Why is the Term vs Infected topic locked?
I just think the topic is very interesting
indeed but do you not think it had lost its bite ?
Waxy, how's the kitchen coming along? PM me some pics - im very interested to see the works
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

I was quoting Rena, not Wax..
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...
Couldn't have said it better.

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).
Interesting Opinions.. A source of evidence, more history.
@ Bo, my apologies. I misunderstood you :oops:

About rules.

rule for how old u must bee to register in this community.
