What is the reasoning behind locking a thread vs deleting it?

Recommended Posts

Some threads are deleted because there is no reason for them to be in the forums in the first place. For example, something labled "The most disturbing video in the history of the internet" really has no value to this site. A thread such as that really does not meet the standard that Sangiro and the new owners are trying to withold on dz.com. It's also the reason why porn will get deleted. If someone is upset about not being able to see that link, they can just Google it.




Yet the "Which anal beads" thread remains. Not much logic there now is there?

But, it has a great line in there about removing them like pull-starting a lawnmower, and that alone is worth the thread.

And this is why I quit moderating.... People that are supposed to be part of this fucking community cant see the fucking difference between a tread that links to a fake video of a guy putting a jar up his ass and then it breaking, and asking a question about something sexual.

If you dont get it, then you really are thick...

If you read Skymama's sentence carefully, everything becomes clear.

Hint for the thick: Keyword = withhold.

Additional keyword = standards

Since when did skydivers have standards?

Hey SimonBones you still here?



Why are you responding to me asking if simonbones is still here?



What? Hmm? Yes? I'm here. I haven't been spending as much time on dropzone.com anymore after I lost a little faith in it as a medium for skydivers to communicate. Reasoning, Skymama's:

The ability to have threads like the one mentioned and post the links that were posted were examples of the reasons why I like visiting dropzone.com. Having a body of users come to this site and click on advertisement links brings the owners money. Threads like the one discussed are what keep me coming to the site and potentially clicking on advertisement links. Therefor, "something labled The most disturbing video in the history of the internet" does have value to this site. It's why I'm here!

But I guess if the site will not be a medium of open and uncensored communication between skydivers, I'll spend less time on this site and take my profit-making-advertisement-clicks elsewhere.

Might I suggest going to Rec.skydiving if you want uncensored communication between skydivers?

This site has always had some level of moderation. Rec. was usless due to the spammers and extremely high noise to signal ratio. You see how many complaints were lodged whe nwe had an account that was spamming via PM's the other week, we addressed that fairly quickly and disabled the account and still people complained there was not enough "action" taking to stop the person from spamming.

If the voice of the entire community says they want this to become the next 4chan or whatever then something will have to adjust since that is outside the vision of the managers (and the ones who pay the bills) of this site. On the other hand a small but extremely vocal minority will not be allowed to hijack the site and make it their own personal playground if this is not in the vision of the site owners.
