Closing thread abuse ~ "General discussion" about this subject

So, I was trying to reply to Mara's thread considering mods closing too fast. Despite the fact that I agree with him, irony on its strongest just came by. I hadn't even got the time to answer in here because apparently a mod closed it.

It was a normal discussion, the guy is asking if other people agree with him or not. I for example wanted to reply to him the following: http://puu.sh/58JE6.png, but didn't get the chance.
This was a normal discussion, nobody was flaming or spamming, the guy was just asking the opinion of other people in the community, not any of you mods. So basically you don't agree with it, you wont allow us to talk about it? What kind of power abuse is this (google / stephan)?

Give me 1 good solid reason, why us "the community" wouldn't be allowed to talk about something like this? I know for a fact that Google has a lot of problems accepting feedback from members of this community, but I thought Stephan was different (hope so). Don't tell me that it isn't necessary to discuss this, that its useless or anything. It's in general discussions, regarding the forum, regarding the forum moderators.


And please, continue the discussion on whether or not we think moderators are closing too soon.



@Google, if you can't handle the fact that normal users are criticizing your "job", then just stay out of it for now, and when there is a conclusion you should look at it. Don't get overexcited and lock this because someone is giving you feedback, try to make a positive thing out of it.

Its stephan no doubt

Easy, people attend to go off-topic REALLY fast and that always leads to big arguements and flame which would result into ban/mutes.
By locking the thread, they make sure that situation won't happen anymore so the issue won't get bigger.
Example ; https://freestylersworld.com/showthre...git-kids/page1 this thread should be closed a.s.a.p in my opinion because it's totally off topic even tho it's in the rage/ego section.
I bet some one in that thread will be reported and that would have consequences to that person.

If people start flaming the mods should remove the post and deal with the situation. They shouldn't wait till everybody has crossed the line and then close the thread. It often happens to me that I'm writing something and when trying to post it it says "Sorry - Thread is closed". And I'm just trying to get something in there, pretty sure I'm not the only one.

I do agree that if a thread contains nothing but hate and flame then yeah go ahead and lock the shit out of it, but its not just black and white, there are plenty of situations where maybe 1 or 2 posts can be removed and the discussion could go on.

Easy you just gave us a reason to show how lazy the mods are instead of dealing with the ppl that post those kind of stuff they just close the thread and seal the deal?, that seems pretty easy to me.

I did not lock that thread cause I felt you guys needed the space to argue about it (I guess).
But starting off with the first thread (the map question), I simply lock threads when a clear answer has been given thus I feel like there is nothing else to discus -> spam prevention.

Okay, so it was someone else. (I would like to know who it was).

You know what, I'll carry you to gold if you don't lock threads that easily in the future ;D?

Honestly this is being blown way out of proportion. Did they close the original threads too fast? Maybe so, but honestly if your thread was 3 weeks old and someone posted in it without automatic closing, I would close the thread for grave digging. In most cases month old information is not worth revisiting, and if it is you can always ask for the thread Yup be reopened.

For the most part this forum is kept clean, i don't see why a simple closing of a thread should cause a huge stir.

No that's no reason thats just a dude that wants some attention, there are forum moderators for some reason right? this community isn't 100% serious about threads like this so there will ALWAYS be ppl doing that.

Mods can just remove that post.

I don't even know why grave digging is being brought up, but something must be wrong with the people saying that. This isn't about grave digging, nor about the automatically closing threads that aren't replied in for 2 weeks. Don't bring up useless arguments already. It's about fresh threads being closed too soon, closing without reason which I feel happens a bit too often. All I'm asking is whether or not people agree with it, and what might be the solution. I'm not saying threads are supposed to be left open forever, I'm not saying mods shouldn't close any thread whatsoever. I'm just saying, that it might be happening a bit too often. So maybe, for future actions, mods can take the communities vote into consideration and maybe clean up some spammers instead of locking everything straight away.

Now you are just making no sense at all. This thread of yours is the succession of Mara's correct? May I quote the first posts of his thread.

Anyways, what's your opinion? Do they close your threads too early? Or for insignificant reasons, like a single troll?

