korab rules Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I love the board's move to thread titles that have nothing to do with the thread's contents. It keeps people on their toes. But who made crosschecking a moderator? Was it the aptitude and skill that did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 He's not. You can close a thread if you started it. I barely ever start any, so I don't have a clue how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Good to know - I thought I woke up in bizzaro sabrespace. Since we have time to kill, perhaps we could imagine what the board would be like if poster X were a moderator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korab rules Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 First suggestion: Deluca That's it! I'm closing the thread! Which is accomplished using the Topic Moderation drop down menu under the bottom right portion of the last post in the thread. Which is probably only visible to the person who started the thread and moderators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 perhaps i should just p.m. a mod (or PA or hank), but i'll ask publicly first since this thread seems to have arisen from the thread about which i am inquiring: whither that raucous "celebrity" thread?

That Aud Smell Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 It was burned. i see. well, i reckon there were a number of reasons for which it could've been removed. even so, it will live on as the most memorable thread that i've ever seen around here.

korab rules Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 It was burned. and to what end? I personally found it very revealing. The obfuscation and feigned indignation, the delay,deny and change the subject tactics. Methinks there may have been a bit of static like behavior going on in these threads over the years, and the possibility of that revelation was the real festering pimple.

Alas, much like in life, those (threads) whos flames burn the brightest also burn the briefest. (Or something to that effect.) 'Tis a shame, I was just getting ready to make a bowl of popcorn.

PA's shoe size? seriously, man, that's not cool. you went there once, but then backed off and apologized. nothing that anyone said on this thread would have prompted or invited that additional disclosure. just stop. as someone who guards and values his privacy around here, i can see PA quitting the board based on that sort of persistence. that would suck.

FogBat Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 It was burned. Crying shame, to say the least. Well, since the powers that be removed the "celebrity" thread, I guess it should come as no surprise that no one listed Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw as favorite celebrities. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyC1z58Q40E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdexchange Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Damn, I just sat down with my lunch to spend my 20 minutes per day on SS, and the best thread of the summer is completely gone. What did I miss since yesterday around lunchtime? Just a quick summary please...don't repost anything too "sensitive" obviously (unless you want to PM me, which I would obvously welcome).
