I believe that a moderator/forum ninja should be required to reply to a thread that they lock. They should explain why they are locking the thread and then, if the thread creator was at fault, tell them what they did wrong. Bungie.net has some of the best moderators I've ever seen, I'm not critisizing the Ninjas themselves.

PS: TGP is very good when it comes to explaining why he locks threads.

Better yet, do it my way, and add a feature that says why the thread was locked.

Fair enough.

In that case, you shall be required to follow the rules of the site to the letter. If you cannot do so, you will be removed permanently from this site.

Oh look! That means you're doomed. As it turns out, replying to and quoting spam has been against the rules since the New Hotness went live back in 2004. Even if it hadn't been listed, it's common sense that you shouldn't do it.

Oh yeah, "use common sense" is a rule, too. Can a person be blacklisted for two forevers?

Here's the bottom line. We're volunteers, and humans. We have our own agendas. We may not always have time to provide a written reason via pm or othewise. Further? If your post is the 20th post on the same topic on the first page of a forum, there's no reason to bother adding a reply. For that matter, it is perfectly obvious as to why the majority of locked threads are indeed locked.

Further still? Some threads are so inconcievably stupid, it's a waste of time to reply to them. Further, replying bumps a thread, and brings it more attention.

If you can't figure out why a thread is locked, pm a moderator.

Nice comparisons, Shiskaboob.

Besides that, the topic of this thread has been repeated more than once over the course of the last few days, and it's starting to get irritating.

Shishka, you've done yourself quite a bit of flaming before on the forums, typically just before you permaban someone. It's in the rules to keep flaming to a minimal, therefore you've broken that. But, then to say that you kept your flaming to a minimal may overthrow that charge, so bring in the cavalry! Common sense says that you should've probablly never flamed in the first place. Bant. Oh, yeah, even though it wasn't common sense in the first place. It's human instinct.

Anyone can take common sense a very long way, Shishka. Human instinct and common sense vary greatly, though one may be thick-headed enough to get the two confused.

Since when were you human?

And maybe you would have the time to give a brief explanation if you didn't make this 2000 long character post. You could've stopped earlier, you know, and had more time to devote to your own 'agenda', hadn't you kept going further still . . .

This is like the third thread this week about the same thing. Not happy with Ninja lock skills basically.

Yeh we do reply most of the time but in some cases it is so bleedingly obvious simply reading the first post would give the reason away.

Similarly to Shishka's post -
I think it should be a requirement that everyone reads every sticky before posting or replying in any way. That would lead to less locking and therefore less unexplained locking and therefore less heartache for all concerned.

I like this idea.

So when you hit the "New Topic" button, you go to a general Sticky. At the bottom of this Sticky is a disclamer that says:

If you break any of these Rules, your Thread will be locked and you may be subject to Blacklisting if it's a punishable offense.
