SUGGESTION FOR A NEW RULE. PLEASE READ.

^^Very true!

Ken:

I feel uneasy about you.

Your tone is extremely right wing and I have images of jack boots and brillcream.

Well, I will do my best to post a link referring to another thread if I lock one because it is a duplicate thread. I've noticed Joe (and maybe Sean) do that as well... does anyone thank them? not usually...

And if a thread is brought back with some helpful suggestion or useful input, then it is not considered "bumping".

Joe, Sean, yourself, Bob.................

Am I the only person on this site who's not a moderator? How does one qualify, might I ask?

Hmm..that does sound like an interesting idea^

Good idea, and for some threads, they need to post a Reason why they're locking it or deleting it

I always list a reason for locking a thread, and if the reason is because of a previously existing thread, I do my best to link it. Your suggestion is a commonsense one.

Yep, this should be standard practice.

Mel, you a funny man Mr...

A great suggestion! Either a link or a simple sentence explaining why the thread was locked would be great and not much effort to the mods.

Just out of interest... Is there like an age limit on being a mod? I've been here for several years and know the site well, but I'm only 12....

"Just out of interest... Is there like an age limit on being a mod? I've been here for several years and know the site well, but I'm only 12.... "

I think that technically there is no age limit. I became a mod when I was 16.. I think. I personally feel that older members make better mods, and though that may sound hypocritical, it is probably more self-deprecating than anything.

There should be/is a moratorium on hiring new mods anyway.

You were 16? =O!

But yesh. I agree. Older/mature people would make better mods. Not being offensive though.

Yeh thats okay lol I was just wondering, oh well I'm planning on staying here for as long as I can so I'll just wait 'til I'm older I guess! =D
