Quote from Esponeo
EDIT: You should all be aware that moderators are not actually capable of suspending or warning anyone in any meaningful way. We can delete posts, but as this thread has once again shown, people simply continue on with their shouting matches. The only method we have to stop the children from bickering is to lock a topic completely. It is an unfortunate technical issue.
If Esponeo closes a topic in which there is spammers, flamers, w.e he can delete posts, in which users may spam more... or he can lock the topic (which pisses me of the most) because its unfair to the rule abiding users to participate in the thread. If Esponeo had more powers to warn or suspend people he could individually target spammers, flamers, etc.. to end there participation in the topic then delete or edit there posts so rule abiding discussion can continue. He can't though, so he looks like a dick, and now I understand his reasoning.
None.
