Who locked it and why?
Didn't think it was such a bad thread.
I was having fun there. [A onclick="addImg('icon/033.gif')" href="jvascript:void(0)"](http://www.discovervancouver.com/forum/icon/033.gif)[/A]
An Error Has Occurred! This was locked by an administrator. You cannot unlock it.
^ Are you sure it was Lise that relocked that thread?
As far as I know there're 2 others with admin access on this board.
It could've been da Bork!
OMG Bork wants to assimilate the spirit guides!
Resistance is futile...

As far as I can tell, there is no indication that ANY of the admins locked the thread. I think if you locked it, you are the only one that can unlock it. If that isn't working, TehBorken may have a better explanation for you.

PC, where do you see an indication of who did what? Do you have access to such logs?
On Yahoo groups for example, there's web activity section. So even if a group has 20 moderators, there's a record of who did what with any of the threads or configuration options.
I imagine SMF (the software used on this board) would have a similar feature as well, but I'm not sure if mods can access it.
Yes Raging Poodle....that's what I'm referring to. There is nothing there that I can see that says anything about that thread being locked by the Admin.
I'm not making an attempt to explain how Lise posted in it after it was locked. I have no idea.

It's possible someone locked it with a stray click and didn't realize it. I've done something similar before once or twice. In any case I've unlocked it and if you want to relock it, feel free.
Angel.....why don't you just wait for an explanation before you start pointing fingers. There is even the possibility it was locked by accident. (I did it myself once a long while ago before I was an admin....I didn't even know I had done it until someone pointed it out in another thread)

What bothers me is that hers was a disparaging remark.
I'm [FONT color=#ff0000]NOT[/FONT] saying this is the case, but [FONT color=#ff0000]IF[/FONT] it's proven that she used her admin status to unlock a thread just so she could sneak in a disparaging comment and then lock it as if nothing happened, then that would make one think if such a person could be trusted with admin access privileges.

WHY WOULD I DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I have never locked your spirit guide thread nor would I stoop so low as to lock it. That you would accuse me of doing something like that just pisses me off. You think I would abuse my administrator status just for kicks?
I've got nothing to say to you, Angel except maybe you should bloody well check with me first before you accuse me of something like this. [/DIV]

how do you lock a thread?? i dont see any locks.
Angel, for someone who constantly needs to remind everyone that you're not a 'bad' person, you do a remarkable impersonation of one.
You accused the admins of foul play without ANY info what so ever. AND THEN got uppity with our explanations. (apparently they didn't meet your standards). Not everyone is as devious as you.
You are the very type of person that coined the term DRAMA QUEEN.
^removed post
Yes...I do.
And in all the time I've spent on forums, you're the first one that has been able to put it there.
This angel person sure causes a lot of trouble...perhaps he or she deserves a different moniker?

My appologies to Lise, if the thread accidentally locked.
where or how do you lock a thread. just so i dont do it by mistake.
yeah! I agree with kingy, Ive been trying to figure this out for the life of me. To be honest Im one of those that likes things with all the bells and whistles.. but I dont have the foggiest clue what all the stuff does.

SH Members and above can lock/unlock their own topics. Admins can lock/unlock any topic. I suspect this was a slip of the mouse. I've done it myself by accident; it happens from time to time. It doesn't mean anyone is out to get you or that the Thread-Locking Overlords are landing. I've deleted threads by accident, modified other people's topics by accident, etc etc. It happens, and I'd hope people would just stop looking for any sinister hidden meaning behind things like this.

You should start inventing more words, those are great!
Just my luck, didn't even finish before posting. Seeing as you aren't ESL "angel" maybe look towards your own definition of new words. Also just a thought, you're apology to Lise, reminds me of someone that belched and farted so loudly in public on purpose, and innocently turned around as if nothing happened and said " ooppssiiee daisy, I am so sorry! "
Sorry, just doesn't wash.
Lise and PC, I have seen you're posts, too bad you had to go through this, no one should have to. You guys don't deserve that, good day to you all and the "Big B"
Sorry, just doesn't wash.
Angie's apology not only doesn't wash, it leaves an unspeakably despicable taint. A self-proclaimed synaesthete should be able to decipher this perfectly legitimate neologism, if she had any sort of sense, other than an overdeveloped sense of entitlement. Angie's non-apology to P.C., is inexcusable, as is her claim that she was attacked by PC.
Definitely. Those are not attacks on P.C. and Lise. I feel this Angel poster just comes to any old forum and stirs trouble up whenever she feels like it.
[FONT color=#ff0000]We should ignore her though.[/FONT] All this attention, even if it is negative, just seeks to feed her delusional self.

