Allow me to apologize if you get that in this case I think the MODs are trying to oppress you.
At the moment I have not read enough to form an opinion of that nature.
As in other cases I think you simply have a MOD that is not sure of exactly how the guideline is meant to be used and has probably done what he is doing simply because it has always been done that way. That certainly does not make it right.... He has not been a MOD very long has he?
MODs can develop a sense of entitlement to power though. It's a bit of human nature unfortunately.
Questioning them and getting them to seek guidance can lead to them being much more effective at what they do....
We dealt with that in San Antonio.....
A MOD ALWAYS closed threads when a member requested them to be closed.... Another locked threads at his whim..... Both found out they were wrong and threads were unlocked.... Why? Because they were questioned and had to get clarification when put on the spot....
Both simply did it the way they did up until then because "it had always been that way".... and no one questioned it because they feared reprisal...
In the end... the Guidelines had always been that way as well and were ultimately enforced as designed.... not as they felt was right or as they always had been done....
If you don't ask questions you just never know do you....
