Lazy moderator. I'm fine with complaints, but when there were 15 threads on the same topic on the front page, I decided to lock a bunch of them. There are plenty of threads that can still have gasoline poured on them. Go and gather your pitchforks and torches.

Yes it irritates me, but they don't listen anyway. The point of this one is to figure out D3's reasoning to locking well thought out posts of certain players thoughts and opinions. This is "general discussion" forum is it not? It is general, and talking about different things, and asking questions to figure out the devs/mods reasoning to things is legitimate and shouldn't be locked out. Especially without getting some sort of answer or explanation.

I would understand if they were going on a rampage and writing a bunch of tinykitty and doing nothing but bad mouthing D3. But alas... all they are doing is speaking from their own personal experiences and the comments are people that agree and/or have had the same experiences. Not only is this "shady" but it is also unwarranted because basically all we want is for the devs to hear what we have to say. We are trying to help them keep their player base. If these changes keep happening with no warning at all, everyone will get fed up and just leave. It has already started and is starting to migrate to people not paying anymore for anything. I digress, this is for a different thread... Back to my original point, why lock posts that are well constructed and thought out such as viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10397. especially within the first hour they are up, but we constantly see spam posts that stay up for days at a time. This makes no sense what so ever. Can someone please explain this to all of us? Either the mods if they know, or even IceIX. Shed some light on this for us and try and help us understand this. Please and thank you.
