Power hungry Moderators? 

Post#1 » by gordito » Wed Apr 3, 2013 10:10 pm

What's with the power hungry Moderators locking threads because people don't agree with them? More specifically, I've seen a few threads locked by tsherkin over the past week after people have questioned his opinions.

I'm not talking about new one-page threads. Threads that have a good 15 pages or so are just abruptly ended for no other reason, and the common trend on the last couple of pages are usually 2-3 people ganging up on the Moderator and telling him/her why they're wrong (a.k.a debating).

Is RealGM no longer a Democracy?

I did not read anywhere in the RealGM terms of service that the discussion forum is bounded by the principles of democracy.

Referencing the Henderson thread I presume?

Take this to the Feedback forum, where it belongs. Also, bitterness after catching a warning for derailing last month is unbecoming.
