In most of the other boards that I participate in, and in the ones that I moderate, there is always an explanation in a closed topic as to why it was closed (even if it's only cut-and-paste from the "rules of conduct"). And there is always an explanation if someone is banned as well.
That's a possible item of improvement for this board and xltronic.

Inverted Whale I do suggest you read some of my other posts that I posted where I said that I prefered the way this board is being run as opposed to the absolute cahos of the USENET..
oh there is definite hostility if you are continualy encouraging me to leave the board...
alas it is not upto you..
but upto me..or the Moderators and the Webmasters

Tooting my own horn, I've locked two topics so far, and I gave a paragraph explaining why it was, and what (insert name here) could do to NOT get their topics locked. And the other mods have done similar things, I remember Jand doing it the other day. I don't see a problem here... unless maybe I missed something.
But I agree with you in that we should give a reason and not just say ''TOPIC CLOSED''.

I agree..I have almost always seen an explanantion of sorts..other shutdowns are well pretty self explanatory..the original post goes..wiggly wiggly whee doodle..and it's followed by a lot of the same..

My post wasn't meant as a reply to yours, I would have used the followup option if that was the case. It was directed toward any reader of the topic.
I'm not specifically encouraging you to do anything more than any other participant of the message board.

Next time I'll be more careful of my usage of the word "you." Sorry about any misunderstanding.

I have been editing a book comprised of the experimental data I've gradually collected over a 10 year period on this subject. My working title is "The Snickle-Snackle Principle: Evolved Manifestations of Tyranny in Democratic Systems and the ethics of Banishment; a Contemporary Perspective and Analysis"
