The reason I asked to let the thread die is because on one of the complaints a user's son read the thread and started asking questions about some of the "terms" in there.......well, as you can guess that's something Matrix takes pretty seriously especially with the porn spam attacks recently not to mention the two definite hacks of the site. The thread didn't die....therefore I locked it up. Others would have deleted it.
FYI, when a thread or post is reported.....it goes to ALL moderators, administrators and Matrix staff. Those who have time.....look at the reported thread/post. If there is ANY question about it.......most of us TALK about the action BEFORE doing anything. In short, there is a definite "WE" and the overall consensus was to stop the thread since potential children we're involved. However, everyone is different......last week a couple of users complained about another user's signature. I saw no problem with it.......hell, it was funny. Others here at Matrix saw things differently than me and instituted some changes. Balance is what this place has....believe it or not. Now, if you'all excuse me......Squad Assault has a deadline of July.
And if Jess and youse others wanna rumble......goto AOW or NAMB at Wargamer.....we'll tangle (and I'll win).
BTW....the only thing that doesn't really fly at AOW is profanity and outright personal attacks.
Hmm should I touch this or not with a IR scoped panther!
for the slow thinker see below.

Did't think you changed your name to V.K.

Hmpf. I must say, that was a tough call. I understand that you have to respond to complaints, but still..... what "terms" in that thread were reason enough to lock it. I for one fail to see it. :rolleyes:
Ah well. There's always another day...since it's locked:
Kokoda: Yes, ofcourse you can edit your messages whenever you feel like it.

It's also a nice way to not up your post count due to a number of "oops" posts. (an "edit" doesn't count on your post meter) :p Except for forgetting the file attachments, that is!

Maybe I did change my name to V.K. for my alter ego. IMO I didn't see anything worth locking either.

Thank you for your answer, Vic, its appreciated. I understand a bit better now, but really do think we should have the same rules as all other forums here. If those two things are all that doesn't fly over there, the same should apply here. A persons son can get into there or here just as easily. Either way, thanks again.

Thanks for the clarification, Vic. As Gob said, it's truly appreciated (although quite unnecessary

)
I guess it's a good point to remember that this forum (as opposed to AoW) is a family-oriented forum. All of us should be reminded occassionally of that fact, and behave appropriately.
If you wouldn't make your comment in your grandparent's living room around your children, maybe you should consider rephrasing your comment in the SPWaW forums. (some people's grandparents and children notwithstanding.

)
I also considered the moderator's response to be even-handed. The posters were asked to stop, they didn't, the playground was closed. It seems a reasonable response to me.
(and frankly, some of you guys could get a bit more cerebral with your taunts. I know you can do it. :p )

OK, let's all take some lessons from this.
Vic: When you see a problem arising in a thread, be more specific about what action you'd like to see taken. Many thought that your warning meant that a line had been crossed, and that the discussion should be steered back into appropriate waters...not that further replies were forbidden. We understand and appreciate that you have more important things to do (CL!!!); just tell us which papers to p on and consider them 'wet'.
Gmenfan: No more days off...bring a laptop to your next procedure and have the doctor give you a 'local'.

If we see a substitute teacher, the class is gonna break out the spitballs...sometimes the Ritalin just doesn't cut it.

j/k
Matrix: You've always said that many of the forum's improvements came from member's suggestions, so lemme give it a try. Give the mods some better tools; if a thread/post is deemed improper they should have the ability to zap it out of existence immediately, not simply close it and wait for it to fall off. I understand that it may be a limitation of the software, but it doesn't hurt ask, right?
Jim L: Next time you're feeling aggressive, hit the weights,
not the forum.
Jess: Stop poking the mods with pointy sticks...the bars aren't that strong. And gimme my stick back!
Bel: Stop hanging out in AoW; you might catch something that penicillin doesn't touch.

But your post about the French blocking roads and throwing manure at parliament did have me ROFLMAO!
OB: I saw you laughing from behind that tree...smart move!
Goblin: (sigh) I had such high hopes for you... :p
Me: Don't post after downing a 44oz Big Gulp of Mountain Dew (pulse rate = 150). Uh oh...Vic, you better point me to those papers, FAST!
