If you closed head-fi for a day that would prevent him from replying for an entire 24 hours

SIX PAGES !!!!!!!!!!!

One thing you just HAVE TO give me credit for folks

i DO know how to wake this joint up on occasion

So if there are no dissenting votes , i will after three minutes (my sandwich is waiting) close this thread , it serving no real purpose at this time

I just heard my grandma died so I didn't respond after that for a while and now I see that it's going in a strange direction here. I don't feel like further discussion at the moment. Hope no-one minds.

Heck no!

Sorry to hear about that.

My condolences.

rick, please do not, otherwise i'm gonna be seriously mad.

look, i want my original point addressed. i want a FAIR policy on closing threads.

as far as i know, no mod or jude has resolved the problem yet. or even said if it's not a problem.

say something.

 

[rickcr42]

OK This thread is history !

Anything needing to be said has been covered and i hope most questions were answered to the satisfaction of the membership


and since there seems to be no objections

THIS BABY IS EL-LOCKO

as an aside " sad news lisa ,my condolences.

take care of the important , now get outta here young lady

WHAT THE HECK!!!! i am objecting! you deaf man?

 

[Joe Bloggs]

Huh, looks like the Rickster has missed the post above him

OTOH the thread is not actually locked so

 

[Mr.PD]

I gotta have the last word.
Head-Fi burped and I just got back to it.
Maybe soon some thread closing guidlines can be posted in the rules of conduct section.

edit
Rick, if you could just post your phone number here, I can call you so we can discuss this in private.

 

[Orpheus]

look, who agrees with me???:

no moderator shall ever post personal opinions before closing the thread.

if he does want to post an opinion, then he should be fair and leave the thread open for replies.

that simple. if you don't understand, please read the original post at the top of this thread.

 

[rickcr42]

What ?

Was in the process of closing the thread and there is the

"HEY GOAT HOLDIT (stymie of the little rascals)"

Seriously mad ?

dude !

you take this way too damn seriously

OK

The policy on closing threads has already been covered

so i guess it is the parting shots that have your dander up

It is not the "policy" for moderators to add to a thread once a lock has been put on it but

JEEZ GUYS !

YOU CAN NOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS !

no matter how we attempt to deal with this someone will alsways feel slighted

a lock with no comment ?

"WHY IS THE THREAD LOCKED" and we get three pages from a new thread crying foul


My earlier response to locked thread was an innocent thing where coming at it from Outlook I responded ,did not notice the lock (which has no effect on me anyway) and hit send

once my error was pointee out the offending response was sent bye bye

This post lock commenting is not the norm and is usually either

A- an honest mistake

or

B-an attempt to explain the the membership at large why said thread was no longer open for participation

The person or persons involved that caused the lock usually already know having been contacted by "teacher" and notified as to where they went wrong and how we , the moderators, will be most happy to showing them the correct forms to be followed as a member of head-fi wishing to participate in an open discussion


We do our best and perfect we are not


considering how diverse this crowd is the surprise is not how many we p*ss off but how many we do not !

Can i lock it up now ?


The above is as a MODERATOR and not as MEMBER rick

and the above is a serious attempt to explain a stuation that may be ambiguos to some

again ,we do the best we can

Let him finish the sandwich first.

 

[minya]

Yeah, I'm with Rick. I'd much rather have an explanation at the end of a closed thread (especially if its reason for closing was unclear -- the PinkFloyd/Jan threads were very obvious) than just a random locking.

And of course if you feel the thread was closed prematurely or in error, then you could PM the mods and discuss it with them.

I can't believe I'm actually siding with the moderators for once.

once again, as said before, justifications for closing the thread are good. but most mods write much more than that. just look for yourself.

no opinions please.
