    What Is Going On Around Here?!

    First my thread containing valid concerns about AKA was closed without explanation or statement by whom.

    I then posted a request for an explanation in a new thread.

    Sam Hartley posted a second request regarding the closure.

    Then, mysteriously, the first thread was unlock and edited (without my knowledge or consent) and now sports a new subject line that I do not feel reflects my opinion and feelings on the matter.

    After that, the 2 threads regarding whether it was inappropriate in the first place to have locked the AKA thread are now locked themselves! Again without any notice or explanation.

    This whole matter stinks and smells of a sympathetic cover-up and I'd like to know why and by whom. I haven't seen any of the usual mods logged on today - and none of the users logged on are listed as mods. All of this behavior is unusual and in my opinion casts discredit on the usual great job done by the mods around here.

    I have reported this and requested an investigation. I have a couple of guesses about what may be the issue but will keep them to myself. I will say this, I have been unfairly treated and AO's "truth first" reputation has been tarnished by these activities. We can get to the bottom of this sooner or later - but I'm not going to let the matter go until I see some sort of explanation.

    I do not appreciate a thread being locked then edited to reflect something I don't agree with or think represents the message I took the time to post with nary a comment.

    We were just talking about this in chat.

    The original thread was unlocked so that the discussion could continue. The other new threads about the old one being locked were locked so that discussion could go back to the original thread...

    I guess any posts from those threads that pertain to the original one would be best posted again but in the original thread.

    This was done by a mod trying to help out, but who ran out of time and had to leave before he could finish 'cleaning up'.

    I suggest continueing discussion in the original thread and deleting this one?

        Thanks for the update...

        I will refrain from posting further here.

        Sorry to make such a stink - I've just never seen anything like this here at AO.

        I hope that someone gets to the bottom of this.

        Thanks for reopening the original thread.

              Well, unless you read Cphilip's post in the now reopened thread, you would have been obviously wrong in what mod obviously did what.

                Maybe! Or why!!!!

                Sorry, but I do not realy know anything about any subsequent threads though. I was gone for a Chemical spill through all that but...

                Anyhow lets try and be a little less paranoid here. But until such time as I get paid 45K+ a year to do this Moderation such things may happen as I do got a real job and a rare emergency at the wrong time can keep me away from this...

                Sorry if it LOOKED bad... but realy now...Maybe there indeed was an explanation other than immediately assuming what you did. I happen to, for some reason, be a little offended by that. But I do understand why and will get over it.
