Exactly what I was about to say. :)

Really ? when did you decide what this site was for I wonder ?

Neither you nor me can decide on that. It has already been choosen by Jelsoft what this site serve for :

vBulletin.org - The Ultimate vBulletin Resource
The Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

While I agree all candidates are already webmasters and forum administrators already, everyone runs their site differently. Yes, this site is for teaching. This site is for both learning vBulletin, and for learning to administrate your own sites. I understand your frustration, and I'm sure that all the new staff is trying their best not to close threads just for the sake of closing them. There is still a learning curve with the new staff. No one is trying to be "power hungry"; just trying do a good job for the site and it's members.

I for one appreciate the posts here and we will make an effort not to close any thread for no reason, but there are going to be times when they will need to be closed.

I want this to be positive in saying I will make an honest effort in moderating fairly. :)

Thanks for your positive post Roms , as i really didn't start this thread with bad feelings or blame anyone. What i've seen lately at vb.org bugged me and if something bugs me i go on discuss that thing honestly. We are all adult people here and we sure can communicate without insulting each other. People may make mistakes or they may not think that the acts they are taking can disturb other people. I came here to post my decision and make my points. It is up to staff to correct this issue or not.

Another point is noone at vb.org have a right to talk without respect to another person even he is admin or mod or any other secial user title. Everyone on this site shall know that people who use this board are Jelsoft customers and they deserve to be acted professional way. If someone cannot handle that they shall step down their position in order to protect Jelsoft reputation.

As mentioned before, all communities handle moderation differently, and (as forum owners) we also also differ in how we moderate individually. For any new staff member, the first obstacle is balancing these two components together.

If you ever feel that a thread was wrongly closed, just contact staff, and we will reevaluate the action. :)

as for a BIG-MEGA-PROLIFIC community, each one know that a lot of rules have to be applied, but foremost, the moderators and other parts of the team have to learn from eachothers...

sure some advisors took their task too seriously at the first day, they were all advises-whoring, and that was obvious this time... they were not teached at first, and they start to act like they were on their own site... (actually, these guys lost their situation the day after, due to a lot of facts, but...)

that,s exactly like for any new member of a team.. there is a moment of latency wher errors occur, new moves and new thoughts are applied, and that's ok... they will learn quickly i'm sure!

Lizard... They are just locking a few too many threads... it isn't as if they are grossly mismanaging their moderation powers.

By the way, what is your native language? (I am assuming you are not a native english speaker)

Recently I seen thread being close because it was answer. In my opinion, no thread should be close in vB.org unless the topic has gone off course. Or if they say, "No" on things they want from vB.org.

But like everyone says (or by few), they're just doing their jobs. Keep in mind, probably that how they do it on their forums.

Honestly, the exageration in this is amazing. The new staff have closed five threads since they joined, all of them in the first two days as they were getting used to the way we work here. Let's get back to a sense of reality please. :)
