So, why is it that moderators or other staff lock threads which do not appear to violate any known rules with no notifications of what the reason was?
I'm not saying that if rules are inadvertently broken that action should not be taken, but how the fluff do you expect people to respect this place if threads just get locked and no on site explanation is given. I even checked the email I used to register (which I do not check often) just in case, but nothing there either.
The thread in question is linked to in my signature. One of the moderators of that forum posted a few times saying only nice things, so whatever happened even that person obviously is not in on it...
Explanation?
I'm quite confused by this apparently random act of belligerence. At least I can view it as nothing else since no explanation of any kind was given anywhere.
I can see why people complain about the moderation here. Having run quite a few forums myself over the years (from Art sites to Porn sites to Science Education sites!) I like to think I know how to conduct myself. And the first thing any moderator needs to know is that any action taken that directly effects a user MUST be explained to that user. Failing to do that is just ... unprofessional at best and incompetent at worst. There is no way to learn how to avoid similar situations in the future without that very basic courtesy.
