This isnt anything new. Mods have always locked threads that have run their course.
Yes, but it seems to be becoming more and more common, and in this case, it was a thread that still had some potential, and at least 3 people i talked to wanted to respond to it. Aside from that - it was more the manner of the closing, the way an inflammatory comment was made (after saying the thread was over), and then the thread closed. It's a nit i've picked with moderators before, and more than one of them have PMs in their inboxes from me about it. By Pezza making an on-topic statement, the thread had obviously not "run its course" and so, it probably shouldn't have been locked.
As for Pezzas comments, I dont see how you take what he said as a general flame at the majority of the Community. He said that there were a few non-mods that he would trust to be moderators and even then, one of those he wasnt sure about.
No, what he said was that he trusted 3 members of the community, and even one of those he didnt really trust. If he can't warrant even an ounce of trust for more than 3 (out of tens of thousands), then why is he here? By stating that the rest of us are all untrustworthy, he's stating that he automatically disbelieves everything we say, and automatically puts any of our opinions in his little box of bull-blam!-. There were no modifiers such as "i would only trust 3 members as moderators" it was, and i quote, "I trust about three non-mods". Pezza doesn't trust us - nice of him. I mean, we're all obviously rabid spammers not worthy of even being talked to.
I usually give your posts a little more weight elmicker, but if you can sit there and honestly say with a straight face that a majority of Bungie.net users would make good moderators, then I'll have to re-think that.
No, that's not what i mean. I trust most people in this community, but all to varying degrees. However, out of those, at most, i could think of 30 who i would trust to be empowered as moderators. Don't think i'm so moronic as to trust the majority of the community to that level.
WAYYYY off-topic.
Way off topic would be talking about a totally unrelated subject, such as how much i like pie (not very much). This is me raising an issue of moderators locking threads that didn't need to be locked, in a thread about moderators unexpectedly locking threads. Its very much on topic.
