Okay, I'm not trying to be rude here, and I'm not trying to be harsh either. I am posting this just to make sure ALL admins and mods know and understand what the hell is going on here.

First of all, I have recently seen way too many unreasonable locks for a lot of topics, because someone has been considering them as spam even if it doesn't look like there is. If it is just looks "spammy" to you (but is not spam), then there is no actual reason for a lock. If it really IS spam, I can see that. I'm not just talking to one person here, I'm expressing this to EVERYONE!

In addition to that, I just want to make a friendly reminder that there is NO need to take sides over someones issue while being against someone else with a warning or a ban (even if they did do something wrong, the person who causes the mess first is to blame). I have seen this happen at Peach Paradise, and we seriously don't need that here.

I strongly apologize for posting something like this. I just want to make sure the admins do their job right and not screw up. If something goes wrong, it'll completely mess up the forum itself.

I hope you all know and understand the situation.

Mushroom Boy.

Well, i do believe that admins should do a little better, but, who really have to do so are us, the members. I'll be sincere, many users will agree with me that Lady_Scarlet is the spammiest member in PT! Just look at her topics, her posts...and, i bet that she was the user SPAMMER.

Don't worry MB, i'm sure the admins are doing their best. And, you would be banned for this if they were the Forum Inquisition. :o

I somewhat agree with what you said about Lady Scarlet. However, all of her posts aren't that spammy.

And... How the hell would I be banned for this? Can you please be more specific on that? It really bothers me when something goes wrong here. :angry:

About banning you it was a joke, they can't do that for this, i know it.

But, about Lady Skan...i mean Scarlet, it's true that all of her post aren't spam, but most of them are.

To not make this post spam:

About the unreasonable locks, well, i think i saw Sphax locking a thread once because it was a terrible flamewar, and, you should investigate more if they're locked unfairly.

From what Toadsiliwraith told in my topic, the admins can't keep their eyes on everything, so, they can't lock the REAL spammy topics. Also, maybe it's because of too much work they have that they barely have time to analyze the topics.

I'm not saying the admins don't do their work properly, my respect to them.

You're right. They can't investigate everything. Even so, you still need to be very careful when you do something like this. I'm an admin for another Peach forum, so I know what it is like sometimes.

Why do I have a feeling that this thread is specifically targeted toward Sphax?

Also, I've only seen like one or two threads locked. So I'm not sure on what you're talking about. I'm also assuming the "sides" thing is a personal matter bring dragged onto a forum.

Well, you might not agree with the admins, but it's stated in the ToS. You have to comply with the Administrator's meaning of spam. I've only seen a couple threads locked. That's not a lot, is it?

Also, I think SOME mods aren't doing their job properly. UsernamenotFound said she saw a huuuge disturbance on the forum a while ago. I logged on afterwards and saw that it was true. Lots of nasty posts were made. I looked, at the online list and saw the spammers, as well as one, Peach_Lover. Did he do anything to clean up the posts? No. UNF IM'd Sphax over Windows Live and HE cleaned all of it up. If anything, you should be thankful for the admins.

Spammers? I didn't see any Sparkz, can you please give names? I think i know who might be one of them, also, great job Sphax. And, did the spammers go? Or are they still members of PT?

UNF, i think the same, i think this topic has been targeted towards Sphax, i remember watching a fight between him and MB.

Thank you UNF and Sparkz both. I too have a strong feeling this is directed at me because I don't put up with your crap as nicely as other admins. And why the heck are YOU making sure we do our jobs right? You don't run this forum in any way.

Ever heard of lying? I bet you have. I have no doubt this is aimed at me. Just because you say that doesn't mean you're telling the truth, which in this case I'm sure you're not.

First and foremost, I can safely say that I am doing my best around the forums to keep things progressing as best they can without censorship or totalitarianism, alongside a few of my fellow admins. Some of us have had quite the experience on many Internet forums and as a result, we know what to expect from certain happenings if they develop too far. Case in point, Sphax locking a Princess Peach discussion over the "reality" we must deal with; given the atmosphere events were heading into, even I would have locked the topic.

When it comes to debates and in depth discussion, some people need to be a little more open minded and tolerant of other points of view and reasoning. Many of you here have proven yourselves to be very capable of such discussion, and it would be grand if that can continue. Sadly, I feel it's really the same 6 or 7 members that are really here and contributing on a semi-regular-regular basis, and it's not allowing much room for differentiation of opinion.

I have said this time and time before, but I strongly encourage people to use the Report Function, which frankly, NO one is using for spring up issues like spammy topics. It helps admins get on top of these matters faster (especially myself, since I check my e-mail regularly), and makes everyone's life a lot happier and easier.

Finally, in regards to your own point, many people can vouch for the admins here being as reasonable, objective and fair as possible in regards to problems and the operation of the forums themselves. Whilst I am all for critique on what we do, being told how to run a forum to meet your personal criteria certainly isn't on my list of consideration. That's what creating your own forum is for.
