Complaint

Angela wrote: Sorry I didn't get to you faster.  I normally ignore the complaints section.

Angela, i need your help.. i tried making posts on some threads but it looks st**id coz i dont belong to those discussions and at times i cant bother myself to read all those stuff and find out whats going on in order to be able to make a sensible post on a particular thread.. u kno what i mean??? so what we are going to do is have a formal discussion over here.. something like introducing ourselves?

first tell me, how many more posts do i need to make?

Look Israfil, i have already thanked Angela for her help. had she not been there, i would still be wondering for help. as for your advice of sending PMs to moderators, keep it for yourself. hve u ever tried it? well i have tried and it didnt work or is it that they dont prefer helping me in particular?

I have stated this a few times before, (I have over 5000 posts and i still don't have access even thou i checked into it, anyway that is not the point) the point is it is rude to move something that some people are in discussion with. Want good policy?? don't be inconsiderate to others who are in discussion by moving them! Angel, How is it inconsiderate and rude to move a post where it actually belongs? What else can be done when a post doesn't belong to the section anymore due to derailed discussions?  Peace

How would you like it if I took your thread or that you are in the middle of talks with others and I just took it all away from you??. you cannot respond to others that are talking to you, and since it is in the rules not to make multiple threads on the same thing or to respond to people who you are talking to you in another thread, you still cannot respond to those who you talk to you. (or vise versa)

I have nothing wrong with putting things where they belong BUT when people are talking and some cannot go into a place then it is inconsiderate! Not to mention it is inconsiderate to those who are asking/talking to the other person who cannot be in a place, and as said you cannot make another thread to respond to those others the respondings either get closed down or deleted! 

Peacemarker, in that natural course of talking, of course things/topics may change, but still it is rude to move elsewhere when some people, involved in discussion, cannot anymore.

Just ask yourself how would you feel? I can't understand why you had to ask me why its rude and inconsiderate  

Derailed discussions or not. It is still inconsiderate!!

Angel,

Thanks for your reply. Okay, what else should be done? As moderators, it is part of our job to ensure that something should be done to "derailed threads." We cannot leave them the way they are.

Should we close such threads all the time, we do close such threads sometimes when things go out of control?

Please suggest me what should be done that wouldn't be rude and inconsiderate.

Peace
