Why don't you tell us why this isn't allowed anymore? Can the lady (why don't you tell us who this is?) who decided to close the tread
come in and explain why these aren't allowed anymore? Wouldn't that be the more democratic thing? Tell us what went wrong and we'll probably agree to act in accordance, rather than just locking and banning for the actions of a few. Judging from your signature, you don't seem to really be too happy about this move either. Let's all hug it out and work to a better understanding of each other's needs. We need fayul, you need people to not do something. There's no reason those two things can't coexist.
Sorry to be vague.
Why don't you tell us why this isn't allowed anymore?
I explained in my first post above and it's explained in the
Jackass thread
Can the lady (why don't you tell us who this is?) who decided to close the tread

Siu, explained herself in the
Jackass thread when she locked it. Recreating a closed thread does not address the problem.
Wouldn't that be the more democratic thing?
Yes. And I would say she explained it then and I did so above. Also, I'm keeping this thread open for discussion as opposed to making a statement then sticky-ing it, locking it, and leaving it for all to read. That would be a d*ck move.
All of this stuff isn't set in stone. Mods and Admins are people, too. We can be persuaded. But, like I mentioned earlier, Siu is my superior. I can't unlock a thread that she locked. I mean I
could, but THAT would be a d*ck move, too.
I'm headed to the velodrome. I'll check in on this in a few hours.
