OMG, for Pete's sake you
can't be serious. Number one, Dixon ought to respond to my question if he's worth his salt as a mature moderator. People can't stand up any more for what they say--be responsible.
Number two, I don't need some ego-inflated "adolescent-minded" jokester erroneously entitled "Super Moderator" who uses a racist avatar to make asinine comments. What on earth is wrong with making a comparison? OH I get it. It's because it was MFK. Sheesh, it could have been
any site, but I'm not an aquarium forum *****. Just read the postings in another thread here in regards to mods locking without giving explanation, etc.--yes, this site is going through changes, but it's feeling like a fascist state (and I lived in one overseas for 3 years, so I know of what I speak). With the hijinks and inappropriate actions that go on in another site to remain unnamed, this rampant use of random, unexplained censorship is a travesty. Members are voicing concerns, and some are being addressed; others are made a mockery (as mine).
[CLEAR] COMMUNICATION is so critical when dealing with anyone, especially when it's not face to face. I suggest, as other members have, that PM's be used if a Moderator finds a member's comments questionable rather than just slamming down the lock. Or, if necessary, a post which explains the reason(s) the lock has been or will be slammed down.
These are not trolls racking up posts about pergnat mollies or 12 bala sharks in a 10g tank. And I, for one, have had enough absolutely stupid crap dragging down this site this summer.
I'll probably get BANNED for what I've just said (Mussolini would have had me shot for treason); but, I still live in the United States of America, and many I've known, others before them, and others now, have fought for our freedoms and for the freedoms of others. As the daughter of a fighter pilot warrior, I will not stand idly by. Happy trails.
