After reading [Chinese billionaire/murderer pays gov't 6 billion$ not to execute him - Great Debates - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=351207) I feel I can post this all-the-while retaining my practically useless $15 posting privilege. I don’t post much, though I search a good bit through these forums.A while back I posted a harmless thread about a Chinese billionaire slated for execution. I wanted to have an “intellectual” discussion about, well… YOU find the thread. I started the thread several months ago. All the doper’s posts came within a week or two. I then found a useful peaceful piece of information about said thread, so I posted it. I posted it several months after the last post to my thread. 10 minutes after I posted a harmless supplement to my “OP”, my thread was locked. The excuse given for the thread lock was LAAAAAAAAME. Beyond lame: Nazi like. Who the fuck do you think you are? You didn’t even give anybody time to respond to my fledgling update. Ban me if I’m in the wrong, I couldn’t give less of a shit (just don’t charge my credit card for another year of this tripe.) Another thing, your sit is SLOW as hell. That’s why I double post all the time. I’m a member of another forum that has over 200,000 members And there is NO charge). This other site even let’s you edit posts. It also has NO down time when searching/editing/posting posts. My billionaire post (as EVERY post is on this site [in my experience]) was extremely slow to react. It went to “URl timed out, please try again” or something similar over ten times before accepting my post. You know good and well that the StraightDope message board is in lack of proper bandwidth (especially considering that over 61,000 people pay $15 dollars/year, how much is that?..BULLSHIT!) And Moderators, are you even getting paid for being an asshole? If not … that’s pretty sad. Rise Up dopers! Demand faster service, demand higher bandwidth for the money you spend. Al in all, I like this website. But to the over-moderating/ sit at home eating ice cream/ whacking off to Al Gore’s SNL appearance/ parents who hates them/ got no respect in middle-High School/ keyboard warrior/ moderating Nazis… get a life ---

Often, an old thread includes statements from posters who are no longer members, and so cannot reply. It’s therefore “unfair” to re-open old discussions.

Infraction of these guidelines is not as serious as rules violations, these basically reflect what we’d call “good manners.” Please read the companion threads FAQ -... I suspect this was the real reason for closing your thread - however, I agree that whatever the reason, it was poorly explained, to say the least. As for why the place is slow, there’s plenty of previous threads dealing with that question. ---

I’m quite partial to weak arsed, frivolous and intellectual pussies actually. But then, I thrive on mediocrity. And re the board speed? It always works fast enough for my retarded brain and arthritic fingers to keep up with. Any speedier and I’d start having palpitations and an attack of the vapours…and we wouldn’t want that happening now would we? 😃😃 Got anything else to complain about? ---

We had this issue at a board that I moderate … damned kids, digging up the zombies. Leave’em be, stupid kids, but noooooooo, the wee bastards wanna dig up a three-year old, 500 page thread, so they can add their stupid, idiotic, appendix of a post to it. ---

But to clarify: the moderators sit at the right hand of Cecil, theirs is the transcendent clarity, their integrity exceeded only by intellects vast, cool and asymmetric. The occupy a place roughly equivalent to the Serafim or Bhoddisatva. While it is true they are not always right, they are never wrong, and it is our privilege to bask in their incandescence. The OP should stifle his complaints, and make sacrifice to the jackal-headed god Anewbies. ---

Just to clarify, your link wasn’t working and our weak-arsed moderator, **MEBuckner** fixed it for you. I agree, that was decidedly frivolous of him. Dunno why he bothered really. 😃 ---

Fucking literalists… the thread in question was a zombie thread. Zombiness round here starts in circa three months, and is in the full-on, brian-eating ickiness at nine months. Of course, any “moron” could have learned that by not being a moron here for any period of time. Fuckwits… :rolleyes: What is soooooooooo fucking difficult about not digging up zombies? ---

So, there’s one thing I always wonder about OPs like this one – if your other messageboard is so much faster and has 200k members and is free and all that - then why the hell did you pay to join this one? Sounds like you’re the “wanna-be”. ---

Edit “BrightSmite” as … fuckwit. Edit “brian” as brain. As for minding my own business, fuckwit, the threads here are open to all. And a serious inquiry wouldn’t go here anyway, would it, fuckwit? And any non-moron here knows to not open old threads. 'Cept you, fuckwit. It would go to the forum where concerns are expressed about board ops. ---
