Make sense?

Anyways, that isn't my point in the last post, my point was you guys should really handle things better. Send a PM.

With this board, you can lock a thread and leave it for half a day without many problems, IMO. If you look at most of the forums there isn't a full first page of content that is a day old.
Now, if that changes, then obviously leaving the locked thread there that long would be more of a problem, and we'd have to shorten the amount of time it was left accordingly.

As a follow up, I personally have no prior moderating experience, so this is all new to me. It's gonna take some time for me to figure all the options I have and what I can control. There's quite a bit of work to get the board back on track, so give it some time. I think it's heading in the right direction, but anyone sees something we're missing, PM a moderator/admin/super admin or report the post. We'll see it quicker that way.

For example, the threads today where everyone is asking where the Kill Stories forum went. If they would read that, they'd know.
The forum is like a river. You need to do what you can to keep it flowing and not have as many rocks in the way.
