????

i was making a legitimate point about the album

militant, can't you see that?... surely you're not that stupid... or do you have an agenda?.... or both?... are you stupid militant?

forums don't need stupid moderators... it ruins them (the forums, not the moderators... stupid people are already ruined)

you might not like a thread, because of an agenda, or because you're stupid... like REALLY stupid... but if it doesn't break any forum rules, you don't get to lock it

where's ben?

just wait til prince hears about this.... all hell's gonna break loose

Militante abusing his power as usual. Don't say anything bad about prince! or you shall get locked or banned. Easy though mo... you could be banned if you say Lovesexy wasn't sexy.

well i can't speak as to why the thread was locked, but because you said that artifical age "isn't funky" i'm guessing it was because you need to spend less time posting, more time having yo ears cleaned. just my 2 c

That stuff happens on this site quite a bit. Basically the personal opinions or an emotional reaction shuts down a thread that actually might have some good points to it (and most all threads have crazy posts too). I think this is what has slowly made a lot of interesting people leave, but what can you do?

It's free. It's volunteer. There's no double check to lock a thread (like a system where two moderators have to agree to shut it down).

Regardless of what he thinks of the album, its one person's opinion. Are we locking threads for that now?

the thing is, i wasn't saying anything bad about prince... i was just saying the album isn't funky... i've read lots of comments about how funky it is and i'm like wtf????... what are you listening to?

ahhh, I missed it.

story of my life. funny inside my head, put it out there and.... no laughs.

Please orgnote the moderator that locked it and discuss.


Something like bait, dupe thread, etc. instead of just the


I could review it ...........

Can the thread be "un-locked" ?

I don't see anything wrong with discussing the "funk" value of an album.

What makes this site great is our ability to offer our opinions, EVEN IF it's negative.

This isn't NPGMC, and I pray it never becomes it.

It.........is ALIVE!

why did you create a seperate thread in the General Discussion forum?

.

You agreed to the rules like I did.

You agreed to the rules on Feb 10 2014

You agreed to:Moderators have final say.
prince.org administrators and moderators reserve the right to edit, relocate and/or remove any message, at any time, for any reason. Consider all editing decisions final. If you don't agree with a decision, you may discuss it with the moderator who made the judgment in private. If you cannot reach resolution with the Moderator in private, contact the site administrator via e-mail (ben@prince.org), explaining the entire situation, with all relevant links/excerpts/emails, etc. Under no circumstance attempt to start a 'debate' about specific moderation decisions in a public forum.

.

You have a right to question a decision, but you don't have a right to make a personal smear campaign against someone.

.

MoBettaBliss, can't you see that?... surely you're not that stupid... or do you have an agenda?.... or both?... are you stupid MoBettaBliss?
forums don't need stupid members... it ruins them (the forums, not the members... stupid people are already ruined)
you might not like a rule, because of an agenda, or because you're stupid... like REALLY stupid...

.

.

You can't go after someone like that, it's not cool. I didn't even feel good about taking your own words to drive the point home.

I would like to note for the record that MoBettaBliss agreed to the rules on my birthday.

Not really sure that means anything, except all you funkers better wish me happy birthday next year.

lol I think that means you have to help MoBettaBliss follow the rules

I don't see what the confusion is all about. There is already an Art Offical Age sticky. Creating another thread discussing the album whether it be how not funky or soul or rock it is was unnecessary and that's why it was locked.

Ranking threads are not the same thing as discussion threads.

A couple of those should be locked though.

I personally didn't feel your thread warranted another new thread. It seemed like something that could have easily been posted in the existing discussion thread.

It's that simple, and I don't think it warranted name calling. And also, this, as OF4S posted:
