Can't tell if you like that he's locking everything, or if you don't
I personally don't like that all have a reply. Whenever I ended up on a RaS spree like that, I took care to either "silently" lock so as to avoid wasteful bumps, or just archive a list of threads that I did reply-bump out of habit. If the OP needs to be warned for breaking the rules, use an infraction and put a moderator message in the infraction.
For instance, why would the following threads need to be revived back to the top of RS2 General (for another 2-12 hours of pointless viewing) after 2 days of inactivity? Thread "tools > lock" works
way better in instances like these:
and so on.
Not ragging on Sypherz, I just noticed the wall of locked threads as well. Most mods tend to do it from time to time. :l
By the way, punkerpunk, even though posts are not publicly viewable by you and me, every single mod has perms over the Dispute section. They can and do read posts the day they are written, as long as the mod is actively posting anywhere else. In the past I've browsed through a lot of "unmoderated" (i.e., invisible) disputes without bothering to moderate them (i.e., make them visible to the public) because I had nothing to post. No post = no support; it always has and always will. It's safe to say that most pardons have a dozen of "no supports" within the first few days of them being posted. On that note, if a mod
does post "No support," it basically is the polite way of publicly saying "Fuck you."
mailed him with a question and got a fast AND good response!
