If you were a ninja and needed to lock a theard and ban a user. what would you do first lock the thread or ban the user. my reason for asking this is, normally when i see a locked thread i will click and see why it was locked.

while in the flood i saw this thread was locked so i clicked on ithttp://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=71235847 that is the thread i am talking about. the OP was a link to an image, just an image no other text.

this thread was already locked. after seeing watch the image was i was wondering why the user wasnt banned yet. after refreshing the page the user was.

so this had my wondering the question, why did this ninja lock the thread first instead of banning the user? so this is why i proposed this question to the community. what would you do first lock a thread then ban the user, or the other way around?

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Ban then lock. If they are posting inappropriate material, it is better to hide it and then make it so people can't bump the thread, as opposed to the other way around.

I fail to see how this is important. The time difference between the two seems to be two seconds. Really not a big deal...

I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.

Well, Bungie.net is on several servers. Sometimes they update slower than usual, which is why sometimes you'll see someone banned and other times not, and sometimes you'll see a thread locked, and sometimes not.

I'd imagine that is what happened here.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

Sometimes I lock first, sometimes I don't. I have, a couple of times, locked a thread only to change my mind after reading it for a bit.

I think you need to rethink that number.....Rich :P


OT: I think it matters on the level of the crime sort of speak. Sometimes the mods will lock a thread purely to end the discussion, then realize by the users post history, they do indeed deserve a ban. Or the user does something worthy of a ban right in that thread, and then the thread is locked so there is no further discussion....

At least I'm guessing thats what they do.

Okay, here's one. When you ban a user, is the thread he was banned for automatically locked?

No.

I've seen people get banned, but their threads not get locked. If someone is banned for making a thread, the thread will always be locked. But if they get banned for a response to a thread, it won't.

Well I know that, I was wondering if the OP of a thread is banned in that thread, if the thread he was banned for is automatically locked.
