Default I think my thread was locked unfairly.

I made a post about how crappy absolute pokers service with their checks. I think this is revelent informaiton as it might help a player choose weather or not to play a absolute poker. IMO if a site is taking a long time/lying about cashouts this should be made public. Unfortunatly the mod that deleted it doesnt think so.

When I contacted him about this he said he recived a complaint (my guess from someone at absolute poker).

Here is the thread:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...e=0#Post9289818

If this was a valid lock.. What could i have done diffrent to get my point across about absolute pokers cashouts being delayed and them lying to their customers about the current status of the cashouts.

thanks

I can not really see why anyone would choose to play there.

Tell us how you really feel.

I think there is a difference between stating a problem with a site and trying to single-handedly get all of 2+2 to leave the site.

V is for Vendetta.

I was that mod.

I thought the OP gave his starting thoughts with:

[ QUOTE ]
Absolute poker sucks. (Checks)


[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

The middle story was there with the OP being fair and giving the site's response:

[ QUOTE ]
They emailed me today (after i emailed them) and told me their was a mixup and that they are sending the checks via snail mail.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then the conclusion. OP made his feelings clear about the site admitting there was a mix-up:

[ QUOTE ]
THIS SUCKS.ABSOLUTE POKER SUCKS!


[/ QUOTE ]

Therefore, imo, the thread had run its course, so I locked it.

The reader who complained, as far as I believe, has no relationship with the site concerned, and simply felt the thread was of no further value. I agree with his judgement.

isnt it up to the READER to determine if there is value? IE if no one cares there will be no more replies and the thread will move down and down.

In a perfect world, I think I'd put it like this:

isn't it up to the OP to determine if there is value?

As it isn't a perfect world, we need mods in the forums to, (amongst many other things), determine value when an OP appears not to have the interest of other forum readers in mind, but simply wants to use the forums to vent because he thinks he has been hard done by.
