Fighting is normal, being upset is normal. Closing threads just reignites the fire and without question, a new more ignorant thread will open.
I must admit that I liked it better when only Reggie would close threads that would get out of hand. It only ever took a PM to Reggie to say hey this is getting out of hand. However it seems now that threads seem to get closed constantly, or maybe its just the ones I am reading and wanting to respond to.
Additionally I VERY much disagree with making final statements, then saying closed.
I have been a screamer at Nokia in the past and I went on to be a council member.
Some people around here need to separate themselves from there feelings and let others have their rants. Why has this changed? Is it because Nokia has a perceived ownership, is it moderator madness? WTF??
There has to be a better way to deal with asshats who open complaining threads.
I personally would rather create a new section, called asshats and move all the potentially trolling threads to it. Then have them not show up under active topics, or on internettablettalk.com homepage (Am I the only one who still uses it as this entrance?)
Anyway, I personally think that very few things should cause a thread to close or a person to be booted. Slurs against race/religion/sex/sexual preference.
I hate Nokia or I love the Iphone IS NOT A VALID REASON. Saying Nokia screwed me and **** on me and ate my first born, just doesn't cut it for me.
This is all just my opinion, however I believe some of what goes on here is perpetuated by the people who are vigilantly trying to stop it.
There has to be a better way......
