come on guys, how many times should I be called on to moderate one thread... Is it transformers that make people funny, or just the people?
Can you please point out what was the problem exactly?
Don't see any problem going on here, neither anything that is remarkably close to break any forum rules.
Your post seems completely out of place with the respectful and informative content of this thread.
So if there's any problem, please let us know clearly what it is.
I will not copy past all the forum rules here, because I know all of them and you also know all of them.
But I will leave here at least the most broken one:
"4. You will find that the members of this community are courteous and respectful of each other, so please reciprocate those gestures. Leave the flame-war mentality at another forum. Personal attacks and generally hateful comments (regarding race, religion, gender, sex, etc...) will not be tolerated."
I didn't see any disrespect, flame-war mentality, Personal attacks and generally hateful comments here, actually far from it.
So care to explain?
Do you want me to lock this thread? You can always start a new one.
If there's any reason to lock any thread, like breaking any forum rules, you should lock it if you wish for sure.
It's not the case here so coming here and threatening people doesn't really make any sense at all.
Being a moderator carries a responsibility of analysing each situation, and be patient to understand when there's any reason to intervene or not.
I completely understand that being a moderator is hard work, but that's the reason only a few are chosen to be so. A moderator has also to think if he wants to carry that burden or not, at the same time be honest and step down if he feels tired of doing so and if he feels that doesn't have the proper conditions (energy, patience, fairness) at the present to do it properly.
A "Western movie" style approach to enter a a saloon cowboy style and threatening everyone with a gun without any reason is far from good or fair moderation.
It's not the first time that you do this, entering a thread , threat everyone to lock it and didn't even check if there was evidence for doing so or not.
You already did this in this thread in "
Feb 11, 2023", back then you were a gentlemen and admitted that it was a mistake and apologized.
I hope you do the same now or explain us what forum rules were broken and why you are threatening us members to lock this thread.
Thanks
