever, the oh-so subtle type that also can double as a serious statement at the same time, like it did here... Us Brits are the best in the World for sarcasm
finallly... i say that most threads are justifiably locked on the occasion that they are locked... but it sometimes feels more like censorship, than flame preventing...
However i cant really criticise Mad or Wax and term (and any other mod/admin which might show up ), its why they are here...
finally... its not like a flame war is going to do any serious damage, i actually enjoy participating when i do... mostly because there are certain guidelines and a stencilled order to the actual order of the flame, and there are much scarier things in life than two people trying to fling lumps of shites, even though they live in different countries or even parts of the world
Verdict: there is great moderation, sometime it's a little over-enthusiastic, but it is not killing anyone, so i say a good old-fashoned "fuck it"
(at this point i dont even understand my own opinion on this, cos it has changed 3 times... maby thatswhy im not sa good as i used to be in essay writing )
[random input]
Haven't seen mad (or anyone else) do a bad lock yet. Some threads are just spam, and some are just - or will inevitably become - flame. I say good job so far, in fact I am impressed.Also disagree with anything having been locked "too fast". Too fast would be before a thread takes the wrong turn, and lately threads have had several pages of wildfire before being locked. Could even go as far as to say that some first posts basically opened a thread that said "Here, a dry forest! Bring the matches." Intentionally or not.
We could also be talking about completely different things but it feels like there's pretty much just been one major problem around this time.
Will become a flame? Who is to decide if it will become a flame? When a moderator starts gettin up on high horses and in advance decide all by himself that a thread is gonna go in a specific direction then he is the wrong man for the job.
Off topic is off topic... Whats wrong with flaming someone? If you stop letting people say what they want about other people then it IS censorship, as long as the "flame" is atleast mildly civil. Lock topics that are in the wrong forum, porn, racism or if it is breaking forum rules, leave the rest alone...
