Why do decent threads get locked for no reason?

Sorry to call you out Phantom, but you lock things so arbitrarily and it really puts a damper on things here. Either you need to fine tune your moderation skills, or CCP needs to fine tune their forum rules. There are at least 3 threads in GD this morning that were locked for what I see as arbitrary reasons...good/fun discussion were going on within their many pages, and I saw no objective reason they should be locked.

Oh and: IBTL.

You won't get an answer this way. If you really are "upset" about some forum moderators decision, shoot them a petition.

I wasn't looking for an answer, so it's all good. Just voicing an opinion. A petition wouldn't have gotten an answer anyhow.

It's because CCP seems to allocate about 30 minutes per day to moderating their forums. When you don't have regular ongoing moderation and try to do it once per day the baby often gets thrown out with the bathwater.

Locking threads seems to be CCP mods favorite way of "interacting" with the community.

So..if this thread is going to be locked within several minutes anyway, how about another like-circlejerk as long as we can?Big smile

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.
