Why was https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=8818.0 locked

emski · September 16, 2014, 05:21:47 AM

I see someone unlocked the thread. Thanks whoever you are!
However I saw no explanation why the topic was locked. If it was an error a simple "oops sorry" would be enough.
I also cannot see who locked the topic so I can ask him privately about that.
I also did not get any response whatsoever.

Which rises some questions:
Am I posting in the right thread?
Who owns the forum?
Where are the forum rules ?
Who decides if a post/topic should be moderated? What criteria is used about that?

PS: If there is an admin here please feel free to move this topic anywhere applicable.

I personally think that:

Check the fucking forum every 3rd day and delete/close a random thread there, is the best we can hope/pray for, from any forum operator.

After all checking it more regularly will not help them in their troubles to install the delegate software... so why bother...

Anybody care to read 'their' forum?

Additionally I feel particularly bad as the last post in the thread is a post of mine:

'bump'

I'm guessing it was locked because the discussion was getting confusing and a little argumentative.

This is why when I make any moderately complicated proposal on this forum, I put it on Github as version-controlled Markdown files.

You are being ridiculous ...

Do you have ANY IDEA the kind of outrageous stuff I personally (and others) have posted on this forum ??? -My post have been ridiculed by tenths and tenths of posters. There also has been claims by the LTB founder that I3 owns 40 to 99% of all BTSX... Even such hugely damaging and obviously baseless accusations have been let stay...

Give me a break, this thread was ... just a talk.

There currently is no board moderator for that sub forum .. so it has to be a global moderator/administrator who locked it ..

I don't like it being locked without notice! That just sucks!!

That was exactly what I was fixing when it was locked.
I wrote much simpler and cleaner explanation and summary which took some time...
And now I lost it...
Anyway the beach is waiting for me... I hope I'll find some time to recreate it when possible.

weird...

who is the moderator of 'Bank & Exchange' sub-forum?

I have no reason to think it is cob... :). He is pretty trigger happy guy, I just hope for his own good, he does not own a real gun.

I hope it is just Bitsapphire having fat fingers and clicking on the wrong button.....

I was going to update the summary of the initial post as it was referring to original proposal and not the updates (that were significant).
However I saw it locked without explanation.
Can I ask why?
Here is the topic in question:
