Hello,
If you want my personal opinion regarding moderation. Moderators cannot simply continue to try and deal with issues by locking threads and making vague statements about rule five. If moderators are not willing to make public statements about particular instances of posting on the forum that were in breach of rule five, or for that matter rule seven, people will continue to argue over who is responsible for the behaviour that’s getting these threads locked.
more to the point the repeated locking of threads is so tiresome to those of us who want to have a constructive debate about contentious issues that it discourages us from reporting rule breaches in the first place. I would encourage moderators to consider brief suspensions from the forum as an alternative, possibly accompanied by some sort of public declaration regarding particular posts that broke rules.
