Re: Why is "pointing to a locked thread" a nono?

By the same logic (that pointing to a locked thread in order to engage in what has been deemed by the Editor in Chief as the "perfectly acceptable" process of discussing moderation policies, rules and interpretation - in this case surrounding thread-locking - constitutes a "no-no"), ...

... perhaps it may be that referring to the mere declaration of a "no-no" in order to discuss the nature and veracity of stated "no-nos" themselves constitutes a secondary "no-no" infraction ?

And, (following similar logic), perhaps it may be that making the point above itself may constitute a tertiary "no-no" ? If the answer to that question is "ya-ya", then we may all have to spend our recess-period writing neatly writing "ya-ya" 100 times on the blackboard using chalk with no eraser.

Our conversations "flow so freely" here on the "Open Talk" forum that I can hardly stand it ...

Oh wow. How does one even respond to such a comment?

Linking to another thread invariably will lead to conversation about that specific action, which is not allowed. So that's why it's going to get deleted. However, if you just came in and started a thread with a general question about moderation you'd be just fine.

What?

Like the thread I started asking how many other people had found one of the new moderators  pre-ensconced firmly in their personal "ignore" list?

Huh! Sounds pretty "general" to me...

...... but that one was flushed so fast into oblivion it didn't even touch the sides!!
