Moderating a debate, or a dispute for that matter, is not at all the same thing as moderating a communitys website. The words are the same but the definitions are not. English is a stupid language, doesn't mean you get a pass when you don't allow for it's stupidity.
Locking is one tool that is absolutely necessary for forum moderation. If you think otherwise then you obviously were not here when Boltz was at his best/worst. The purpose of having forum rules is so that you know before hand what will get a thread locked.

"Locking is moderating." - You
So you think that people who derail a thread should be able to cause a thread to be locked?

Locking has become the viable alternative to actual moderating.
You were suggesting that locking was the only tool, when I was suggesting that there were alternatives that should have been used in many of the circumstances.
Mods have a lot of tools at their disposal, but thread locking has become their tool of choice.

People, if you are not interested in a thread, just ignore it, stop trying to derail everything. The title was fine, the content was fine and it had some interest by some people. If tracking titles/rings/trophies is not your thing, then whatever is, go do it and I expect people to leave you alone while you do that.
...but i was interested right up until the point where you shot down what Dub J's input into it, which in turn, discredited your thread's value ...the title was not fine, and the interest to it was low at best before us 'jackwads' became involved

Don't bother responding in this thread with your incorrect arguments about the title of the thread I made, just let shit go and move on if you aren't interested.
this thread should have been locked already by now, but if you going to make up a thread to attack, undermine and disrespect me on a forum that i am currently active on, then obviously I am going to call you out ...ok mr mods, you can ban me and lock this thread now coz it was another stupid thread by mwoods which am starting to realize how it reflects his intellect

I think you are only here to create discontent, and nothing more.
BTW a hook thread is a made up term...
and GLB defines it as:
Hook Threads:
•
Starting a thread with a title that grabs mass attention but the contents of the thread are not related.
Nice try though, but you clearly don't even understand that either...2 fails in one day...probably far from a record for you.
Let me help you, like bhall helped you earlier:
Hook thread =
Title: GLB is going to be giving away flex for a day.
Body: I am the greatest GLB player ever, you can't touch this!
Title has nothing to do with the thread...

First mwoods creates a terrible hook thread and now he's trying to incite a forum riot.
30 day ban imo
The guy is clearly a loose cannon.

Very underrated post imo.

duh, your previous thread was exactly that coz the title is misleading because of the way that you structured the sentence and the OP talks about something else!

yeah you can just sit back now and continue to poke comments without proof to back it up coz your friends will do the fighting for you, and i will be made to look like the one that has the problem but am still just defending myself from you and your admirers ...it just coz i choose not to let you win, is why this continues to drag on ...coz it all about the win, that's all you care about here!
