I have noticed the Blue Men..

I have noticed of late it seems when there is a valid point that is made by a poster that the thread gets locked for something small. you typed in caps... or something along that line. I just read a great post about warrior nerfs and it had constructive information. But it was locked because a few other people decided to flame it.

Is there a way "Bluemen" that you can just start punishing the flamers and not the whole post?

Or is it honestly just a excuse to lock a threat to make it go away? every post will have peopel for and against it. But because we have some persons that choose to not be constructive and just flame that post shouldn't suffer. Well those are my thoughts. Would love a answer well one besides "Locked"

Context matters a lot... and without seeing which locked thread you are talking about, it is difficult to discuss this topic... although technically we shouldn't anyway, as discussing moderation is against forum coc.

This would be correct although I don't think Crucifix had any malicious intentions. =) However, I've locked this one because discussing moderation is frowned upon. Just know that our methods are thorough and there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than what folks generally see. Keep in mind that threads being locked or deleted are for a wide variety of reasons and we kindly ask that folks give us the benefit of their personal doubt. You can read what many of those reasons are here:
