Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.

[vorlon13]

So many threads get closed these days. It's lame. That's my commentary.

I recently 'put down' some threads. I don't do it lightly, but in this case they were identical postings, most had no replies and were violating the TOS. Even then, I don't lightly do that. Despite a goodly number of admins and mods, sometimes action is warranted and there aren't too many staff on line to consult with. Forum software does allow us to highlight a thread so most of the members cannot see it but staff can, and that condition can be undone if upon reflection it is decided a given thread is OK. It's always a tough call for me to blip an entire thread even if the opening post in a thread violates the Terms of Service but there are responses to it that do not.