---

Three years is a grave dig sir, don't turn this around on me saying that I am bringing up useless discussion, you are the one who made this thread. I agreed that Mara's thread was closed to early but said that grave digging is something I would moderate with or without the automatic closing of threads. My comment is totally relevant. Overall I see this whole thing as another "moderation team vs the world" type deal and it is rather annoying. You want your thread opened, ask for it to be opened. It isn't that difficult; I dealt with it for months with my developer pieces, seeing that they would be closed before I finished a project. (Note I am still in disagreement with the closing of Mara's thread. I am simply stating under ordinary conditions there is no problem in how threads are treated.)

to be honest, I think once someone starts typing like a ''14 yer eld'' the thread has gone to shit.
It's rather sad to see how many people on this forum try to act like they're stupid, as if it is that much fun.

''im br hueheuheeue hheueheuheue im best pro fgunsz since 08' u newgen phuck'' < This is stuff you'll see really, really often. Not nessecarily this sentence but u get the point.
If I was a mod I wouldn't be bothered with deleting these either, cause posts like these are literally in every thread.

I think closing the thread could ultimately lead to the mods showing other forum visitors that childish behaviour is not tolerated and that their bullshit will eliminate the fun for everyone.
Too bad a lot of people come here solely to troll and will get a kick out of a thread being closed after writing down a shit ton of bullshit on it.

(I often catch myself acting like a childish doucebag on here too, because it seems like that is just the way to behave. you'll see that this reflects in game too, before I wrote stuff like ''hueheuehe si protetos si el si pro jajaj si'' and was a more serious type I attracted a lot of haters. Now, when I act like a kid a lot more people seem to like me, which I find weird.)

The reason I made this thread was not only because I wanted to state my opinion in the Mara's thread, but also because I've been having this several times now. I never mentioned grave digging or anything like it, it was purely about threads being closed too soon (I don't know how often I'm going to have to repeat this). Bringing grave digging into this discussion seems pretty pointless to me, I agree that old threads are being closed after inactivity of 2 weeks.

I don't understand why you keep thinking it's about older threads being closed, that I can just PM them to re-open them. It's about discussions that just started, and already being shut for no reason.

You calling this some "moderation team vs the world" is quite undermining and pathetic, something you're are probably rather good at. People from time to time have been saying that threads are being locked too often, or for no reason. I'm just trying to point out, once again, that it shouldn't happen that quickly. And if you're getting annoyed by the fact that the "community" is saying something, whether thats 1 person or an entire group, than you should re-consider your function here. I'm not trying to say you're doing a bad job, but honestly if you just go yell out that you think this is some kinda pathetic action from people who are annoyed, than you just don't belong in that position.

The forum is here not only for information but to have discussions with each other, locking them quickly isn't going to help anything. And the reasons given in the past for saying it might just become some spam topic or whatsoever is just plain bullshit. As a moderator you're supposed to guide the conversation the right way, take action upon those who aren't taking any positive influence in the discussion, remove spam and infract flamers. Not just locking it all up to prevent something that might just happen...

I'm glad Robert finally made a thread about this since he's the only one the staff actually take seriously. I've made and seen hundreds of threads that get locked in the span of 5minutes to 1 day. It's the biggest piss off too see when people are having a clean good argument or having a nice conversation and the thread gets locked right away because mods don't like what they see. They need to realize it's not what they like or not, it's what the community likes. The only time a thread should be locked if it's going off-topic by FAR, A LOT of flaming, or a thread that people WANT locked.

Lol, I know me and my *****s can relate to this one very well.
Shoutouts to Lemon, Moh, Bashy, Ekital, Jin, etc.

Lmfaooooooo, hahahah I don't mind that thread being locked cause it was an obv troll, but instead of Dave getting butthurt he made it funnier. Not too mention Google's abusing his power in that thread to comment when it was already locked. :33333333333333333333

The thread locks are bleh.

Here's what I don't understand:

When a mod closes a thread, that means the discussion is over because of spam/the answer being given/ ect...
So, why is it that after mods close threads they feel the need to add their input as if what they say is more superior than what anyone else thinks.

