Why Was My Climate Change Thread Locked?

for real

Bump

Why are people arguing about this so much. You guys can MOVE ON you know.

No, we can't, otherwise we will have @DiogenesDue constantly insulting people without even a warning in this thread.

Oh, seriously? I don’t think @Diagnosdue would appreciate you doing this, although I don’t support him or whatever, you shouldn’t be badmouthing or anything. Just report him if you’re this upset.

Trust me, I have. Of course Chess-dot-com didn't do anything about it though.

...

They did lock his forum. RIghtly.

You and AbyssalSludge are two of the most popular and relevant posters on the forums...don't let your having to bump a 2023 thread fool you into thinking otherwise...

You could always tell DiogenesDue to stop his 'badmouthing' and wanting a double standard for himself. Which he proves that he wants - over and over again.
Good that you don't support him.
But try to remember he has no exemption from criticism.
He apparently wants people to be afraid of him. 
Even was putting 'beware' messages in his home page for awhile.
But the point is the update - his forum got locked too. Rightly.

There's no double standard. Feel free to try and criticize me anytime. Just remember that this opens you up for scrutiny yourself. Historically, you don't hold up well.

There's no "home page", and "sockpuppets beware" was a temporary tagline that just never got changed over time (I added it after getting several sockpuppets banned in a short timeframe). Who really cares about their profiles here? They are somewhat insipid in general.

My "forum" (it's a thread) did not get locked "rightly". It was locked in concert with Elroch's thread and his lock was reversed when I posted a thread about it. In that thread, I mentioned specifically why I did *not* want my thread unlocked as well (it saved me time and hassle dealing with straggling Covid deniers who just wanted to still argue), and so, it was not unlocked.

Note that the Covid thread was chosen by the mods to be the only open Covid thread during the initial years after the outbreak, and that I was also chosen to be a member of the Community Defenders effort to help out the mods clean up the forums in general. Specific mods might have an issue with me, I suppose, but I am a member in good standing and have been for over a decade.

You're entirely too nosy for your own good, you know. It comes across as very insecure and petulant, and I am sure you would rather not be seen that way in the end.

That's right AS.
But if you want to stop him insulting people then there's your option to block him.
An option that he thunders about when he does so. Part of his forum getting locked.
You'll see lots of 'phony victory lap' behaviour from him too.

necropost supreme

Are you feeling alright? You are responding to a post from December 2023, and that's *after* it was already pointed out.

There's also this thing about his expecting conformity and giving instructions.
And there is no 'personal attack' in reminding people that DiogenesDue is not a moderator here.
And the forum queston is now answered too.
Opening posters have a blocking option. But some are unwilling to use it.
Also there is no rule about answering posts in forums. Including old forums.
Its allowed.
Posting in old forums is a 'shouldn't'? But he's posting here.
And yes something was done.

I see, this is just a descent into self-induced madness...carry on, then...better here in a dead thread, I guess.

*quietly backs away from the muttering*

Somebody (not I) just proved as to why the opening poster here complained about him insulting people.
He ( @DiogenesDue ) just demonstrated that very behaviour of his. And it was 'self-induced'.
And this time i read it (his last post). Now lets see if he can actually 'back away'.
I'll put it at 90-10 he doesn't.
