Lots of threads being closed by mods
 

Is it me or are there more threads lately that are getting closed by mods?

Four threads in the recent past needed to be closed according to mods...
Things tend to get heated up very quickly, insults fly...
I sure hope this isn't becoming a trend!

It will never cease to amaze me what evolves from an innocent thread (question) being posted. A fist fight on the internet.

Its the New Order. 1984.

I've seen other forums where people fight about computer hardware... tv shows... video games..


..but only here do people get into fits of rage over snow tires and cuff links.

Big/little Brother.

Yep. Lucky for me I tend to lose interest once a thread deviates from its topic.

No kiding, I mean it pretty obvious that you dont use cuff links on snow tires. What kind of snow tires have sleeves anyways?????

Who voted in these moderators? I demand a recount.

Looks like Danny_Ocean got banned last night too... Coulda seen that coming from a mile away.....

People are getting more and more frustrated these days. This will increase as things go downhill in life and the economy. One of their outlets are various forums on the internet...

Lot's more could have benefited from a Mercy Killing.

That's too bad. Danny Ocean is like the sniper of the southwest.

Perhaps a refresher read would help here - Forum rules and guidelines.

I didn't close any of the threads listed above, but I have closed "runaway" threads in the past. When a thread declines to name calling and internet bullying, it has run its course. The threads listed have clearly run their course - the posts became more and more off topic, and more and more name calling and ugliness ensued.

Sometimes closing a thread helps folks to clear their heads - ever gotten into an argument at a bar? Hopefully you have good friends who tell you, "take it easy - it's not worth getting into a fight over..." (Now one may argue that better friends will tell you, "I got your back. Swing away...)

So when a moderator closes a thread, it's like the same thing - we're trying to dispell the crowd before a mob fight breaks out.

That said, Thread closed.

-Z-man.

WTF?! :eek: You Edited. ! The edited. moderators have the right to close any edited. threads they edited. please!!! If you can't be edited. civil and polite, STAY THE edited. OUTTA HERE!!! :mad:





Heh,heh :D

Ha Ha - Z-man.

i still like cuff links and silk knots on French cuff shirts but I'll always be a button down man at heart.:D

Well that's a bunch of inappropriate comment removed - Z-man. if I hever heard it!
:D:D:D

2 of the 4 mentioned closed threads had clearly run their course and there was nothing more constructive to be said. When it's over, it's over........

Dam!!

Interesting. I closed the "cufflinks" thread after a complaint brought it to my attention and it was obvious that it was well into the quagmire.

I didn't close the other ones. If Z didn't close them, maybe our new moderators are more active? I didn't get the memo...

Wayne closed the tire thread... IDK who closed the two in the 911 board...

there's a 911 board here?!?!?

moderators are poopy-heads, except for Wayne ;)

And why weren't we told of this?

I think, other than a few threads, we have a nice balance. Not too sober, a good numbers of laughs, but gennerally civil.

Is it for emergency use;)

I'm never going live that comment down, am I?!? SmileWavy

-Z-man.

WTF? Yes you do, where do you think studded snow tires come from? Poopy head:D

Studded snow tires - - - for her pleasure - - -

If anyone starts b!tching and moaning that their car wasn't delivered with snow tires already fitted with cuff links, I'm gonna have to unleash the frickin' fury.
:D

L O L !

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Give it to me, big boy!"

:D :D :D :D

All your poopy heads are belong to snow tires.

Caption time... Trojan has a new condom on the market... write an advertising tag line to go with the name.

The new condom is named:

All this talk about proper lubrication, what women really want is proper traction!

Right Angela?

Hey, hey... show a little respect for the Pelican Sweetheart. :eek: :D

How old are you guys?:rolleyes:

Old enough to appreciate those jokes ;)

Feel free to shut down the few. They needed killin'.

Wayne is without a doubt the most tolerant and polite administrator of any forum I have been on. He lets things go, but he personally never steps out of line. If he shuts down a thread, well...
