	It looks to me that Dave is locking his own threads. We have unlimited editing time, so the originator of a thread can always lock it. If a mod had locked it, the mod's name would appear on the first page. Phil -----signature----- "There has to be a difference between us and those we fight. We must remain Jedi." "And if we lose?

	I have locked my own threads and moved them to: the Chicago Force Holonet. Abandoning FanForce and locking my threads are personal protests against the pig-ignorant moderation that goes on around here. These boards belong to FanForce, it's their rules and I don't agree to them, so on those grounds they've asked me to leave, therefore I am. I understand that public access message boards need to be moderated or they end up being garbage like the IMDB movie boards. Spam, flame wars and overtly disruptive behavior need to be curtailed by a rational moderator with veto power. Especially when it comes to deciding exactly what "disruptive behavior" is since it's truly a judgment call that has to be taken on a case-by-case basis that can't be summed up in a list of words. I like how the idiot n00b moderators want to tell me about FF TOS considering there wasn't a written FF TOS until I suggested it and the original (not current) TOS was partially written by me. My suggestions weren't out of a want for more moderation, but to curtail the overzealous jack***** who would edit, delete or move anything they found personally offensive...and of course the unofficial rule amongst some mods that discussing Star Wars topics in FanForce message boards was banned because that was reserved for the JC; out of fear that the JC would lose posts to FF. Unfortunately it was mostly the whack-jobs who ended up with the most power (thanks to the restrictive Fundamentalist Christian attitudes of TFN co-owner, Reverend Joshua Griffin and the like) and it was the more restrictive B* that became the norm for modding. Over the course, most of the original moderators were forced out or quit because of the inane politics of the "upper-level" mod world and eventually the Phil Wise buy-out. The new and remaining mods may think they are serving some greater good for Star Wars fandom, and that may be true in the few cases when they actually contribute to the community or step in to moderate a board that is actually being disrupted in such a way that only a moderator can do damage control. Outside of that, their only motivation is the feeling of self-righteousness when policing (and possibly the camaraderie amongst fellow self-righteous do-gooders). Either way, in the end, they are all merely unpaid guardians of the Phil Wise marketing franchise. Good luck with that, Dave EL Edit: Starred out disallowed words -----signature----- Visit the Chicago Force Message Boards at: http://www.chicagoforce.org/bb.asp MySpace sell-out.... http://www.myspace.com/boshtalk MFFF

	was just told that my new day off patter at work is now Saturday / Sunday sounds good right? my old day off patter was Friday / Saturday oh, and I work 4-pm to minight.....those hours stay the same, so......no more Friday night off for me, and Sunday was a very quiet night when I could cause a lot of trouble posting and Friday night is the hardest day of the week and my hoped for 4 day work week was nixed with I do not have enough senority (over 36 yrs at this point) ok, enough wimpy whining from me for now.......just hate to change my routine, though I could retire (am 57 now).......maybe sooner than I thought. -----signature----- ___Just a Trooper___ __________________ Click link below__ for recent bio http://boards.theforce.net/ASP/user.asp?usr=1165677 __________________
