ok,so a thread got locked almost immediately because there was a little banter and quarrel, in a thread that is meant for nothing BUT debate and quarrel.

so if that's not being civil, just what in hell are we meant to reply with to keepo a debate open? "carry on chaps, i'm on the fence either way"

seems bloody pathetic if i have to say so :S

secondly, we have a debate section, and a current events section, any time i've seen a current event that i want to debate, it get's moved from the debate section to the current events section. just go for one section Cheesy as on the whole debates are sparked by a current event..

anyhoo, just saying i'm not particualrly happy with where the site appears to be heading, very overclocker.co.uk-esque

I've just PM'ed Babar on this as i couldn't see why it needed to be locked. With the forums almost dead (political one anyway) I can see that this sort of moderating will kill it off alltogether. Perhaps thats Sudhians intention for all we know?

I have opened it again, I agree with you two and I see no reason for why it was locked. I will contact Babar later over it, when I get the chance.

Hugh, interesting suggestion about CE/debate sections, perhaps you are right and that some posts really belong in debate rather than CE.

I can discuss this with the other Mods, maybe we can change our policy and start moving "hot" threads over to the debate section.

Thanks for bringing it up.

Also VorLonUK, thanks for PMing me. Sent you a response.
