If I post a valid query about forum behaviour, but title it a rant, is it actually a rant?

if I post a rant about something, but don't call it a rant, is it not a rant?

Just wondering why my thread that questioned a forum behaviour was locked, when it was called a rant, but if you read it, there was a valid point being made. if I repost it and just include the problem, how does that change what the purpose of the thread was?

On a more serious note, just dont rant at all and you should be ok PROVIDED IT IS RELEVANT TO THAT FORUM SECTION.

Discussing moderation is also a no-no so expect this thread to be locked too.

Rule one for forum etiquette: Ignore Lady Spank. "She's" in it for ego gratification purposes only.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

She's bi-polar, blows hot and cold, so not reliable or dependable.

Ignore the bit before 'on a more serious note' and you should be ok.

Is there any form of etiquette on these forums? Yes, most posts are deemed to be 'whining' and must be met with canned responses.

The forums don't get policed any more than the game does. If your thread was locked it was a random drive by locking.Then there is blatant favortism. When CSM campaigns started all GD candidate threads were moved to Jita speakers. Except Mittani ones.

Discussing mod decisions is a bannable offense. Just a heads up. Your thread was locked because a mod thought it deserved to be locked. HTFU and stop carrying on about it.

Also, in before another lock.

Lady Spank is correct. Discussion of Moderation is a no no, so please do not continue to do so. If you have an issue you are free to file a petition under the Community category.

Thank you.
