This now seems to be a repetitive issue, but I'll start with one example. Why was this thread in the politics section locked? People seemed to still be posting relevant information on it. I first thought it was because someone said "f" in regards to the "f"ed up politics we live in today, but after a quick search, I realized a lot of threads have "f" in them, yet they're still open. Usually warnings are given in threads if a poster goes out of line, and proper corrections to the thread are generally made. The only thread in my search that was locked is the one that has to do with Ron Paul. Is this because of P4B's feelings about Paul's campaign? He seems to be incredibly picky with those threads, reading them carefully, and then closing/locking them for any reason possible while his own posts, in many cases, attempt to coax a negative reaction out of members. He also has a problem with putting spin on political issues.

This thread didn't spawn from immaturity, and it's not a personal attack towards P4B. I'm just trying to help the community and owner of the site see what's happening to the politics section, and essentially the site as a whole. I'm trying to weed out the apples that appear to be going bad. For a moderator to work efficiently, they need to be moderating something they're able to keep a moderate position on. That's always been how professionalism was practiced, and this site seems to want to move towards a more mature and professional version of itself (which I agree with). Without moderation of opinion, threads aren't treated equally. I'm also not trying to get anyone dropped or in trouble, but maybe a simple reassignment is in order.

BTW, I had no problem with it being closed, based on that being my understanding. <shrug>

I have not seen any problem regarding staff members closing threads because they personally disagree with any views being expressed, though judging from your post it seems you have already decided they do.

Jouryokujin, there's an old saying....."Don't piss down my leg and try to tell me it's raining."

Like what was stated by FBR.....there were many posts deleted and in the end the subject matter had NOTHING to do with Ron Paul so I did close it and even stated that was the reason. IF you would care to start a new thread on the same order.....have at it!

angry nomad had a thread in there about a Ron Paul matter that was closed and due to new information regarding the subject matter I merged the threads and opened the original one!

The next time you feel the need to run up to Feedback to complain I hope you at least keep a bit of honesty in your thread! You seem to be the only one to take this issue "personal" so let me spell it out for ya; next time, a b.s. thread such as this WILL be considered as being a "personal attack". Oh yeah...this one is CLOSED!!

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
