i`m not trying to cause any trouble but....

[JEDIYoda]

First of all I have time and again complimented the MOD`s for the great work that they do in moderating threads!!
Yet-- lately it sdems like anything that is posted even justifisably so relating to KERRY gets locked almost immediately.
Yet that one Kerry thread is allowed to ramble on and on when in fact there is new news on this subject.
Yet to only allow the new news on this subject to be added to that one thrad is shall we say misleading?

Nobody who might possibly be wanting to post is going to read all 400+ posts before they post.

Jsat asking.....thx

Could it be that there are numerous threads posted about the latest snafu by kerry and the mods think one is enough?

maybe the rest are locked for being reposts? Perhaps the mods are not reading the content for updated info.

 

[JEDIYoda]

truth be told it was a totally different gaff that Kerry made back in 1972.....
But I was just asking

Maybe this a TECH site and they don't feel like babysitting you guys. They have those other sub-forums not to make you happy, but to keep you from polluting what most people come here for.

your point.....
then why even have an off topic or a P&N forum....
Me thinks you have no clue....lol

Gosh, I thought the only posts that got locked in the P&N forum were news items that weren't about politics or violence.

You're right. Let's get rid of OT and P&N. No loss there. There are other forums for politics and the keyboard social club. AT doesn't need that. They have OT and P&N so you have somewhere to post what would otherwise screw up a TECH forum. 5,000 posts in one year means you are not giving out tech advice. We know where you reside. Continue with your "LOL" replies...

Their not going to get rid of OT or P&N because that is a large chunk of users. More users more ad money. Also, why not have an OT or P&N? You don't have to visit them if you don't want to.

I can't fault the mods in doing their tasks.
If something gets out of hand, they will lock it and that's that.
This is a computer-oriented forum for those who need help from others or willing to help others.
I commend the mods for keeping it that way.
They "babysit" and peruse all the threads constantly and we need to appreciate them more often, for a job well done.
Thanks, Mods :thumbsup:

I agree lets get rid of P&N and OT......they serve no useful purppose other than to draw attention away from the TECH aspect of these forums...

Been here for 3 years and only 810 posts....you are aware this is NOT just a tech site???
