You two might have been discussing it, but too many other members were derailing it. Instead of removing several posts, it was locked. I have said this too many topics. This is how the team moderates.

locking the topic is also the best way to prevent the conversation from continuing.  
That's a side-effect. It's not like they did it on purpose. This is the way the moderators work, it's not just something that BBallAsh23 just did selectively, this is a rule that is enforced site-wide.

there are problems with how the moderation team works. You can't possibly think it's perfect.

This was is a good way to moderate though. I told you could make the topic again, but you have chosen not to. This discussion no longer needs to continue.

I think a lot of times  you guys just see me as arguing that you're singling me out or whatever and so you counter-argue "That's how it always works!" when I'm really arguing that there's a problem with the way you do this.

This is how we moderate for everyone, not just you.

There isn't a problem with the way we lock topics. I already told you that you are welcome to make a new topic, but for some reason you will not do that.

I could make another topic about it but it wouldn't be the same people or conversation.

Why don't you get that?

Nothing is perfect. Ash did the right thing in locking your topic. It is procedure to lock topics that have just become a slanging match because the point of the topic would be lost.

How are you arguing there is a problem with how we lock topics? I have explained it to you several times.

The conversation between you and that member can continue in another topic.

Instead of deleting so many posts, we just lock it and move on.

I know that it is procedure to lock  topics in which you are too lazy to delete some of the  posts which are not relevant to the threads main conversation (which would not be hindered by deleting such slanging posts btw). I'm not saying it's not.

I'm saying that's a problem. If it's not perfect you can get closer to.

So you're just bitter because your conversation won't be as good, according to you? How do you even know? It could even be better.

You whine so much but when the opportunity is given to you to start over you reject it and complain some more.

Seriously, a topic was locked, this happens all the time, move on.

Just because you don't agree with the the site guidelines, or you say the misconduct doesn't affect you, it doesn't mean you are right at all.

In the year + I was a moderator we always moderated on issues like these, and before that I always saw it moderated like that.

Its not the moderators fault that you are involved in a lot of shit which happens that you don't agree with or like to whine about. You've been here a long time ago and I think its about time you kick your brain into gear and pay attention to what is going on.

1) I've explained the problem several times, it is you who doesn't get it. Or doesn't want to.

2) No it can't. When someone locks your topic I really doubt you make another one and go, "Everybody go over here when you get back online!"

3) Or instead of locking it and getting in a huge argument you could just delete the posts and move on, or ask two support leaders to. As I said, SL's absolutely live for that shit.

Maybe it would be better, but it wouldn't be the same one. Haven't you ever become frustrated when arguments you're in get locked?

Complaining is often progressive.

I won't move on, why don't you gtfo my topic if you don't want to read this?
