I hear you do that.


thanks.

What thread do you want locked, @joey? If it was this one, you could have simply deleted your post. Is there a problem?

Sorry mmhmm, I was being a smart ass.
I am very disappointed that a thread I was posting on was locked. I just don't see a reason for that. There was nothing untoward going on.

[mmhmm]

Ahh.  Okay, I understand and I know the thread you mean. Thing is, our rules say any poster can request a thread they've started be locked, or removed, for any reason. That's why the thread was locked. Hickle, the OP, asked that it be closed.

If you'd like to start a new thread on the subject, please do! It's a good subject and I think people were taking advantage of it to learn and to offer their opinions. I'd love to see it continue!

I would also like to see it continue, yes, please start another thread on the topic.

Please do start another thread. 

I was listening to a podcast that said a recession is coming.  It will be much harder for some but will affect fewer people according to him.  I am not the financial success that many here are.  The last recession hurt me a great deal and I am just now getting back to going good.  I am worried about getting laid off.  I am worried about how a recession will affect the construction industry.  If a recession does happen the topic is all about money to me.  tha tis why I asked in your money.  I wanted to understand and get information about the money aspects of a possible recession.  I did not know that recession were off topic there.

I feel a responsibility to pay attention to threads I start early on.  I think it would be rude of me to have people take the time to answer my post and me not pay attention.  YM an current events have a different vibe to them and it irked me when the thread was moved.

sorry to anyone who liked the thread.

I didn't understand the thread being moved either.

[mmhmm]

The Your Money board is more about personal finance than world economies, like Canada's. I'm thinking that's why it was removed, and that makes sense, if you think about it. That subject is exactly what Current Events is for. If you were wanting to discuss your own concerns about recession, from a personal finance perspective, you might start a thread that focuses on that, rather than on Canada's economy. Something like "My Concerns Should Recession Occur" would serve that purpose nicely and you could ask others for opinions about what you might do to counter possible problems if the construction industry is hit hard yet again.

for the record and to be absolutely clear, I am not complaining about anything.

[mmhmm]

I didn't take it as a complaint, hickle. I thought I'd grasped what you were going for and hoped to offer you a good way to get there with a thread on YM. The thread you started was an excellent thread for Current Events, but it wouldn't have focused well on what you really want to discuss because it was too broad and was about a country you don't live in. I'd like to see you get the answers you're seeking, as I can understand why that would be important to you. It'd be important to me were I in your shoes!

[mmhmm]

Moved the last three posts from here to I've Got A Beef.../Complaints...

I didn't know that....Actually as I think about it..and realizing my feelings really mean squat...I don't think that is a good rule...The way I look at it..the only one who owns anything here is our originator Moon..{ how are you Moon..haven't heard from you in ages..hope all is well with you and yours.}and she seems to have let us alone to muddle through on our own with a occasional boost by the moderators..and even there ..lately..with all being on good behavior..little interaction by them either it seems.

I kind of look at it as once a thread is put out there..unless for obvious reasons it's locked ..it runs till it's of little interest anymore or all has been said on the different topics..not up to the originator to say yea or nay..but that is just my opinion...

The rule is moonbeam's, Dezi. It's her belief that threads belong to the posters who create them. If a poster asks that a thread created by them be locked or removed from the forums, we are to accede to that poster's wishes. While you're entitled to your opinion, decisions for the forums as a whole are made by moonbeam.

I sort of agree. It makes me think twice about investing a lot of energy or research into a post if the OP can just shut it down at any time.

However, I did not realize that was a rule here. I have not read the rules in a long time.
C'est la vie.