This issue could've easily been solved by a simple check of web activity records.
Granted I'm not an expert on SMF, but even the lousiest BB software I've seen usually keeps such records and I have no reason to suspect that SMF doesn't. (Those logs tell you EVERYTHING: Who did what, from what IP, at what hour, through which account, etc.)
If anyone made a mistake, it would've been spotted, admitted, and we would've all moved on, with none of this "could've/might've accidentally clicked on something" type of speculation BS clouding everyone's judgement.
And similarly, it's also possible that this event uncovered an unknown bug in the SMF software: In a friendlier environment, we would've all pitched in with our ideas to figure out the details of this bug so that Bork could notify the development team.

The way I see it, if you didn't keep dredging this up and trying to make an issue of it, it would be over and done with and no one would give a damn.

And how would you know that they were untampered?

Lame. Posters should never have the power to edit and delete their stuffs freely.
That kind of thing only works in a utopian society where you can trust your brothers and sisters.

I noticed the thread has been shifting all the time.
I don't know who's been deleting and which comments. I left all my messages intact. But PC - weren't you one of the first people to start deleting her own comments from this thread?

On one hand, true; you can't trust human nature not to abuse or misuse any bit power they're given.
On the other hand, sometimes I make typos and I enjoy having the freedom to be able to edit and correct my own messages.
True dat.
I edit my posts CONSTANTLY so I should STFU ;)
I wish there was a way to allow us to edit stuff like that without changing our posts to completely change the flow of conversation (hide our trespasses).
Raging Poodle, there was no abuse or misuse of 'power' in this whole thread.
If one were to read it now, it would certainly look like someone was getting beaten up for no reason at all. Until your realize that someone gathered these comments....each from a different post by one person. Most if not all are now gone.

You want me to just drop it, then how come you keep coming back to it? [img]http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c028.gif" border=0 ="url(this.src);"]
Good question.
The thing about banging your head against a brick wall is.....it feels so good when you stop.

I'm happy with it. It helps keep occassional typos and grammatical errors to minimum, and ultimately that reflects well on the image of the board as well.
When one is in an environment where everyone writes with minimal errors, then an outsider joining that environment would also feel compelled to pay attention to the quality of their writing.

As a Technical Writer (in a past life) I appreciate it when people pay attention to writing and punctuation. When I see a typo my world flies apart and I damn near fall into a comma. (//forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif)
A comma ? [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c025.gif" border=0]

From what I remember, there was some joking back and forth.
Not even the OP was hateful enough about me. (That the thread didn't even make it to my list.)
Yet a whole bunch of hateful threads DO remain, and ARE left to fester, despite repeated requests for their removal.
So no, I didn't save a copy of it. The thread didn't seem to be out of the ordinary in terms of the info it contained to warrant its being saved.

Wow, all you hypocrites! That thread "Raging Poodle is a baby" had major hatred inside from the FallenBeotch (aka raor, lepititis, HailyBaily, HtotheB, Theangel and all the other handlejacked names of every regular that she could get her hands on)
The hate was towards PC once again, such spite coming from Raging Poodle! and raor, so willing to go back and forth on that issue!

As far as deleting "hatred" on DV, we need to define our terms a bit. I'm Ok with "hate crimes" being dealt with (depending on what you mean by that), but it's DV, and if you're talking about deleting brutal flames just because they hurt someone's feelings then I think you're dead wrong. Bickering and flames is part of what made DV so special.

... and that folks, is the reason why you have two different forums to visit. One (DS) where everyone knows your name, mostly a friendly environment. Two (DV) a surprise bag there, it could be a loaded gun one night and it could be milk and cookies with granny the next.
And then we have cowardly losers like WoeIsYou who comes into a forum where everyone knows your name, and trolls anonymously spewing bullshit.
> Fair is Fair, his act of always protecting and rescuing the fallen one could be misconstrued at times, one could surmise him to be an accomplice and not a perpetrator.
I see you're choosing your words carefully - "could be misconstrued", "one could surmise" Nice. But you're still making allegations.
Proof, asshat. Where do you see me ALWAYS "protecting and rescuing the fallen one"?
I only express my views. And they're my own views. Not intended to defend one particular person or another.
At least I have the courage to state who I am, put my name on the bottom of my comments, instead of hiding and trolling under multiple anonymous nicknames.
[SPAN lang=EN-CA]So if people believe there are posts and threads on DV signalling them out in negative and hurtful ways, you're saying the moderators and the web-site admins should do nothing even if the posts and threads have the potential of being criminally defamatory or the people being "brutally flamed" request the posts and threads be deleted?[/SPAN] Pretty much. Life is rough. Wear a f*cking helmet.
People who get flamed and then demand that the flames are deleted make me sick. I think there is room for argument when the flame turns into ongoing harassment that last for weeks (i.e. SG's behavior), posting personal info etc. but otherwise, seriously, get a spine.
And I couldn't give two shits on a stick about whether a judge agrees with me. The Internet isn't made of nerf, nor should it be.

