well it's in the lounge, so as long as it stays on topic, friendly and no one attacks/picks on other members I see no reason why it would be lockedWell said! I have a feeling this tread is going to be locked, however. Hope we can have an good discussion about this topic.

I know of a recent situation this thread is in response to, and I was one of the people that reported the OP of that thread to get Mods support. Honestly, that whole thread should've been deleted. It was a thread started by someone in a bad mood from dealing with a common vendor. It's those situations that threads shouldn't be created. The OP of that thread should've stopped and taken a breather before posting. Instead it created a lot of angst and frustration for the OP and all who got involved.
Edit: I won't lie though, I got a good laugh from many of the responses I that thread too.
I Really did not like how that thread was handled. Mostly on the side of those responding to the thread and not the OP. People just assume that everyone is tech savvy and owns all the latest gear. That's not the case for ALOT of older people, my grandparents certainly don't have cell phones or cameras.
Clearly the OP was upset about the situation and people just antagonized it further. Which I think was the real issue, things got heated and I think everyone needed to just take a step back. I don't think it should have been moved and everyone's posts deleted, but that's just me.
Yes, that person would be held accountable and not the entire thread, the issue becomes when it spirals out of control and most responses are either off topic or attacking someone. If that happens, the thread gets locked. Could we just remove all the offending comments? Sure, but having to keep coming back to the thread and remove comments becomes very time consuming and we all have lives out of R2R so we lock it and move on. Never has one comment gotten a thread lockedThanks - And this is exactly part of the question - lets say 'someone attacks'... Shouldn't that person be held accountable - as compared to the entire thread? Again - I feel like im tiptoeing on eggshells here Like anything I say could be used against me lol
Again - I want to reiterate something. I love this site. I think the intentions are good. I think anyone that has to moderate a forum is probably a saint. I have no vendetta or complaint against anyone here. So @Shep I appreciate your response.
Actually - its a policy - any thread complaining about 'a vendor' is supposed to be only between the vendor and the customer. Its moved to the vendor feedback column - and all of the responses are deleted. Actually - thats fine with me - no objection. But - then why are positives left in the forum they were posted in (i.e. not moved)?

A lot of people come to forums for reefing because of the common question "Whats wrong with my fish?!". The fact Humble has moved over to RC is unsettling to me. A pillar of this site has left it for various/assorted reasons and I don't think its necessarily an attitude problem but the focus on the forum has seemed to be off for a couple months to say the least.
I don't really have a solution to offer but the R2R focus on things like a makeover and market place seem secondary to the experience right now.
Maybe we need a thread called " Welcome to charm school, where anyone and everyone is welcomed." Not bad, right?
The point of my post - 'something seems different' - and to me - its not a positive. However - I love the site. I think the intentions are good - and again - if this had to do with one person (Humble) I would have said it. It does not - I don't go to RC - so I dont know whether he is there or not. But 'something seems different'
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my.....Remember I'm watching you, I know you spend day and night on R2R! ;Watching;Watching;Watching;Watching
Unfortunately - its against policy to use vulgarity - or simulated vulgarity
