@Pimpcy Look I'm just trying to get some consideration on how threads should be locked in no way was I pressing on for everyone to do more work when literally it barely requires much effort to rethink a decision for OTHERS. lets say my old art thread was alive again and it got out of hand from people , a staff member just comes up and "locks" it to deal with everyone. I'm left to re create an old thread and try reposting all my work since it got off topic and people got rowdy. This is merely an example no need to get over the head with purely on that thought however it relates on how things are dealt with.
They way you think threads should be locked does not equate to the way that benefits Craftymynes most.
It's easier and far more effective to lock down certain threads, than having to delete multiple posts and suspend multiple members, if we do this the forums would be essentially empty.
It's not hard to repost your old work, it's only links I can even provide the exact text and links if you so desire, a minutes work at best. Much better than warning multiple players who usually behave.
@Pimpcy This topic isn't about putting players in their place like cattle dude it's about reconsidering the use of power Just because dark isn't a staff member it doesn't deem his opinion as false right then and there for all I know we could say you're a staff and your view is delusional as well for not being a full player makes no sense doesn't it? He didn't even mention banning right off the bat he described a step of warnings beforehand People have gotten warnings before on here right? Staff watch the threads plenty well.
Experience is key, staff have been handling the server for a long time and most of the forum moderation often goes unseen, we therefore have a better understanding of the requirements to keep Craftymynes and nice and friendly place than normal players, so no this isn't putting players in their place, it's pointing the large gap in experience between the two opinions which should be taken into account. Would you trust your doctors opinion over that of a randomer ? It's important to take into account this.
That doesn't necessarily mean his opinion is wrong no but as pointed out, warning and suspending multiple players over issues causes even more disruption and bad blood than locking a single thread.
Warnings are also hard to quantify and keep track of, arguing isn't necessarily against the rules so if we start giving warnings for doing so in threads that aren't appropriate without first having given prior warning in the thread it would be pretty unfair.
@Pimpcy Again you flew off the handle with this one, this was used to help understand suggestions aren't bad and you have nothing to fear. Whether you don't think it Players have came to me weary of making suggestions or rethinking decisions Staff make.
l m a o this is a discussion If we can freely express things as you said why are you calling our opinions grudges
How have I "Flew of the handle" I have explained precisely why what you are suggesting isn't the best idea and locking threads in many cases is more effective and a better solution, are staff not allowed to express their own opinion or question the logic behind others ? There's nothing to justify that statement.
Everyone has the right to have their opinion expressed and considered however that does not mean that opinion is free from questioning. Players are free to make suggestions and everyone is free to debate the merits of them from staff to normal players, no one has infringed upon that right. What you are describing already exists.
When did I call your opinions grudges ? Why do you keep claiming I have said things despite not having done so ?
PS: This isn't even a suggestions thread.
