But if you look at the thread, the way it's locked, all it says is "Closed". If only there would be given that statement you gave above, then that specific thread wouldn't have been brought into this discussion in the first place. And to add a little more to that subject, if you would take that situation and translate it to something in real life, where we have citizens and law enforcers. If the law enforcers stops a citizen from doing something, without giving reason, what would we call that? I would call that dictating, not democracy. Even if that law enforcer has a good reason to prevent the citizen from doing what it was doing, without giving the reason why that citizen should stop and just using his position to make it stop, thats pure dictatorship.
I don't think we wan't a pure democracy nor a dictatorship on this forum, some balance in between. And to reach everyones maximum satisfaction, listening to the community is actually a very important thing. So please, think back at all the threads that have been made, from back when this forum was just created to this very discussion, chatbox and skype discussions with all sorts of people, and do something with it. Don't go on the full defense in these debates, come to an agreement and don't let it get so out of hand like it is now.
