CLOSURE ANNOUNCEMENT: The TSTO forums will be closed on December 13th, 2023. Read more about the future of the forums here.
Why was my previous thread locked with no explanation?
707 posts
I'm no mod but it sems to me the thread was locked to prevent escalation.
You keep making the same kind of threads that provoke certain ( negative ) reactions. This is a family forum aimed at a mobile game. Of course there is an off-topic session where everyday things ( non-game related ) can be discussed but it is in no way meant for the kind of issues / problems you keep digging up.
For relationship advice: I advice you to find another forum
For politics: You can do it here but very lightly; talk about politics always escalates since there are so many people with different views out there. This is really not the place for thes kind of discussions.
For any other thread: Open thread all you want, just keep in mind it's a family forum. People come here to have a nice chat with each other, talk about the game and play some games. They don't com ehere to be confronted by your mental issues or problems with mankind / politics.
Now this has been said to you numerous times. If you still want to keep openeing threads like the one before, don't be surprised if they get locked.

That makes sense.
Still I find it a bit unfair that I should get punished for other people not knowing how to reply decently.
But I guess that's just how it is. Would have been nice to get an explanation from the mod who closed my thread (even through PM). I use the forum rules as a guideline before creating threads and I didn't see my previous thread breaking any rules so I figured it was all good.

Maybe you should look a bit further than just forum rules.
Ask yourself, before creating a thread, 3 questions:
1 - If someone else would create a thread like this, would i want to read it ( and keep in mind that "you" in this case could be someone who just had a really bad day and just wants to chat with the people he/she knows and wants to read some funny thing)
2- Is this going to provoke reactions that could be negative?
3- Maybe i should aks this question to someone in real life wh ocan help me with this instead of here?
If you answer any of these questions with "Yes." , don't open the thread.
Maybe it's because you make statements like that and it annoys people?
You should become a mod
Really? How does that annoy people?
Besides if people could just reply civilized then there would be no escalation.
I don't have anything against people who disagree with me. Sometimes you can even learn something new from people who has a different opinion from yourself. I think that's a healthy approach.
No, i don't. I just post like a user. If everyone that just posts like i do should be a mod, we had a lot of mods around here.
Just post about every day stuff. Say hi to people and discuss the game and all.
You create threads offending people's opinions and ethnicity. You keep generalizing on everything. "All Nordic people are rude" etc. You can't expect people to be "civilized", when you start being racist and stereotypical. It does annoy people.
Also, even though you yourself are from Sweden, you calling all other Swedes rude is still generalizing and racist. So maybe you should just stop generalizing and use sentences like "I have in my own opinion found almost all Swedes that I have met rude" rather than "All swedes are rude".
'Nuff said.
I already messaged you and personally apologized to you and acknowledged I was wrong. Now you are calling me out on it again after I already apologized to you?
You even completely ignored me after I tried to apologize to you. Not even a "thanks" or "I forgive you" or anything.
I did not mean to call you out. I used that post as a example, but you use generalizing in many of your other posts too.
And you are wrong, I did send you a reply. I thanked you and hoped that we could start from a empty table.
"I live in Sweden. Feel free to bring up all the faults of my country."
You did not even try to apologize in this message.
Only after I messaged you back and said your message was rude nonetheless, you replied with:
"I was not targeting a specific person therefore I believe I have the right to speak my mind. I don't see my thread as any different than the thousands of Americans who complain about their own people and their own country and make fun of themselves. Nevertheless, if you were offended then I an truly sorry and hope you will accept my apology. I do realize that I could have worded my thread out better and I hope you will accept my apology. My thread was in bad taste and I probably was a bit "emotional" as the train incident had happened literally 5 min before I created the thread."
In this message, you in no way acknowledged that you were wrong. You were still trying to defend your case, saying that you have the right to speak your mind. You tried to come up with reasons why it was not wrong.
You only realize that it was in "bad taste" and that you could have "worded it better". You never acknowledged that you were wrong.
So yeah.
Khodo please feel free to PM me over this and any other questions you have, I'm always about to answer questions or just help
Discussing PMs on the forum is also not allowed btw
