[quote name='PsyClerk'][quote name='JSweeney'][quote name='BigNick'][quote name='JSweeney']Mods are human too.
All of them have certain tolerances for what they will and will not allow.
It's not really up to you to decide if a moderator is overzealous in locking threads or not.
That burden falls to CheapyD.
Trying to chastise Dphatty about this only makes you look petty.[/quote]
If JS was a mod, I would bet %99 of store exploit threads would be locked. IF I was a mod, I would lock nothing, and Cheapy would probably get sued and CAG would die.[/quote]
I wouldn't say 99%... I'd allow people a little more latitude than that.. of course, that doesn't mean I still wouldn't be in those threads discussing it.
Of course, if the exploits were obviously and blatantly unethical, yeah, I'd have to lock them.
Of course, I can't just gloss over the fact than I do rile up some people because I take the fairly unpopular opinion on some of thier "deals", and play 'devil's advocate' with some frequency. Of course, I think it really bothers some people because they already know what they are doing is either unethical or has the appearence of being so ( "shady" deals, as someone put it, seems a good name for that), and me taking them to task on that seems to bother some people to no end.[/quote]
So it's more like 98%?
In all seriousness, I'm surprised we still see topics/posts about things like ROMs and rip-offs. You'd think people would learn after a while.[/quote]
Hey, if they want to lead more lambs to the slaughter and provide some more cannon fodder, I'm more than happy to oblige them.
