Time to throw this in the right freaking forum

now I have a series of questions that I would love answers to. (screw the bullets, too pissed to try to deal with them)
1) Why was the second link locked. I grow highly disturbed when a thread is locked in Distributed Computing even though it deals with Distributed Computing (loss of a member). While you normal members don't give a rat's ass if somebody says they are leaving in other forums, we (team anandtech) actually like to have our membership rise instead of drop.
2) There were points raised, and the biggest one is why the hell is nickdakick banned but your precious Elite Member Red Dawn not banned. Red Dawn has made it a mission in the past to post on every one of Paulson's threads bashing him.
3) Why *NOW* are the moderators finally trying to prevent member bashing? This should have been done from the start, but you (admin) are trying this both ways. Allowing members to get flamed on their pissed off goodbyes in the forum issues. Allowing members to get flamed in fs/ft even before all the facts are laid out. It is either all or nothing, you want to ban flaming, DO IT. If you don't want to ban flaming, then for Anand's sake, unban nick.

PF, I also agree. I don't know what this forum is becoming, but I think nick has the right to at least know why he has been banned!! I know it was for something he said about Paulson, but Paulson didn't seem to mind... If we are going to all of a sudden ban for flaming, lets be consistant. As for you others that didn't even care when he said he was leaving, I don't know what your problem is. Ever member in this place counts, so don't look away when someone says they are having trouble!! I am hoping this will be properly worked out, and if nickadick will continue to be banned, then I think we all, or at least he should know why.
I've seen better things happen in these forums, and I think all of us mature members agree. We will not let this place go down hill.

Thanks guys, keep it real.

I've always thought there has been a huge double standard. :(. I don't know Nick, but I think that people should be giving a warning and reason before they are banned.

Doesn't the second thread also belong in OT? Mybe that's why it was locked.

Mod, maybe you could spare a few seconds from your o-so busy schedule to answer this one? I'm rather interested in the answer as well.

No reason to be angry. We talked about it and everything was OK. No brownnosing involved. :D

PF,

I hate to tell you this, but we don't own, nor do we run the DC forum; Anand, and by extension, his moderators do. Threads get locked. Get over it.

Russ, NCNE

Russ, taken out of context, I would not mind if certain threads were locked (a ceratin growing Igrnore this thread thread rings a bell).
