[Query-Mods Only] Locked Ukraine Thread

Postby Shofercia » Thu Feb 28, 2019 7:59 pm

Aaaand we're done.

Shofercia, you can go appeal in Moderation but don't re-post before you get a ruling or this one is unlocked.


First, I want to thank Farn for the ruling, and a cautionary note instead of a warning later on. That's cool! (I'm not joking, you guys know I'm direct in moderation.)

Second, before appealing, I just want to clarify the reason behind it. Vassenor, the poster who yells off topic every time someone says something that Vassenor doesn't like, did the very best to drive this thread off topic, and it's gone off the rails. If the thread was locked because its gone off the rails into off topic land, I can understand the lock, as there's clear cut precedent for it, and appealing it would be pointless. If there's another reason, I may consider an appeal.

Additionally, (and mods please correct me if I'm wrong on this,) the Russia-Ukraine arguments can be rehashed in another thread, and the EuroVision arguments can be rehashed in that thread. With that said, two questions:

1: Was the thread locked because it went into off topic land?
2: If not, what was the reason for its lock?

I used pronouns until the mods made using wrong pronouns warnable, so I use names instead; if you see malice there, that's entirely on you, and if pronouns are no longer warnable, I'll go back to using them

It was off-topic on the first page. You say it was Vassenor's fault but from what I saw, you joined in on the back-and-forth on "Russia good! Ukraine bad!" etc., too. The thread was not discussing Ukraine's withdrawal from Eurovision, it was discussing you supporting Russia, other people not supporting Russia, and all that. Honestly, I thought the thread title and the OP were pretty trollish vis-a-vis Ukraine. That's just my opinion and I let it go as long as a discussion might come from it. When you were reduced to posting "0/10" and "-1/10" and "-2/10," that was the last straw.

I went through the thread in its entirety. I concur with Farn's assessment and am okay with the lock.

Thank you for the clarification guys!

Since it was locked primarily due to the thread going off topic, I'm not going to appeal.
