Is that the same as locking? No, it means your topic was being deterred from the original discussion idea to the point that people were just slagging each other off rather than discussing the topic. -- Posted by rex reed at 12:09 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from Its Bearsy Bitch at 12:07 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 And what does "derail" mean?

Create it again if you still want to talk about it. -- Posted by BBallAsh23 at 12:09 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 I know you didn't. It was long gone fixing. After a while, instead of just hiding too many replies, we just lock it. You can post another topic and I'll add a warning to not derail the topic. -- Posted by Bearsy at 12:11 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from marshmellowman at 12:09 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from Its Bearsy Bitch at 8:07 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 And what does "derail" mean?

No it hasn't, look at the conversation between my and greatescape11. Ok she's slagging me which is rude but I wasn't going to do the same thing back. I'm still talking. -- Posted by Bearsy at 12:12 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from BBallAsh23 at 12:09 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 I know you didn't. It was long gone fixing.

It also takes longer, locking a topic is much faster. -- Posted by bighead1991 at 12:13 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 There is no point to, the sl hide feature is also not meant for that. A topic so far-gone is locked, simple as. -- Posted by BBallAsh23 at 12:14 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from Its Bearsy Bitch at 3:12 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 why not have two support leaders go in and delete the extra posts? They live for that shit Thats not how it works. Because too much of the topic was derailed, we locked it. As I said, you can make another topic but I'll add a warning. -- Posted by Bearsy at 12:15 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Don't become a mod if you're too lazy to take a few minutes to delete extra posts and want to do the easy thing of locking people threads and stopping their conversations, dear God.   I'm not going to make another thread now and go, "Ok everybody, right where that last thread left off on page four...." How many replies do you think that would really get? -- Posted by uwastedmyheart at 12:15 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from Skip at 12:09 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 that girl is such a mindless bitch Thank you.

I'm not going to make another thread now and go, "Ok everybody, right where that last thread left off on page four...." How many replies do you think that would really get? I explained how we handle this issue. If the topic is going to have too many replies hidden from it, we lock the topic and allow the member to make a new topic. -- Posted by marshmellowman at 12:18 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from Its Bearsy Bitch at 8:15 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Don't become a mod if you're too lazy to take a few minutes to delete extra posts and want to do the easy thing of locking people  threads and stopping their conversations, dear God. I'm not going to make another thread now and go, "Ok everybody, right where that last thread left off on page four...." How many replies do you think that would really get? So you'd rather have a bunch of empty pages with posts removed due to content violations and replying to removed posts? That would be even worse to be honest because then the conversation gets removed totally. It's not the moderators fault if your topic doesn't get replies, don't blame this on them. This isn't your fault, and it's annoying, but you have to live with it. -- Posted by Bearsy at 12:18 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 and why are those two less likely to post in my new topic but everybody else isn't? -- Posted by Bearsy at 12:19 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from marshmellowman at 12:18 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from Its Bearsy Bitch at 8:15 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Don't become a mod if you're too lazy to take a few minutes to delete extra posts and want to do the easy thing of locking people threads and stopping their conversations, dear God.      I'm not going to make another thread now and go, "Ok everybody, right where that last thread left off on page four...."    How many replies do you think that would really get?

Got it? Not your posts per se, and I wasn't saying your posts specifically, but rather conversations in your topic. This isn't about you and what you wrote. This is about what the derailers did to your topic. You also replied to a post that might be removed though. You were taking part in the discussion, but it was derailed. It's not your fault but if it wasn't locked it might have been carried further on. Why have to delete all those posts when locking the topic is a better way to prevent flaming. -- Posted by Bearsy at 12:25 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from marshmellowman at 12:23 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 Quote: from Its Bearsy Bitch at 8:19 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 No my conversation would not be removed, I'm not IN the conversation between tweedle dee and tweedle dum.

It was absolutely not derailed, me and greatescape11 were talking about it to the end, there was a separate irrelevant discussion going on in there but I was ignoring it.   I also wouldn't mind if that one post of mine was removed.   locking the topic is also the best way to prevent the conversation from continuing.