Not naming names or anything, but how is that fair to the rest of the community who may want to reply to what that particular mod just said.

If you are going to close a thread, don't close it with your input as if your opinion is the all powerful right one. That's unfair and in my opinion dictatorial.

I agree with this, Most threads asking for other opinions get closed way to early, why?

This a forum, we discuss things that pretain to the topic. If someone goes off-topic it is your job as forum moderators to just delete the post, and tell the person not to go off topic, Simple as that.

Okay, and what if other people want to post and express their opinion on the topic. Closing threads just because you give us "A clear answer" is just wrong to me. Mara asked for opinions on it, not an answer. Why is it when a forum moderator puts in their 2 cents, it ends up being the answer we've all been lookng for. It's the "Clear Answer". How can you justify a forum moderator closing a thread when the thread was really just asking for input.

This topic is being blown way out of proportion. Why is grave digging, flaming, spamming and trolling even being brought up here that's Off-topic. Just delete those post and let the other users express their view on it. The thread was on the threads being closed to early, Not making useless post.

In closing, Just do your job. The topic was about Closing threads that have just been made. Just wait until the thread has been up for a good amount of days with no replys and close them. Seemp pole.

I think this is the brightest thing you've ever said /Clap /Clap. I agree.

I think some of the things realized in this thread should be brought to light, this forum is starting to feel like Nazi Germany.

Example :

GRACEFULL:
Thats just it Stephan, this is an open Forum, not a Tech Support line, further discussion should be allowed even if the question was answered.

I can see the point she is trying to make.

GOOGLE:
As I stated before, no threads are closed while they are active in a positive way.

Older threads are closed automatically.

You should read what people write instead of complaining for nothing.


Once again, older threads are closed automatically, that's why your threads were closed.

Guess what?

Closed.

(These Forum Mods are cocky as ****)

There is a line between speaking your mind and just being insulting. Comparing our staff members to Nazis would be crossing that line.

I have no problem with this thread continuing, but please keep it clean. I have no problem with opinions, but that does not mean you can be outright mean.

I have no intentions of attacking anyone directly, it's just general feeling I get when I go to respond and it's already been closed after 4 replies. It just feels less out of our control than it should be, and really we shouldn't even be aware of the Forum Mod's presence until they post.

I feel like no Forum Mod would ever just say sorry I'll try to work on that, they have to make something of it. Maybe I'm wrong though. It happens enough.

I understand that, but there are dozens of other ways you can display your point wouldn't you say? Listing direct names and saying things like "cocky as ****" is bound to pull some people's triggers if you know what I mean.

The way you have stated things makes it feel as a personal attack. Don't get me wrong, you aren't the only one I am saying this to, you were just the last one to do it, so I quoted you when I posted.

Well yeah, but if you look at the reasoning behind calling Google a cocky f***, you might agree. After another point made on this discussion(a disscussion that obviously has to be had) he turns around and says "Guess what, closed." Like I should just shut my mouth? My personal reaction is that kid is a cocky f***. :P

It looks like the Forum Mods have decided not to reply to this quite yet,maybe they're waiting for 5 minutes to go buy without anyone posting so they can lock it.

I am a forum mod, the rest have went to bed for the night.

I would like to note if you feel that someone has incorrectly moderated your post, or a staff member has done something out of line, simply report it and the action will be taken accordingly. It is very hard for us to deal with issues in a public setting (such as a thread), especially when issues such as this one are fairly unique to one another. I would suggest next time you feel so strongly about an issue, instead of posting it (in which you become the bad guy, with a forum mod deleting and infracting you for posts), just report the issue, and let it go through the proper channels. You don't have to deal with the moderator of your thread, there are many of us, including administration. This is how issues are supposed to be handled.

Yeah I'm aware of this, but in my eyes this wasn't a problem worthy of reporting. I just wanted to state my opinion on the matter, see if anyone agree's and maybe actions would change according to certain realizations. I've been getting nothing but bullheaded responses about it aside from you of course Wucas, you da man. But anyways, I'm starting to feel the pointlessness of this thread, just request reopen's if you've been wrongly closed. Lesson to be learned here for sure.

