well this approach is BOUND to work better!

Maybe there's a lesson in this; AT does not welcome biggots. I for one am perfectly fine with that. I'm sure there are plenty of other white-power/gay-child-aborting forums out there needing company.

Bad advice from the mod (who would've thought?)

Given the mods near zero tolerance of people questioning their decisions/rationale as of late this thread kind of seems like poking the tiger with a pointy stick....

Hmm, just saw that thread. I thought we could question mod actions in PFI? We used to stick up for vacationed/banned members all the time before? :confused:

Any way here it is for future reference,

1) Problems with another member? You can post it in PFI or PM the mod account about it.
2) If the problem is why a thread was locked by mods,? Post it in PFI as a question. It will be answered.
3) Problems with a regular mod on the personal level? Write a PM to the mod account.
4) Problems with a senior mod. Go to Derek. Never create a thread in PFI over the actions of any mod (reg or senior). The worst that can happen is it is construed as a mod call out.

This does not look good for the OP :p OP, you might want to request a lock and start begging your Mod Overlords for mercy right about....now!

BTW, I don't see what the fuss is over the 'WWYD if your kid was gay?" thread. From the very beginning, the thread had epic-potential. Barely a dozen replies and people started talking about 'post birth abortions'. Nobody got vacationed/banned - it was just a warning to keep discussion civil without resorting to hateful commentary.

Lots of folks have mentioned (in that thread) that they would be ashamed/disappointed but it's only the ones who weren't too...uhh... kind with their choice of words who got warned. So what really is the big deal?
