Problem on the Knicks board.
Posted: Sat Jan 30, 2010 11:02 pm
A little over a week ago, a user by the name of KELLZ starts a weekly pick'em contest. He's taking the time to look at everyone's picks, keep the standings updated in google spreadsheets, etc.
So it comes time for week 2, and he makes a new thread for it. He has to do this in order to be able to keep up with everyone's picks, rather than going and searching through 1 giant thread, which would be a lot harder. Keep in mind that on the Knicks board, a thread will disappear off the first page after a few hours if no one responds to it, so having a new thread every week is not a big deal at all.
Anyway, an unknown mod decides to merge the threads. KELLZ explains why he needs a separate thread, and asks that they be unmerged. Nothing happens. He proceeds to make another week 2 thread, which gets deleted, then he makes a thread asking mods why they're merging his threads, and THAT thread gets deleted without any explanation. So after he almost gives up on pick'em, several users (including a retired mod) convince him to try one more time, because this is a cool idea. So he makes yet another week 2 thread, and of course it's merged. Again, no explanation.
Can something be done about this? There is no reason whatsoever why this should be happening, and if a mod is going to continually delete/merge these threads, shouldn't there at least be an explanation?
Here's a link to the thread and the standings page.
