What the post was addressing isn’t at issue. I know I can’t do what he did, furthermore if someone asked me a question in a thread that was closed and I started a new one just to do that, it may not be looked up in a good light.
So, just to be clear, you’re saying a mod is, effectively, allowed to continue a discussion in a closed thread? Keeping in mind that should the person they were replying to wanted to reply back, they can’t. That is, by definition, ‘getting in the last word’.
We should keep in mind that zombie threads are often closed for the sole reason that posters can’t respond, yet you’re implying (but I’m waiting for clarification) that it’s okay for mods to keep posting in closed threads where posters can’t reply.
Interestingly, I found a thread where he was called out for ‘getting in the last word’ then locking the thread before anyone could reply (something I know other mods of have been called out on as well). I didn’t read through the thread or click on the links so I really don’t have an opinion, but one post of his did catch my attention.
6 years ago and he was already talking about deleting his own posts. :dubious:
Sure, maybe a joke, maybe a sarcastic comment, but the fact that eventually happened makes me think it’s a trick he’s always known he had up his sleeve.
