Are the mods here really on the ball? They lock a thread about 5 year olds playing Halo after 5 post but let a thread about euthanizing mentally ill people go on forever. Doesn't that seem a little off?

I think the 5 year olds thread was locked because it was posted in the wrong forum.

Halo is a game. It belongs in The General Game Discussion board--not here. Off-Topic deals with things besides videogames.

Yeah but it wasn't about the game. It was about people playing the game

It still goes in The General Game Discussion board. Come on now. It might not deal with the game, but it still DISCUSSED about Halo.

Ok, the first thread I ever posted was quite embarrasing, but it was "do you hide your video games when girls come to your place" That was related to video games, but to my knowledge, it never got locked

It had the word "video games" in it. You never said anything about a CERTAIN game. He was talking about HALO. That's a certain game, which does not involve Off-Topic.

Mods are here, mods are there. Are mods everywhere? Hmm... we're mods, not gods. People report or they don't. Mods see it or they don't. Is your answer in there? Should be.

I don't know if that was supposed to be funny or not but I laughed (in my mind).

Expand your mind... read not in a literal manner. An answer will come in time... or it might not.

But he answered the TC's question. It's right there. Just got to decipher it correctly. Might be a riddle, but the answer is right there, explaining as to why a thread such as the Halo got locked and the mental one did not. Mods do not see everything. They only see what people report. Remember that...

...Or maybe I explained too much.
