Closing Threads
 

My thread was closed because it was about me being afraid of getting negative posts and redirected to another thread. I got a lot of good feedback from my fellow FTers and could not respond because the thread was closed.

My other thread (the only other thread I had) was closed because I put a FT name in the thread title. I forgot that rule and I have no problem with it being closed.

Wingless, I closed the thread because it had turned into a more general discussion about the reputation system, we had closed several of those in the past days and in order to be consistent (and to prevent being accused of biased moderation as usual) I decided that what was being said there could quite easilly be said in one of the several already existing threads on the topic.

Scott I guess I was just a bit bummed when I only posted 2 new threads in the last month or two and both were closed.

No problem

Wingless ... wise up .. you are talking about OMNI here. There never IS necessarily any reasoning or logic involved. ;)

ScottC closed your thread today at 7.28am - I Am Afraid to Post Anything That May Give Me A Negative Rating

on this basis:

"OK, this has moved from a fun thread into another discussion of reputation in general ..... "

(All the posts, including those from the Forum Mods seemed light hearted to me!)

However with true OMNI consistency, this silly thread was opened at 8.50am and remains open:

The Anonymous Negative Reputation Thread

Where folks are posting the actual negative dings they have allegedly received. :rolleyes:

So it seems you are free to go post to that seeing both yours were locked.

Sorry Wingless, I hope you now see we were not picking on you!

As always Ozstamps thank you for your input in Omni moderation.

As for the TIMES on those threads, you are quoting your LOCAL time.

Thanks for taking care of those threads, Scott!

Hmmm .. well resident techie, it is actually 3.30am here - Wednesday. ;)

You might if you look carefully see I was (AFAIK) quoting Flyertalk USA COS Mountain Time.)

And regardless of what time zone was quoted, the chronology is surely:


1. Wingless's light hearted (perfect OMNI?) thread get closed.

2. An hour or so later a similar thread gets opened.

3. And 2 hours later it is still open while you explain here why hers got locked

But as always, I maybe wrong. :D

As always Ozstamps thank you for your input in Omni moderation.

Its a well known fact that the OMNI moderators are holding a grudge against wingless (due to the fact that she's only started two threads in OMNI over the last month).

Or could it be that we just missed the other thread?

Actually it was just 2 new threads on FT not just in OMNI.

Thanks for the support everyone and Scott you may now close this thread.

Thanks!

Glad to assist where I can guys ... notice it got locked down REAL fast. :D

Can you guys in return please share a few of those juicy collector series "Reputation" points with me if you don't mind though? :)

'could it be that we just missed the other thead?'

skofarrell - yes I can understand missing a thread for hours titled:

The Anonymous Negative Reputation Thread

was very easy to do. ;)

-------------------------------------------

Not so fast - - the OMNI gestapos got that one, too. :(

So what if it is silly? Isn't that part of what makes up OMNI?

And Randy has implicitly approved the use of anonymous reputation dings. If it acceptable to send them, why isn't it acceptable to discuss them?

I DO NOT appreicate being referred to as one of the "Omni gestapo".

Nobody said it wasn't acceptable to discuss the negative reputation dings, but there are other threads discussing reputation AND negative remarks left there.

You seem to have a lot of free time on your hands! Perhaps you should volunteer to become a moderator. I hear the pay is great!

I really resent that remark, maybe I should use the report bad post function.

Don't we have enough darn threads regarding reputation already :rolleyes:
