Locking Ken

In the 'ismail' post that you locked you stated that 'this has been discussed before' and 'if you want to find out, ask him'.

'scuse me Ken. Seeing as he's been banned from the site, that's impossible, and if you locked every thread that's been discussed before on here then there'd be more locks than Wakefield prison!!!! What's going on. You mods are going edit crazy.

If we were edit or lock crazy... there would be a lot less open threads.

What's going on is that we are trying to keep arguing to a minimum. The Ismail subject had been discussed in another thread (and answered yet again in the thread you mentioned). There was no need to leave it open for more arguing.

Ann Marie:

What's wrong with arguing? You'll be suggesting that we all write poems about love and nature, next!

Does this constitute an argument?

Mods are not forbidding debating. Arguing is different from actual debating but I'm not going to bother explaining it. I think what Ann was trying to say is that arguing about Ismail's suspension would be unneccesary because it has already been explained why he was suspended in other threads.

Aken Sol

the one that was locked says why he was suspended... at least it did when I read it

^^^ i see your point debates quickly deteriorate into useless bickering

I even love the 'useless bickering' when it's done with a tad of intelligence.

People need to vent a little anger an frustration. For godsake these are only words and words are all we have (BeeGees and then Boyzone 1970s and 2001).

This one DOES say why Ismail was banned: http://www.poems-and-quotes.com/discussion/topic.html?topic_id=52498

It's down just a few threads....

Wasn't it explained that the banning of a member by a moderator is between the member and the moderator?

Why keep asking why this person was banned, when you will not get an answer? It's mind boggling.

/Sarcasm On/
Becuase if the answer is, "the more we ask - the more the mods will break down and tell us"
Woot! I'M IN!!! :))

Moderators and moderators wannabes. Why was Ismail Banned!??

One more for the hell of it: Why was Ismail Banned!

One for the road: Why was Ismail Banned!
/Sarcasm off/

Did you ever see any of Ismails posts?

Do you still need to ask why he was banned?

It's not a cool time to be Mod right now...man a few months ago it was just like being Tyler Durden in fight club...

"no charge here sir"

Now it's

"stone him...."
