[quote kentofnsl]For various reasons:
1) Personal attacks, one right after another
2) Banned users coming back with new usernames and trying to cause the moderators grief
Be aware that many times a member only sees the "cleaned up thread" that has been locked, but never sees the posts that were deleted or sees what was edited. Believe me, I would prefer to never have to lock a thread, but if we didn't the forum would quickly become out of control. If you happened to see Doug Miller's old forum or the old Utah Fish Finder forum you know what I am talking about.[/quote]
Yep. It's a two way street. Some members are begging for criticism and others are all too willing to dish it up. Endless cycle.
The majority of us just enjoy sharing reports or reading other people's reports and viewing all the great pictures other members take and share. But there are some who you can obviously tell don't get enough enjoyment out of those things, they feel the need to belittle, prod and harass each other for enjoyment. That shouldn't be tolerated.
I'm glad you guys are stopping it instead of letting it go on. Good work.[
