I've got zero locked threads but I don't generally start threads. I've started only 13 threads since 2005. Never been slapped either.

Since 2004:

Out of my 340 threads - 6 in total have been locked.

My last locked thread was from 2005, it was a duplicate 'Merry Christmas' Thread.

1 was Flamebait, another was an apology for said flamebait. I went over the top on bringing a religious discussion to the forum without knowing what I was talking about.

2 were ones I requested to be locked as 1 was a sensitive discussion and the other was for a project that needed a new thread.

And the other was me criticing the forum for being so inflammatory, perhaps unjustly...I can't remember.



As for slaps: Only once. Me and Soapyfish were joking about how to get a thread locked (not being serious) but I took the joke too far by calling the mods a really offensive name. Tactfully done.

This is why I think there should be a limit of 1 or 2 new threads per week per person.

0 out of 12 threads, since 2004. I'm not really much of a thread starter I guess...

I was banned once 2 years ago for a month, because another user was trolling around and my IP had crossed with his. Guess that's what happens if you use the forums at school.

Oh, and I was slapped for posting ponies.

I disagree. A noob will make a lot more posts than a pro, because they need help, and usually have a lot of questions (sometimes up to 2 threads a day). We have moderators to fish out the bad guys.

6 out of 32 threads. A lot of which where requested by me as the threads came to the end of their useful time. Or no one replied for a while so they have slowly slipped away, not sure if those count as locked.

I think I have been slapped twice but I can't remember, It's been enough for me to behave, mostly

I have 8 locked threads. A few are locked because of request and a couple are locked because the purpose of the thread was completed.

Then a few are locked because I'm an idiot

And I've been slapped 1 time, it was years ago when I first made my account. I called some guy an idiot and got slapped for it. Never been banned.

Many.


Well okay seven, and in my defence they were all quite a while ago, except the most recent one which was locked because my question was answered and then people started being silly


Although I was once known as the guy who 'turns threads into trash'. Ah, old glory

Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to have a gander.

There's my first noob thread, that was answered, then locked. An attempt to create a sticky thread, apparently, that was locked. A 3D chat thread on the FPSC board, and a thread about a new, Earth-like planet that devolved into religious debate, then was locked.

Four, out of sixty-eight. Ten red-threads, a bunch of less-than ten posters, and guess which thread has the most posts of all of them?

Yeh, my most successful thread...is "that" thread, amazed it's still kicking, to be honest.

65 threads posted, 5 locked, not bad.

@Obese What the heck man?!!?! Are you trying to get you self banned or slapped or this thread locked? Haha you arent like that...

@everyone else Haha so i guess then i have around 5 to 10 percent of my threads locked! I guess that's quite a few. As said before, never slapped nor banned. Most of my locked ones i think were just me being an idiot and allowing my thread to go off topic, and maybe 2 i dont why they got locked. I suppose for a good reason though!

@nackidno I wouldnt count them as being locked, if that were the case then the majority of threads on this forum would be considered locked. I mean locked by a mod! However you avatar is rather strange i must say!

There is one game i play, it has perfect looking raycasting and is rendered at a very high FPS real time. This game i find very fun. What is this game? This game is life on earth.

1/9, and it was just because it fulfilled it's purpose, and I don't think that I've ever been slapped or banned. I am a bit curious though, after reading the 9/11 thread, how many comments the mods have given me.

There is a log of all mod actions. I don't know how far back it goes though. It would be an interesting read for some, particularly those who think I have moderated them when I haven't...

@Jeku Being that you are a mod and are super powerful, none of your locked threads count!

Haha and speaking of this, i heard on another thread that you can get negative marks? How many do i have?

Well I don't, and I don't think any other mods, give them out simply for locking a thread. If you were offensive, particularly obnoxious or generally a giant pain who people were complaining about then you would get one.

I don't believe there is anything that happens when you receive 'x' amount of warning points, good luck scoring a nice valued member etc. badge though if you have some.

There should be a way that we can view our negative marks, now I'm curious as to mine. (are there positive ones as well?)
But I believe I have 5 locked threads, which is a little embarrassing considering I've only been around for a couple of years. Then again I did post quite a few threads.