Quoted for truth. After Academe left things did change. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #dfffbf" color=#000000]And then, for reasons I can't fully explain, months later it was like she was back in spirit.[/FONT]
I chuckled and nodded at that comment.
True. Unfortunately true.
I don't know if macademe was responsible for creating that atmosphere or she was just a scapegoat, but currently on DV we're back to an environment of powertripping, headgames, all sorts of nastiness, unfair deletions... you name it.
I don't know what gets to people's heads.
I don't know how having access to a simple delete function affects one's psychology and self perception.
And I don't know how people you've known almost as "friends" can change so drastically as to become unrecognizable. :(
"Where do you see me ALWAYS "protecting and rescuing".......
I think they were referring to a mod friend, not you Raging Poodle! :)
I don't know if macademe was responsible for creating that atmosphere...
I don't think so. I don't know of any current mods who stuck up for her behavior at the time. I think some of them would be shocked to think that they are straying into Academe's realm. They don't see it. I saw a noticeable change in mod behavior after Steve (admin Steve) began taking a more active role in the modding world.
He began to personally delete threads and posts that under his own earlier edicts would have been safegaurded. Deleting posts because someone just rubs you the wrong way is always a bad sign. So much for his "if it doesn't fall into X category, LEAVE IT UP!" rule. Instructing mods not to explain any of our actions to users and to essentially ignore all complaints about our judgement also set the tone for the current mod squad. I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but a complete lack of accountability naturally leads to abuse.
Steve's biggest blunder was to provide mods with an excuse to give in to that tugging temptation to allow ego, rather than policy to drive decision-making. When you see a manager (and that is in effect what Steve is) brazenly violating policy and promoting the idea that users just aren't worth talking to, shit happens.
I don't know how having access to a simple delete function affects one's psychology and self perception.
And I don't know how people you've known almost as "friends" can change so drastically as to become unrecognizable. :(
They are still the same people, except when they're modding.
And some of the mods have actually done a pretty good job. Despite what Orik said, I think X is an outstanding mod. If he had Steve's job I sort of doubt we would be having this conversation.

[FONT color=#40007f]Thanks for pointing it out.[/FONT]
[FONT color=#40007f]Carefully going over what he wrote and how he wrote it, I think you're right. The reference in that sentence appears to be to the "mod friend". (I don't know who that mod friend might be, but that's irrelevant.)[/FONT]
[FONT color=#40007f]I must've been influenced by his earlier retarded allegations to be confused in the second half of his message:[/FONT]

That thread "Raging Poodle is a baby" had major hatred inside from the FallenBeotch (aka raor, lepititis, HailyBaily, HtotheB, Theangel and all the other handlejacked names of every regular that she could get her hands on).
[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #bfffff"]The hate was towards PC once again, such spite coming from Raging Poodle! and raor, so willing to go back and forth on that issue! [/FONT]Methinks, it shouldn't have been deleted, would have been a good idea to keep that one on hand so people could recognize the angel from hell! [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #bfffff"]Go ahead Raging Poodle! and guests, everyone saw it, let's see all the denial now! [/FONT]
Maybe raor's mod friend deleted the thread because it implicated her "major hatred" toward PC? I don't remember Raging Poodle! saying such things about PC, but if he did, bad ferret!
Fair is Fair, his act of always protecting and rescuing the fallen one could be misconstrued at times, one could surmise him to be an accomplice and not a perpetrator.
[FONT color=#40007f]It was a late night thread and I was LONG asleep when it was deleted. [/FONT]
[FONT color=#40007f]I witnessed only the beginning of it and in the morning it was gone.[/FONT]
[FONT color=#40007f]So whomever said [/FONT]
I don't remember Raging Poodle! saying such things about PC, but if he did, bad ferret!
[FONT color=#40007f]is correct. [/FONT]
[FONT color=#40007f]Why should I talk about someone, esp. in a hateful way, when the person may or may not be reading DV? [/FONT]
[FONT color=#40007f]If I have anything to say to PC, I can say it to her face. I don't need to talk behind anyone's back. [/FONT]
[FONT color=#40007f]Funny thing is, I don't even have anything bad to say about her. So that makes those claims doubly ridiculous.[/FONT]
[FONT color=#40007f]Shitterbug had created that thread to annoy me, but I was more amused than annoyed. There wasn't any Raging Poodle! flaming going on in that thread and I was sleepy enough. So I thought, whatever happens I can see it tomorrow.[/FONT]
[FONT color=#40007f]The next day, it was gone. Ok no big deal. [/FONT]
[FONT color=#40007f]Next time you see a juicy thread, and if you're going to make claims about it later, you should save it like I do so you can resurrect it later if need be. [img onclick=smile(this.src) src="http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/cool0037.gif"][/FONT]
