Closing threads - would you ever stop it !

[arsenal]

Closing threads is not only NOT funny it is a crime against humanity. Members should work themselves up into an apoplectic fury at the very idea. Amnesty should be notified and one of their representatives called in to adjudicate on the matter. Those responsible should be hauled off to The Hague to face a stern judge and after due process handed the toughest strongest sentence for this most heinous of crimes. Happy.

BTW, Moses was acting under rule 4.8. so I can't see what the problem is.

Well, talking about "tenants in law" ... Guideline 4.8 seems to me to be new. Perhaps Neal wrote that, but I cannot see Surfcrest doing so. Did Moses add that rather authoritarian guideline?
Hitler's Enabling Act of 1933 was very like Guideline 4.8.

Guideline 4.8 The owners of SGT Forum reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.

The Enabling Act 1933: The Enabling Act (German: Ermächtigungsgesetz) was a 1933 Weimar Constitution amendment that gave ... Chancellor Adolf Hitler – the power to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag.

I know I know, a drama queen, right?

Or the owner could just stop doing it - that would be better.

PM him.

Ahh the old " Look boys, I'll just do whatever the fuck I want and to fuck with all your opinions and moderation guidelines, so, you can all moan all you want but that's just the way it is, so, fuck up and follow my rules RIGHT " - To be fair he'd be better just saying that and saving on all the other guideline pretence.......oh, wait, he just DID.

[Nirish guy]

No thanks, I'll just post to the board, like others who also think the same - and anyway I can do without being reminded of rule 4.2 thanks - you know that one that says "he can do whatever the fuck he likes" etc as just because he CAN do it doesn't of course make it right or a good idea "for the board".

[arsenal]

Yes, I suppose he can.

I'm pretty sure it's "tenets".

I don't know or care who wrote that rule; all I know is that it is there.

And that something similar appears in many contracts.

And if you don't like rule 4.8 because it reminds you of Hitler (!!), then why don't you lobby Moses to change it?

Well you give a very good impression of loathing and despising, spewing venom wherever you post. Charming. You're only still here because of the 'grandfather' clause. If a new member turned up and posted what you do you'd have gone some time ago. That's a fact.

It's very worrying to see the Head Judge unable to a) control himself and b) unable to separate valid criticism (shared by others) from "loathing, despising, and spewing venom".

He continually posts anti-Scottish rhetoric and boasts in his posts and avatar of never having to explain himself (both of which are absolutely fine with me, except it's exactly the "flaming" he allegedly disapproves of), and he now refers to me disparagingly as "Gorbals Jock" (again fine with me, except that's a great example of the trolling he allegedly disapproves of).

Thanks goodness he's a self-admitted here-today-gone-tomorrow moderator - otherwise we might have to take him seriously.

Kind regards

My sincerest apologies to Gorbals Jock for any misunderstandings. However, my rhetoric is not anti-Scottish. It's anti-SNP which is not the same thing at all.
