Hmm.. People, a site like amiga.org has to cater (sp?) for several different minded people; they have to moderate in the interest of the common good, not just 1 poster (IE the original poster of a certain thread).. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one; or the few. With 3 "factions" all on the same forum this is really difficult.

As for if it is a moderators job for telling user's you're wrong and supply them with links. AFAIK, they are not paid to do this, I doubt they would find the time to hunt around for these links.. Similar as like Wayne stated before; "We don't have time to search for news every hour, we need you to post the news.."

Lots of people her complain about the moderation level at Amigaworld, but as most people agree it is for Amiga OS4 or the classic machines mainly, AROS and MOS aren't important to most of them..

Maybe a "report this post" button can be implemented, tho I feel that's more like a "mommy mommy, those men aren't playing nice" type off button...

LAstly, I do believe a lot of misunderstanding can be avoided if when a threat is locked the moderator who does that also leaves a message of why it is locked, even if it is obvious..
