The moderators on this forum seem to close threads like mad?
Is this forum ruled with a iron fist, in controlling fashion?
Started a thread for the .458 Lott in rifles and it got closed in 1/2 page for no good reason???

They prefer to not have 1,000 threads on the same topic. Hence why the bear thread was closed; there are already several open.

Also, they have guidelines for what is and isn't on-topic for discussion here on THR....and just a heads up, this most definitely is not.

(and you did not start a thread on the .458 Lott)

There was a reason given: Tedium.

I seem to see a bit of "I feel" as much as "for the good of the site".


I like them getting after pissin' matches, duplicate threads, off topic and especially SHTF/zombie/ninja... threads but there seems to be an over zealous almost competitive air to some of the aggressive closings lately.

Sure, I've not agreed with everything, but overall, I think the mods do a great job here. They keep the BS to a minimum, and that's a good thing. They put in the hours for free. I wouldn't do it. It's a pretty thankless job.

You know what's funny? When you create two accounts in violations of the rules here, respond to yourself in various threads, and then when you complain that a thread you created was locked, you post it from the wrong account.

Well, Jorg knew something that the rest of us didn't. Looks like they are on to you, sig, feel free to let us know which account is your primary so we know who to PM.....

Not 2 accounts, wiseguy, but same household, one PC and two people...some folks are too smart for their own good?

Then why did you claim to start the thread? From the information he has, it was definitely a reasonable conclusion, and one that I believe for now until we know why you claimed to start it.....or you could leave the hole be and not dig yourself any deeper...

I'm going to go ahead and close this one too.

No point in beating a dead horse.
