This silence is the absolute peak of arbitrary tyranny and sheer rudeness from the moderator team!! If a thread is posted in the wrong subforum, why on earth is it so difficult for you gentlemen to simply MOVE the topic instead of locking it? Or at least provide a single post explaining the reasoning behind the closure. I ask hereβand get nothingβand then I'm left wondering... what the hell is actually going on with this forum?! Shouldn't your primary concern be maintaining a pleasant atmosphere and ensuring user satisfaction? Of course notβyou have plenty of users to throw at you, so you couldn't care less. Itβs no wonder things stay this way... I needed the answer to that thread for my schoolwork, and it was genuinely urgent, yet you just lock the thread π without a word of explanationβwhich isn't even the worst partβbut then you have the audacity to remain silent when I ask for clarification right here. Could you really not have just moved it, or offered some sort of reason? You prioritize nitpicking trivialities like a misplaced subforum, while the actual garbage existing on this site gets swept under the rug.
Let me give you an example:
Nobody seems to care about the provocations, slander, and insults directed at certain individuals by one specific group of users over in the "all sorts" subforumβand likely elsewhere too. Not a single moderator bothers to shut down those threads or issue warnings to the spammers who exist solely to provoke and escalate tension. Yet, it's vital that a perfectly normal thread, one that doesn't provoke anyone, gets locked without any explanation whatsoever.

It is all laid out clearly enough in the rules of this subforum, so I fail to see why reading them is such an insurmountable challenge for you.

It wouldn't hurt if you actually gave it a read. Rules and stuff you gotta follow. subforums natural science Look, before you start losing your cool and going all hysterical on me here... just check the facts. It's all right there in writing.

Is it really that difficult for you people to glance at my signature and realize I'm a man? π
Anyway... regarding this whole mess:
Iβm not even claiming I opened this thread in the wrong subforum. But locking a thread without so much as a word of explanationβthat is just extreme. Why couldn't you have simply moved the post to the correct section instead of shutting it down entirely?
Furthermore, I have serious grievances with the rules themselves. These "rules"βas I've mentionedβare pedantic nonsense, obsessing over trivialities like whether a math problem belongs under "natural science" or within "rescue assistance." Apparently, violating such a sacred decree is a mortal sin that warrants the immediate destruction of the thread π as if the fact that I needed an urgent answer for a school assignmentβsomething affecting my actual gradeβis completely irrelevant to anyone here π The rule-breaker should be the one failing their class, right? Who cares about that, apparently. Is that how it works?!
Like I saidβthese rules are nothing more than nitpicking over trifles, like insisting a topic shouldn't be in the main forum but tucked away in some obscure sub-subforum. And where is the rule against escalating tension, provoking other users, derailing discussions, leaking private information, or engaging in insults and slander?! There are plenty of cases involving that kind of behavior over in the "all sorts" forum. Where is the rule prohibiting *that*? Where are the moderators who actually penalize those individuals?! The moderators won't lift a finger unless someone starts pulling them by the skirt and screaming, "Lock that garbage thread!" So please, have the decency to admit that posting in the wrong section is considered a greater offense than everything I just listed in this paragraph. π

Anyway, they hand out those certificates at NASA for stuff like that, so you actually did alright. It passed. It went through. Whatever... π

The sheer accuracy of your claim serves as yet another testament to the tyranny and absolute whims of the moderators...--
