I understand that basis and I dont really think anyone is disagreeing with it either.
The point is that people have witnessed that sometimes a thread is deleted/locked/edited in an early fashion with what seems to be almost no reason to lock/delete/edit it. Of course it is the choice of the moderator of the forum, but that doesn't mean that the choice is always appropriate or right.
I think what people have witnessed is a lack of parallels among some of the moderators. Meaning that some moderators will lock or delete or edit a thread only if personal attacks are involved, while another might do the same because the thread was repetitive or "went off topic." To be honest, many a good ocnversation on these boards start from "off topic" posts.
Now, this isn't a "bash mods" thread because to be honest the majority of the mods do a great job. That is another point that I don't thinkanyone can argue. Yes, the mods do deserve more credit than they get. I believe most of you are doing an outstanding job.
