Thread Lock Dispute: Thread #2680

[DZComposer]

This thread http://forums.starfox-online.net/index.php?topic=2680.0 was locked by me.

I thought that it was at a difficulty level that discriminated against people who have not taken chemistry classes recently, and as such the game was unfair.

Two people have PMed me in protest, so I have decided to temporarily re-open the thread and hold this discussion/vote. Their arguments were that the game was easier than it looks and that the people were scared by the fact that it is chemistry, and that it looks like we are baning intelligence.

Since I locked it, I will abstain from voting.

A big no.

Of course, a serious dose of maturity would help the matter, but if you haven't the first inkling of what to you, you can always... not play? If no one plays a game, then there won't be much reason for its continuation, will there?

Also, you can always learn stuff. Also, I guess dwight said you could Google for the answers or something.

No rules were broken... I agree with TakeWalker completely and well I think this action might not leave a very good impression on the users.

The only rule I can see against this sort of topic is our "if all else fails" rule:

11. Any post or behavior (including intentionally brinking the rules) that is deemed by the staff to be bad for the community will dealt with. Threads can be locked or deleted and people could possibly be banned.

There's nothing I can see wrong with this topic. There's all kinds of topics I don't post in, maybe they don't appeal to me, or I don't fully understand them. Should we lock them because *I* don't go to them or don't want to participate? I should always have the freedom to view or not view any topic I wish, and, within the rules, everyone should have the freedom to create a topic on any subject.