In my opinion to prevent the questioning of anyone with forum powers and minimize doubt within the community it would be best for the person who is closing a thread would state why they are doing so.

I can imagine it annoying some people to find that their thread (or a thread they were interested in) was closed and no reason given on why it has been closed. Even if the reasons are clear to you it may not be so clear to others unfortunately.. That is common practice among many forums and found it kinda odd seeing that always isn't the case here.

Most of the threads that have been closed in General Discussion that didn't have a reason where quite self explanatory but I guess it just needs to be spelled out to some people. I believe doing that would also prevent threads like this because then people know who/when/why and if they had a problem it can be addressed directly to the person that has closed it.

As for posts that have been deleted I think it would be a good idea for the mod to notify the user (via PM system) that a post of theirs has been deleted with the link to the thread and reason for the post deletion. Or maybe make the soft delete function viewable to the affected person. I know admins and super mods can see all soft deletes by default but I don't believe the affected user can and I don't think a normal user can do so without being given inline moderation permissions unfortunately unless something has changed since I have last used vb.

So, a lot of people tend to agree with me. Apparently I wasn't the only one having these feelings. So maybe we can work on some kinda solution / agreement among the forum moderators not to close threads too quickly, and what katsuro said to give a reason why you're closing?

I wasn't really butthurt though, I actually enjoyed to ban them. ;)

OT:
So basically, you guys want us to give more infractions to people who spam in threads which causes the thread lock?
I can not just change the moderator's mind, every person has their own point of view on a thread and if a -stupid- thread deserves to be locked, then it shall be locked.

Would be more useful if you guys actually link me to threads which have been locked without a good reason so I know what you're referring to.
If it's regarding a complaint about staff members, it's better to PM me since a thread like this will only cause a negative effect.

I don't think changing a mods mind is necessary at all nor is changing they way they are currently moderating. I believe they are currently doing their job just fine for the most part. Like I said in my previous post, it would be nice if mods can just state why they locked a thread (obvious or not for slow peoples sake). That way if someone had a issue or felt the lock was inappropriate the person can contact the mod that locked it rather than making a thread like this and involving the community. That would prevent people questioning locks and threads questioning mod abuse.

I'll link threads in the future, don't feel like digging back to threads that might have been locked for no reason. In the beginning it would indeed cause more infractions then usually would've been given out. But within time people should learn not to troll every thread they come across, which then would lead to less trolling and flaming.

Closing the thread will only be the opposite of the reason why I made it. We can let the thread die, if nobody feels like sharing anything in this, it'll close itself after 2 weeks. But if someone, who might have been away or decided to talk some more about the subject, then they should be able to.

There is no reason to "lock' this, right? As in other threads, same idea.

I suppose in a sense your correct, but a lot of valid points have been made here over a span of two nights. I only said that because I personally wouldn't have an issue with it. I can see what you mean though. Keep it up!

There is literally nothing that can be brought up on this topic.

You guys feel that threads are closed early, we heard the message loud and clear. This is not a normal thread in which issues are discussed, it is a sensitive issue that deals with the practices of forum moderating. Simply put, threads like this get spammed to infinity way faster than we can moderate it. That is why topics like these are closed early, and it seems rather logical to me. Also note, looking back at this thread we have insults upon many members of staff, that is reason enough to close this thread right here and now.

If you want to forum moderate your way, apply for it next time it comes around and pass the trial. I'm sorry, but I forum mod on the side, I don't wish to be cleaning up threads like this one all damn day.

Seriously, there is little to no insulting or flaming going on in here, you just seem to overreact lol. Stop taking this so personal / negative. If only you'd try to show your best in here and maybe agree with some of the users, instead of being so stubborn saying "There is literally nothing that can be brought up on this topic". Thats what YOU think, so if you're done with this then be my guest and don't reply here anymore, but maybe others want to state your opinion.

I think cleaning this thread up is far from necessary, it'll cost you little to no time, don't over react.

There are a half dozen posts in this thread that are disrespectful to staff, someone compares staff to Nazis, another posts a picture of Stalin. Why do you think I am just speaking about you?
