Check the create times. I locked yours because it was a duplicate. Nothing more, and nothing personal.
And trust me, count your lucky stars it's me doing the gunning on the Halo 3 forum at the moment. Most of the moderators aren't nearly as tolerant as I am. At the most I'll give you a week off for flaming or spamming excessively. If by chance I give a perma-ban, it's usually for posting a disgusting link, or being racist, or flaming to the point of being offensive. They aren't given out lightly.
I don't petition to have bans extended when I get super-flamey PMs, although it's something I could do easily. I don't ban for minor infractions, if I did, the Halo 3 forum would have 15 users.
What I do do, is let people vent at me in PM's, make my Messengers and emails public so people can contact me in an emergency, more specifically I worked with the other moderators to make some threads for use in that forum that could be repositories of all the ideas people had - so that if by some freak chance Bungie did decide to look at them they wouldn't have to chase down 4000 repeat topics and posts that have sunk to oblivion. So I kinda chuckle to myself when people call me a hard-ass in the Halo 3 forum, considering I'm doing what I can to make the forum enjoyable. I know this thread has an intention of making the moderators look bad, but seriously, look at it a bit closer. We're doing what we can, and the little bit of thanks we do get from time to time is heavily offset by the ungrateful whinings of people that simply do not want to follow the guidelines and rules for using the site.
Sorry, I ain't gonna sympathize with you.
I seriously dissagree with that user. GameJunkieJim makes a good job. And I know he examines posts thoroughly before taking any action. I seriously think that your intentions are just bad ones for the only reasons that he may have locked a post of yours for being a duplicate. Next time, think twice before doing a post or it may get locked and you may get mad at any moderator doing his job. I may suggest you looking for atleast the first 5 pages before doing a post because as you may know, many people here think alike and you may not be an exception.
Í am grateful of having such a good moderators here in the forums.
