Very frustrating....but probably very good timing also! 😆* - Highly dubious whether he actually was American due to his usage of our "cheque" rather than "check"! Oh, duh!

Removing it from history, if you will, is a bit disingenuous. I mostly agree with this, but I do think there are times when threads should disappear. Some because they are just pure troll and serve no purpose, and I don't just mean the darling doxxer. For various reasons I wish the "feelings" thread would have been removed... sensitive issues and all. I don't understand why some get removed, like the feminist thread, and some don't (like 100 others). I don't understand why some individual posts get removed quickly and other things even worse are allowed to remain for days or permanently. I don't understand why some people get slapped, even suspended, for extremely minor infractions and others get nothing for the same thing or worse. It's puzzling and annoying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are some threads just locked while others are disappeared? Its simple.. pr.. they hide what ever looks bad enough to them, that might bring them in a bad light to others. thing is just because someone else thinks its bad enough to be hidden doesn't mean they do. They are after all the gods of the forums not anyone else. the ones the dont hide they probably believe have more value to be allowed to be seen then the ones they hide.

Well I'd say sometimes they make the correct decision and sometimes not, and it can be hard to know what the right decision is. Same with all the decisions I must make in my own life.

Same with all the decisions I must make in my own life. see that is the point there is no right decision, its just their's and no one elses, and it doesn't really matter what anyone else feels is right or not at the end of the day. their choices are guided by pr choices.. they cannot allow some threads to remain showing too much hostility between users. because it gives sl a bad name to anyone that might come here looking for help or new to sl and thinking about joining. it easier to lock and hide the entire thread then to try and go through and moderate each post and make changes to what was said to make it sound more friendly or nice. the amount of time and effort and energy required to do the later over the former is too much for LL to invest in.

There are people I don't care to interact with, but massive blank blocks everywhere would be confusing and frustrating. Prior to the last few weeks, I had only ever put a few people on ignore for short time periods mostly as a time-out for me from them so that I would stop engaging. The last few weeks got a bit too contentious, more so than usual around here -- at least, IMO. I popped a few on ignore for my own sanity. I've been doing okay at just skimming past most posts that quote those people. I have been debating with myself if I'm ready to go back to my normal forum processing and thus eliminate my ignore list. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nobody on ignore I didn't until this week. Now two people reside on my block list, and it's mostly for other people's benefit. I don't think anything good can come from interacting with the first person, and that's all I have to say about that. The second one is Captain Jackwagon who spent yesterday evening crapping up the BLM thread. I think removing the temptation to make any more replies to his gibbering and potentially helping get the thread locked was in everyone's interest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
