Request to Mods - Let Them Work It Out

I concur. These threads are getting locked way too easily. Almost to the point that a lot of times, I don't bother posting for fear of triggering the lock for someone else's thread. Recently, it seems almost any small argument will lead to lock up. It feels like mods are close to the point of abusing their power? I agree there are threads that sometimes deserve getting locked, but I don't think previous three reached that point' even if it was just foolish arguing. I just observed and saw that they never had chance to get their differences worked out. Give them at least chance to finish the threads on their own. As a matter of fact, it looked like the argument was almost reaching the end anyway before it was locked without any explanation. At times, those arguments were even informative. Schultz stated that he's always right, but this action does not convince me of its validity.

If it gets outta hand, then lock it. But I think a lot of people will agree that pre-emptive strike angers lot of people. One who have power should be even more careful. There is a very fine balance between control and abuse. Sure, mods can just tell me to bug off because of this posting, and I will do so if asked. I do not hang out at places where I am not welcome. Some mentioned that there are many worse sites. But guess what? I don't hang out at those sites. Especially at one particular site, I found that mods sounded very arrogant (i will not mention names, but many of you can guess) Maybe they were not, but they sounded that way. Hence, I never hang out at that site, and as a result, it is very unlikely I will ever buy from them. It might be a small loss for them, but it adds up.

I am just asking mods to be more considerate before they decide to enforce censorship. Tell them not to use curse and bad words, but don't just cut the debate in the middle so easily. If some say this is one of the better sites, I wanna see it kept that way. Any others inputs are welcome here especially from Vicious, AnimeInMe, Pegmagician, Ka-Talliya, and Atomic Orgasm, main principles who were most affected by last three locks. If they all agree that Schultz did the right, then I'll admit that I am the wrong one.
