1 I think it would be cool if there was a way I could see how many people subscribed to my thread. I know there are many people who subscribe without posting. And sometimes people unsubscribe threads they lose interst in.
I would like to see how many current subscriptions there are.

2 Stop locking threads!! Seriously man that shit gets annoying.
There are many threads that get locked because ONE or TWO people start posting something that someone else didnt like. We should embrase a policy of freedom of speach. Censorship is wrong.
Im not saying that you shouldnt ever lock threads, BUT I DO FEEL LIKE THE POWER IS BEING ABUSED BY MODS!!!
I sent rollitup a pm but he never got back to me.

3 I would like to ask everybody to think before posting.
You cant take back something after you say it.
Sometimes you read a post different from what the poster intended. Just remember we are all people of like minds with one common goal. lets work together to achieve it.

There are always buttholes that come around and ruin it for everyone else. Thats just how it goes. You make some good points but someone has to lay down the law.

LMAO. Shot down in flames.

#1 ill look into

#2 There is not much we can do about it, if we stop the drama before it starts then it will not get out of hand, the users that cause the drama in the first place receive infractions and it puts them on the way out the door.

#3 I very much agree

Why not remove the offending poster and continue the thread. Why must the majority suffer? Just redact the posts and continue the thread.

So that's Rollitup.... Love the avatar!

Is it.....

Has anyone noticed that forums are Aristocracies?

Aristocratic?

Agreed. However, I believe the power is being abused. Threads get locked that should be open. I dont think it is a coincidence that the three biggest threads were locked around the same time.
Are we sacrificing freedom for server space?

Even still, I dont believe in deleting/locking threads without proper cause/ death threats, personal information given out, or spammers.
I see them get locked all the time without good reason.

I thought Aristocracy was hereditary and only available to those with wealth. Like a king who passes his crown to his son.

Yes I googled the definition too.
However, the definition is wrong. NEVER in an aristocracy is the wise, strong, nor most contributing the chosen to lead. An aristocracy chooses leaders based on whom they want, ie, friends and family who they can control.
Dig a little deeper, dont trust the first answer you read.

Nah, I believe in this one. Plus that is a different type of Government. I'll look it up for ya.
