We don't need pointless locked threads everywhere signalling one got moved.I honestly think a few of the staff members don't know that its a thing. Cheat, did at least, just give people powers without giving any kind of how to or lesson. Like I remember when I became mod he literally just said "have fun, please don't break anything" and I had to figure out everything myself. Not sure if that's still how things work but yeah.
I agree. We don't need pointless locked threads everywhere signalling one got moved.

Actually at one point I was told to "stop asking so many questions and figure it out for yourself." (I'm won't name who it was) but when judgement came turns out it was the least active one who got the job out of the 3 of us. Oh and I was also told a reason I wasn't chosen was that "I didn't ask enough questions."Wow that's actually pretty fucked up. I can understand why you're so salty about that.

I just don't see the reason for it for a newly birthed thread or one that has two or three replies or one that someone accidentally made in the wrong board.
