Some topics of mine were recently locked, when none were breaking the rules.
I want to know how lenient the moderators are here, or if there are just specific ones I should look out for (who don't know how to do their job).

I would imagine there is such a thing, considering several people in this thread and several people in the threads linked were quite aware that the OP's threads were meant to antagonize. The argument that "common sense doesn't exist on Bungie.net" is about as played out and tired as the "I'm not touching you" defense that people try to use because the rule they're breaking isn't specifically listed. The funnier thing is, OP wasn't even banned for his threads, I locked them and sent him a PM telling him why. That's about as lenient as you can get on this board and people still want to gripe about it. [Edited on 11.17.2012 10:08 PM PST]

I really want to respond to your post but if you had just quoted me properly I wouldn't need to.

Some will say don't be a jerk, but that doesn't always get you banned. Some will say use common sense, but there is no such thing. Some will say to read the rules, but they are deliberately vague and ambiguous. Ultimately, what kind of threads will get you banned here entirely depend on the moderator and their mood.

Whenever Foman sees me.

Anything Not Safe For Work is banable.

If it were this easy they'd list 'em in the rules thread. The only thing is the obvious don't be a jerk and post in the most suitable forum. [Edited on 11.17.2012 8:17 PM PST]

My threads, despite their content.
-
Because all threads you make are either controversial, or end up with everyone (understandably) hating on you. Everything thread I've seen you make has had some kind of rude undertone, and some of the Mods don't really take a liking to that. Make threads with better discussion value (without the need to make yourself superior to others) and you'll be set.

Off-topic, religious, political, spam, explicit/inappropriate content, leaks.

I think threads should only get locked if they aren't about how cool and/or how popular I am.
-
I've never been warned or banned in all of my four years of posting. There's logic in the moderators' decisions -it's why they received their title- logic that most users can easily adhere to.
-
Well there you have it, OP. Go read the rules and maybe you should try to be a little nicer in general, based on your thread topics.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bullett Killz Just PM one the mods and they can tell why it was locked.[/quote] I told him why they were all locked because I'm the one that locked them. The purpose of those threads is very obvious and playing dumb isn't going to work. [Edited on 11.17.2012 5:37 AM PST]

Don't go making those "Ask a _____ anything" threads. The Recon mod got a locktacular this morning because of them.
-
I've seen your threads op. I completely understand why they got locked

I'm sure if they were locked they were against the rules, OP.
-
A mod's 'job' is to lock threads. If they're locking yours i'd say they know perfectly well how to do it.
