Don't lock threads for going "off topic"

[CommunistCactus]

The original message is still relevant, so locking it doesn't make any sense.

Best to just remove the off topic messages indeed

In that case, I don't think the original topic had any relevance to begin with.

That thread got 5 likes in 20 seconds. I think it was a good suggestion

Agreed

So you lock a thread because you think it's not relevant, and leave a complete different reason. What kind of logic is that?

If you're referring to this thread, I've deleted all irrelevant messages and unlocked it. Though, I doubt anything useful will be added anymore. https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/more-democracry.206327/

So if I start posting off topic memes on one of you guys' news threads it makes the news thread irrelevant?

I love how you assume it was me that locked the thread. It wasn't. However, a topic asking for a business to become 'democratic' is actually quite pointless, it isn't ever going to happen because that isn't how the world works.

I love how you assume I assumed it was you that locked the thread, I didn't.

And that gives you the right to lock it for whatever reason you want?

Also, 'you' was meant in a 'you, the people/a person of the staff team' manner. We weren't talking about anything specific.

Why does he need a right to lock it... It may seem unfair but he has all the rights to unlock it.

not for whatever reason, but because the topic is irrelevant

lock it* I guess.

And why? Because that's how you are supposed to moderate. Just locking it 'because I can' makes you look highly unprofessional.

Exactly. But that didn't happen in the case mentioned before. (lock has been undone atm).

The idea was never going to happen anyways. It may not look professional but in the long run he would have saved several people's times.

All evidence points to you, considering past events. Network ban!

While I was unaware the thread which was spoken about but yeah based on the thread I am going to have to side with you on that specific occasion

However as a general rule of thumb I agree
