Go to your profile and look at your thread history. I checked each of your threads over the last year, and as CGI said it was one, which we already discussed. That's out of 20 threads you've created in the past year. I trust that CGI's numbers are correct on the overall, but I just wanted to see how often it's been recently. https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/profile/157644/jaicee/posts/threads/1/#content You can see for yourself.  

As for the thread in question, it's a good thread. I was participating. When I said "I think it's an interesting topic, so let's keep it civil so it can stay open", I wasn't like being sarcastic or anything "boy it sure would be a shame if I had to close this topic". I legitimately meant that... It's the kind of thing I like discussing, and I really have no desire to close it. 

As of the point I posted in the thread, it wasn't near the point of closure. But things can devolve really quickly, especially on these kinds of issues. In the thread I was literally making a warning post for one user, and by the time I posted it another user made a flaming post. So, it felt like things were getting out of control, and I thought a general thread warning was necessary. That doesn't mean the next step was going to be closure, but a lot of times, especially when you're dealing with issues like abortion or religion, people tend to jump in, and I felt that if I didn't say anything it could quickly get to the point where it was too many users and the thread was derailed, and at that point it'd have to be closed.

Again, the objective is not lock the thread, but to stop things from getting out of control. And it had nothing to do with anything you said or did. If that were the case, I'd have said something to you directly. I get that nobody wants to have their threads closed (and again that's not my goal) but it's not a punishment to the thread's creator (unless the problem is with the OP itself, in which case we'll tell them).

On a personal note, I have what is called atypical depression. I am IN NO WAY SUGGESTING YOU DO AS WELL OR MAKING ANY ASSESSMENT OF YOUR MENTAL STATE. One of the symptoms is being overly concerned about what people think of me. When people aren't direct with me, I get really nervous and feel like I've done something wrong. Again, I'm not saying anything about you. I'm just saying that the feeling that I must have done something wrong is something that's constantly with me, and I only really feel comfortable when I know someone will be direct with me. So, that's how I try to treat people. If you're doing something wrong, I'm not going to look for excuses to close your threads or anything like that. I'll let you know exactly what it is. Beyond that, I don't really know what to tell you.

Okay. I didn't even realize I had authored that many threads! I forgot about a bunch of these.

I guess I just need to try harder to avoid reaching conclusions so quickly. Perspective! Perspective! I just get banned from lots of places for reasons that seem small to me and I don't want this to be one of them. I do believe you when you say you're not looking for excuses to get rid of me and it does make me feel better about things. I probably shouldn't have needed another reassurance like this. Guess it's just where I am as a person right now. Clearly I'm lacking for self-confidence anymore for reasons that go far beyond my particular experience here on VGC.

As I said, I have my own issues with self confidence. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk, about VGChartz related issues or otherwise.

As for the abortion issue, dunno why that's still going on. Accusing users of dishonesty without justification is an explicit violation of forum rules. I have no doubt that many people sincerely believe that a baby and a fetus are the same thing.

Thanks! I'm good right now, but you never know: there may come the day when I take you up on that offer.

Anyway, since it's against the rules to accuse users of dishonesty, I'm an immortal billionaire cyborg zebra from the Neptune of Dimension X. No one can deny it. Deny it and I report you!

Why was this locked? People were having a normal discussion imo and there wasn't really that much badmouthing each other. Other than the usual passive aggressiveness, it was a pretty valid thread. So I am asking you @CGI why you closed it. Cause from my perspective the one who came in irate was you more than the other users.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Is that not something in the interest of the community @CGI-Quality ?
Why did you go for a PM if this thread is for the specific point of discussing moderation issues?

I don't even disagree with your logic in locking the thread per say, but some transparency would be nice.

Alara317 is permanently banned. For apparently 3 Alternative ID accounts. So that would be four accounts correct?
Runa216 gets a one day ban. So are they one of Alara37's alts?

Who are the other two accounts? They aren't they banned? And how did someone with a year (Runa) and 8 (Alara) year old account not get caught earlier?

The ban notes on each of Alara and Runa's profiles sure seem to indicate Alara is a Runa alt.

Not sure why it's suddenly necessary to take everything to PMs when there's nothing special about the questions being asked.
