The bottom line is, if a debate is done properly where both people are seeking there hardest to prove there point (and in turn "defeat" the opposing argument) but still will admit defeat when defeated than it is fine.
NEWAY though, the thread was fine, was locked for no reason, you guys are backing it cause of some random attempt to show respect for a mod. The iran thread should of been locked if anything before the other one on the grounds that he locked that one, so it was clear it was completely arbitrary.
When someone can point out why that thread was removed as opposed to the others ill stop ranting on this. Which was the point from the very beginning till people who had no idea on the situation tagged along.

The fact that this thread drifted shows that quite frankly no-one but you cares. We're here to enjoy ourselves, and although you're delightfully crackpot conspiracy theorys fall into that catagory. My vote of confidence in Slade is based on the entire time I've been on this board. Slade offered you the chance to appeal to Chefelf but you declined claiming further bias. If you think all the admin team are against you then it would make sense just to shut up and deal with it.
I still stand by my arguement that your actions in this entire thread stand as nothing more than a laughable attempt at rabble rousing.

People on this forums honestly, no offense don't read. It's clear to me now. I mean they just don't read posts at all.
I never claimed a "conspiracy".. i dont think he locked the thread because of spite for me, i think he locked the the thread simply from poor judgement/"modsmanship". As for the chefelf thing, yet another no conspiracy but just common sense. When one mod makes a decision, he can give virtually any reason because its HIS opinion and usually higher ups just won't disagree unless its something blatent.
I've made NO argument in this thread, i'm not arguing, im ASKING a question, on WHY the thread was locked vs other threads in this forums that arent. It still hasn't been answered because morons like you keep popping up with bullshit that is irrelevent. I tried to be civil but you guys honestly don't know how to read posts and make general assumptions outto ur ass.

As for the reason given, all I can see is this:
Your first assertion is that the thread had become me and JM shouting while others cheered on. I don't see how it was "shouting" but how is that different from other threads and why would it be locked if simply only a few people were debating?
Flaming? Where was there more flaming in that thread than any other? I never made a personal attack on the guy nor did he of me that I took offense to...
Repetition? Wtf? Don't even know where you got that so I can't comment.
This is what I think REALLY happened ... you looked at the threads, noticed it was two people vehemently arguing and decided oh this is too much arguing for my taste i'm gonna delete it (even though nobody had complained and nobody had been feeling flamed) even though it was IN the debate forum. I'd also like to point out how you still haven't given me a reason or example to how that thread was any different from the Iran thread or any other given thread in the forums that actually involves people legitimatly debating rather than spamming stupid jokes like "LETS HAVE THE OLYPMICS IN IRAQ OGMOGMOGMG BLOW SHIT UP YAAAAA". I think the real problem with this debate forum was that it never WAS debate to begin with. Most of the threads i see are people just agreeing with everything said or just joking around bout useless shit like oh should we rob Trump. Finally a thread came about with someone disagreeing with the mainstream of the users here and it was perceieved as "flaming" rather than what this forum was made for: debate. That's just my analysis of it though..

Do you ever remember what you type?
Sarcasm? Mockery? Wordplay? You don't need to mention a specific word for intentions to be clear, but of course a mod like you deals with this sort of thing every day.
Same again. Do you even realise when people are taking the piss?
Slade's given you reasons, you just don't seem to like them. As he said; accept them or go higher up, because otherwise you just present the impression of being a posturing moron.

That was painful to read. No need for a rebuttal except in a few lines: I do remember what I type and again I never accused him of locking the thread because of personal issues.
People taking the piss? They simply they thought the thread shouldn't of been locked... read up maybe you can read the phrase "I don't agree" or something of that nature and maybe you'll deduce the same thing i did.
His reason is like saying, "I found it inappropriate". It's a meaningless statement.. you could say about ANY thread because its totally in the eye of the beholder. When I said reason i meant an ACTUAL example or some form of differentiation between that thread and every other thread

Power struggle..?
Is everyone here like literally incompetent. The point isn't me or him in particular, its just a matter of WHY WAS A THREAD LOCKED. I'm getting tired of you guys just spamming bullshit now though so I'll actually file a complaint so I can get a reason besides, "it was repetetive/flaming". Though I doubt anything will happen since you supposidly backed me and failed... proving my point that threads that get locked/closed are virtually gone for good 99.9% of the time.

Either
1)Delete this thread
2)Ban Renegade
3)Bring back the first thread. You know, the one we're arguing about.
Or any combination of the above.
