Lol spiritual locks.

[Larxene]

They don't work. Evar.

 

Seriously, if you're going to "spiritually lock" a topic, there's still nothing stopping anyone from posting there.

 

Unless their post actually IS saying something important instead of just saying "this needz 2 b locked", then start warning people damn it! D<

OK, i want to ask a (maybe stupid) question.

What are spiritual locks?:P

[J-Max]

Usually if a Mod shows up in the Topic, most people would Back off. That's the reason I do it. It's worked quite well so far as well, oh well until I become a Super and can actually Lock them (I wish lol) I'll just keep showing my presense.

EDIT: Oh and Lar Lar. Spiritual Locks also come with a 20% Warning Level as a nasty surprise for anyone who posts afterwards :P

Remember Swift's topic, or that dueling one posted earlier today?

 

You spiritually locked both of those, but people still posted after you.

 

IT DOESN'T WORK.

When a mod that doesn't moderate the section posts saying it is "locked" until a moderator of that section can actually lock it.

 

 

It's saying the thread is locked, but it really isn't.

 

 

Make sense?

[J-Max]

But I am a Mod! lol Well i'll keep to the 20% thing anyway. Hopefully that will at least slow it down a little.

Yes it does make sense.

Now that i got what a spiritual lock is, isn't it kind of pointless? People know that moderators can't lock threads that are not located in their section/forum, so even if a mod posts saying a thread is locked, people will keep posting in it until a super one closes it.

 

Conclusion: J-Max must become a super mod.xP

A "spiritual lock" makes every post after that lock illegal, and classes it as Intentional Spamming, which in turn is a warnable offense.

I realize that, but the problem is that no one ever gets warned.

Last time i checked, Intentional Spamming= 50%.

YOUR'E TOO NICE J-MAX.

[J-Max]

Mild Spamming = 20% or +2 Points :P I think it's right

You confirmed that, and then say that it is MILD spamming less than 2 hours later.

-__-

[J-Max]

There's quite a big line between Intentional and Mild. Intentional is doing it non-stop over and over again. Mild is making that simple mistake of posting after a Mod has "Spiritually Locked" it. Like I said, I would prefer it if I could actually Lock them but this seems to be a slighty effective measure.

[Umbra]

Intentional Spamming is spamming when you know that you are spamming, i.e. posting after a Spiritual Lock.

 

So yeah, posting in an S-Locked thread is intentional spamming.

[J-Max]

But then 50% is a little Extreme lol. That's why I go with the Mild Spamming selection for 20%

[Umbra]

Posting in a thread that is locked in everything but name is Intentional Spamming. If I encounter it, there will be +50%'s on their way.

[Larxene]

Finally.

 

Someone who knows how to do it right.

[Umbra]

It's also good to know that posting in a de facto-locked thread is Reportable.

[Yasu]

=O

*magatama*

Wait...

Haven't see them ¬¬

[Bloodrun]

The spiritual Lock is a load of crap. Along with this thread, it isn't a suggestion, its a rant.

 

 

Anyway, I simply warn those whom should know not to post in a thread.

 

In fact, I will no longer give a "verbal warning", if you break a rule, that you should know, your getting warned, and that's the bottom line.

Thanks for defining a "spiritual" or de-facto lock for us, Bloodrun.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm-ish?

[TrickyPooBoy]

Depending on the elite-ness of the mod, people will back off.

Just a tiny bit.

 

What is really humorous on the other hand is that you spill some liquid hate on Spiritual Locks, and then proceed to telling us that you are doing exactly what defines a Spiritual Lock.
