A masterclass in moderation

I honestly don't even know where to start

It’s a perfectly legitimate topic—no obvious trolling here—just... abruptly cut short before the discussion could even get off the ground.

That’s not really how you start a thread. An opening post should actually invite people to talk, rather than just dropping a single-sentence question about whether there are any disassembly workshops in America.

There isn't much to say here because it’s really just a straightforward question, and honestly, you can't write an entire novel over a single inquiry! The point is perfectly clear, and while I definitely agree that we don't need to start a whole new thread for every little thing, he could have easily just moved his topic to the right section and waited patiently for someone to jump in with an answer 🤷

Oh, absolutely—but honestly, look at the sheer amount of audacity packed into that tiny little sentence: "there aren't any."

And besides, how can he be quite so certain? He can't. By making such a definitive claim, he's basically taking on an enormous responsibility for being right—which, let's face it, he isn't.

It’s like if someone asked whether there was a cure for syphilis (for those who don't know, it's treated with antibiotics) and then some half-educated, incredibly rude, and overconfident moderator just snapped, "No," and locked the whole thread.

The subject remains the thread locking. Also, just as you opened that previous thread inappropriately and against the rules, you’ve done the same thing here. Based on the title alone, it’s completely unclear which moderator or which PDF you're even talking about. Maybe keep that in mind next time you start a thread.

That's all from me.
