The topic that was locked was locked because it was going nowhere it was just becoming one massive witch hunt and flame session. And end had to be put to it because it would just run and run. Termys apology was the right thing to do. That should now put it to rest.
@Bo saying waxy should have moderator rights stripped from him, is not fair, he is a very responsible and mature member of this community and myself like others I am sure will stand by his decision Winking Happy Happy

I was quoting Rena, not Wax.. Happy

But I stand for what I say. The community should say when hot topics should be deleted or locked. In this case I agree. It was going nowhere, and I was never questioning the lock, I just wanted to know who made the decision. But when Rena says he will delete such topics on sight then I think he should not be moderator. Opinions need to be heard and it is not up to Admins whos opinions stay and whos gets deleted.

EDIT: And locking is ok imo since it can always be unlocked if the community wants it (And wax offered to do just that if anyone thought it would be necessary). But to just delete because you don't like it then you are using your powers the wrong way. Deleting offensive/racist/sexist separate posts is totally ok without "asking community" first tho. Thats what the mods are there for in the first place...

completely agreed. also getting stuff deleted means you later have no proof something like that hapened. like for example the holy.gunner threads wich dissapeared and then new people actualy supported him a few months later, and all who witnessed the crap had no proof it hapened.

or parasights posts that dissapeared when he commented the girl posting her pics and community drooling (and later it turned out to be a guy) just cause some mods got ashamed of drooling as well...

lock = yes, when deemed necessary (i think wax did it well)

deleting = never, ever, unless the posts are clearly against the law or forum rules (racism, porn, etc).

I am proud of spreading a pirated Excessive Plus version and claim to be the original author, yay!

  • , I totaly agree with You and what people say before this post. Happy Maybe I was overeacting a bit Thinking , happend sometime to everyone. You are right. Happy
  • But You know I was thinking on this particular guy which every while make some kind of trouble and then talking alot in public, flaming and he was done forbiden things like spamming whole forum bad words and havy insults etc... and then apologuse to all. After while again troubles with him and "Marry go arrond". Happy
  • Maybe You dont know me well, but people arround who know me better, know me as stady guy... I am temerament southeren guy, but anything what I try to do is "in good faith" helping E+ on any positive and constructive way can be possible done. Happy
  • We can change that: You are also on my list for interviewing if You agree of course and then we will have chance to knownig better. Happy
