Locked: Printer?!?

Honestly, why can't we just have a peaceful conversation without being interrupted?!?

I'm planning on picking up an all-in-one device soon, and I would really value some input..

No fighting, no drama... 😵

And why don't you just start your own thread like everyone else does? It's impossible to actually answer a question when you guys are busy drowning the whole conversation in technical jargon that nobody cares about...

edit:

Besides, you already did...

Why on earth does it bother you when someone brings up technical specs that nobody actually cares about?

In a thread with the incredibly creative title "printer," a discussion broke out regarding—you guessed it—printers!

I didn't see anything in the subject line suggesting you were the designated expert here, nor did it say it was against the rules to mention technical details that most people find boring.

While you were busy deciding whether or not to reply, I went ahead and started a new thread. So, hopefully, those "boring" technicalities won't bother you too much. 👍

You’re clearly not reading. And honestly, you're being rude on this forum. It’s standard etiquette that when someone asks a question in a thread, they expect an answer. Instead, you just bury their question under your own massive post, then someone else jumps in on top of that... how is anyone supposed to find the original question and its answer anymore? If anyone even bothers to reply. Sometimes posts get buried so deep the thread moves to a different page and the question disappears entirely. It’s frustrating because everyone is talking over each other and nobody gives a damn about the actual question asked.

Look, I don't give a damn who's throwing a fit, especially since you're doing it in a thread you opened yourself—you can say whatever you want there. But since I'm a damn moderator, when I took this job, I committed to looking out for every user, not just you...

And you're acting all sensitive... like, imagine getting worked up just because someone closed a thread. I already explained what happened, so if you want to stay pissed, go ahead. I'm not going to keep explaining myself; I only wrote this to clarify why I did what I did, because yeah, I messed up here. My mistake wasn't closing the thread, it was doing it without any explanation. I should have pulled your post and the related comments into a separate thread and pointed everyone there... Dammit, I was swamped and rushing, so I didn't. I didn't think it would be such a huge deal...

And here we go, yet another generic thread about printers "all-in-one device"

The thread you just locked—the one where a debate actually started breaking out recently—was opened way back in 2003... wow 😵
You had over ten years to close it, and you only decide to act now because a discussion is heating up, then you have the nerve to claim I'm being offensive 😵

To draw a parallel, the mods are operating exactly like those outdated technical solutions from the late 20th century
