HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

New Mombassa Classic thread. The guy who started it bumped it from october 2005. Bumping is bad, but it was completely fine. Not only is it his own topic, but it was still relevant to the information given.

All this does is either drive a member that actually does something away, OR it will cause him to make a topic on the EXACT same thing since he will not be given his answer.

This is what I mean by thinking through your descisions on locking/deleting topics.

I demand to know the administrator, junior administrator, or moderator, who made this mistake. Class A example of a fault this society's staff needs to work on.

"Continuing to look at this black and white, tends to have you forget there are shades of gray."

That was me, didn't notice that it was the same person that created the thread, but even then, it would have been better to make a new topic (consider the method given doesn't work)

The fact is, making a new topic really is not all that good. Having this one not ONLY shows the question, but also the statements that did not help him.

I don't quite see how that helps...?

It shows people what he doesn't and does understand/what has been suggested.

Well....*sigh*
You would have learned this if you ever listened to me when I was JA, or knew me then...my memory really sucks (I had to read my tutorials to remember how to do the stuff I taught people how to do).

But it helps because then when the new topic is made, if made, then people will quite possibly say the same things, wasting his time. Where if the old topic remained, people would know exactly what not to say, and only new responses and answers would form.


Lol....

Rallos...tsk tsk tsk. Your a moderator. The first thing is to think about your decision before makign it.

but... if he posted on a topic asking the question, then people would tell him to use the search, then the topic would get lock because everonye would be like "ZOMG YOU USE THEF FUCKING SEARCH YOU FUCKING N00B!!!"

EXACTLY. That is why pewople would not repeat what was done in the thread. And the ENTIRE reason he posted again. BECAUSE none of it helped...

I'm beginning to lose my temper because you cannot understand this simple thing!

And he wasn't posting on any topic, it was his own, asking for something that no one successfully answered, and yet he STILL has no answer to, thanks to no one able to post there.

The same outcome would happened if the topic would have been locked anyway. If he would have made a new topic he would still been able to ask his question.

A user is appointed the moderator position to enforce the rules, and the months that I've moderated, I've noticed that each moderator enforces the rules differently.
We should respect the actions that each moderator takes. They were appointed the position by an adminstrator who is respected greatly by the webmaster.
Each moderator is entrusted to enforce the rules by their choosing. A user or even another moderator may think differently, but the rules are enforced.. just not in their way.

Besides, the topic was unlocked. What more do you want Pie?

Thats the thing. You do not understand the signifigance of the useless posts in the topic. That is what you three are NOT seeing, ugh.

And yes it is up to the moderator to perform their duty, but it is also up to the community to point out errors and flaws, so the moderator is no open to such from someone being uncivilized.

As I KNOW you have seen in the past however long. People will thrash out much more harshly if punished for something, and pick on every little flaw of someone. However, by pointing something out, I'm beginning to mend the flaw for them, and it is up to them to complete the heal, thus making it no longer a flaw for an asshole to tear into.

I KNOW that nobody BUT me would ever point this out, but that is what makes me unique, and if it was something larger, and there was an asshole here at the time, well then, that would not be very pretty, would it?

I'm being as civilized as I can

Since I cannot edit, I'll say it right now.

Another Happy Customer, Thanks To The Topic Being Unlocked

Yeah that bump was legit. I mean, if he didn't bump it he would have simply created a new thread and people might have said the same confusing things.

If you're going to be locking bumped threads, only do so if the post wasn't really worth it. I mean, if the person just goes and posts "This mod is so cool.", it's pretty pointless. Lock it then.

But yes, I'm on Pies side.

I was always taught that a bump is a bump, didn't matter whether it was relavant. No one ever told me differently however so I just kind of stuck with that mentality.

I think you guys need a new rolemodel, that whoever taught you that

Locke >_>

Lock? What lock ? Looks like Pie isn't the one with the bad memory

I thought bumping a topic with new inforation was justified in the rules?
