Is it just me, or does it seem like the admins are bringing out the padlocks more and more around here...... maybe we all need to think about some of the things that are going on and calm down a bit..... Just a thought and this thread may get a lock too..... who knows.....

 

not any more than "normal" having done a quick scan on the first page of the different topics I didn't see any locks in several of them.
The six word story has been against site rules for a number of years now. at one piont even an indirect reference ran the risk of a hasty departure. (there was an epidemic of three word stories) as fun as they were, it was an admins nightmare to control content. (family site)

 

i think the michael jackson thread is going to get one and i saw one yesterday that got into a political/war discussion that was closed

 

a lot of the threads that are being locked i think should be... they [admins] seem to be doing just fine

 

Im not complaining about the admins. I was just suggesting that we could all calm down a bit so that they wouldnt have to calm us down.... meerly a suggestion....

 

Maybe the locks have come out a bit more lately, these things seem to be cyclic. However, considering the number of posts on any given day, the percentage of locked threads remain very small.
I think this is a great indication of the high quality of our members.

Just who are you telling to calm down.....LOL

 

I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. Threads that NEED to be locked tend to get locked.

 

I believe he was talking to YOU......ya low-down, yellow, liver-lipped sissy.

 

This does not apply to Hoss.

Thems fighting words you knock kneed Yellow Stripped Civit Cat..

 

yea but nobody complained too hard about the concrete bedliner

 

Careful boys or they'll put a lock on this one too.

 

Wow, I just realized I've been a Moderator for a year and a half, thought it was only 6 months or so.

In that year and a half I've noticed that it does come in cycles.

May-June it seems people have more time to post, and the frosty beverages are being consumed a bit more, so that leads to more locks.

Still, they aren't pulled out at much as they used to be, or maybe that's just me.
