Re: suggestion for this board: not locking every f**king topic
I've resorted to using a [ list ] to make things clearer. I hope that doesn't make it more confusing.

This was locked (not sure if I did it, just remember I agreed) because the OP requested it...PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=454&start=10
...and because there were already threads on that subject:can i ask to have this removed as it anoys some people that i have double posted
on gpx32 as well as here
Over on GP32X there is a lengthy discussion on XBMC, so you might find some of that interesting. There are quite a few good threads there (and some dross too..) -
Moderator explained his actions, and even suggested feedback if anyone felt locking was unnecessary:PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=441&start=30
I think that there have been plenty good answers to the OP's question, so I'm going to lock it now before it gets really Off-topic. If he feels that this is inadequate, he can PM me to reopen the topic. -
This is the same link/topic to the first link you gave.PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=400

This is really subjective. The topic was closed because everyone was repeating themselves, nothing was getting done, and the mood was generally tense (again, subjective). Perhaps this one could've been done without, but at the same time no harm was done since other threads with the exact same topic existed.PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3&start=170

I think I gave adequate reasons when I locked the topic. It was very much a duplicate thread:PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=539
I feel your frustration, but you asked this twice already...
viewtopic.php?p=6560#p6560
viewtopic.php?p=6562#p6562
...and you were told how to solve your problem:

viewtopic.php?p=6586#p6586

Yea, that lock was unnecessary. I didn't make it a big deal, but this didn't need to happen, necessarily.PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=462&start=10

The thread you're linking is a duplicate topic made three days after the first topic was written. The second thread was closed because it was reducing to mere banter. Whether or not this is a good reason is something I can't say with authority.PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=315&start=10 (i love how the thread they link to for us to continue our discussion was later closed by the same person)

Duplicate thread. Valid close.PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=521

The original thread was whether or not the Pandora could open 360 degrees. The topic then switched to whether or not the Pandora could be modded that way. At this point there's two topics: modding, and opening to 360 degrees. The moderator here decided that it was better to discuss any modding in the general "modding" thread. Subjective, no?PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=334&start=10

Duplicate thread. Perfectly valid lock.PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=413

The topic was more of the same old "can we have this", which, if that's all it was, wouldn't have been locked, but on top of that it spiraled into randomness.PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=414&start=20

This thread was requesting the photos, and the photos were posted. The pictures were then being discussed in the News thread. This was a good lock.PoisonedV said:http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=520&start=20

Yes, that is one thing. Kyosys, myself, and SteveM are people I can think of off the top of my head, where I saw the posts made by these people later and thought "ouch, tad off". It's never been bad enough, though, or else I would have brought it up in the appropriate forum, or even used the report button.PoisonedV said:not to mention all the ones that have been pointlessly moved or anything else.
funny that about half the time its the mods going off topic.
About the moved threads: those were moved to the right places. I've got no argument against those.
- Overall, there was only one or two bad locks, mostly good ones, and a few others were subjective and on fairly harmless threads. The moderators (including myself) might need to focus a bit more on following the rules so as to create a positive image of OpenPandora and the staff here, but it really isn't that bad... yet.
