The amount of thread locking. Why on earth was rosecott's thread locked?
Chris661 - were you bullied at school or something?

So because I lock a thread that means I choose what is allowed on the forum?
Chill out Stevie. This isn't your forum, it belongs to someone else. If you don't like it then the worlds your lobster... Calm down and join the fun...
TBH I fail to see how Rosecott's thread was insulting or deserving of being virtually instantly locked. The 'this isn't you forum' line is very true - repeat it to yourself slowly, two or three times until it sinks in
The thread was reported for insulting behaviour.
That's the simple truth of the matter.
Does this mean that if someone reports a post as insulting the post is infact insulting. I would suggest not necessarily. Surely the Moderator looking into the complaint should make a decision based on reasonability. If they consider the complaint to be unfounded they should inform the complainer of the fact.
Personally I cannot comprehend how the post in question could have been insulting.

Basically that's it. We all have to use our own initiative. I didn't find it insulting personally to me but the person who did had a valid reason, which was obvious to me once they made me aware. On the other hand I have not actioned reported posts because the person reporting was just doing so out of spite. Which is established based on known previous issues between the poster and the reporter.
If a genuine valid unbiased reason is given then it is easy to make a decision.

I'm with Stevie.....
Is there a minimum number of people who have to feel insulted before a thread is locked? If one person complained then fair enough. Or are you with Stevie on the "this isn't your forum" comment? Is it your forum? Someone else owns it, and they make the rules. You have 3 choices. 1. Abide by them. 2. Constructively criticize them and hope to influence a change or 3. moan about them....
