to clarify, I locked it because it was originally posted in suggestions, which it clearly isn't and also because it was clearly just a rant with zero actual value.

it's not dead but the community is stale

https://gyazo.com/e24e500171cf30a033a2430cf30f9a62 ''isnt dying'' it literally used to have more than 10,000 players at this hour

^ sometimes there are less than 1000 players
Maybe it isn't dying but it has lost too many players

@Quetzi you forgot your lock message.... again

I didn't forget it, it's cute how it triggers you so reliably

Not trying to be annoying, but: https://www.cubecraft.net/threads/suggestion-dont-lock-threads-without-providing-a-proper-reason.206394/

woah is quetzi hitting on skif

@RemiO05 you should perhaps check the forum rules. We don't need to give reasons when locking threads. In this case, I put as much effort into my lock message as went in to creating the thread...

"Check the forums rules" - one of you guys literally added that rule 1 day after I made that thread. Just admit that it's hard for you to remember certain things, and we would understand. Age brings consequences with it, and memory loss is one of them.

Perhaps put one of those sticky notes on your monitor with the text: "don't forget to state a reason on lock!"

Lock reasons aren't omitted because 'I forget' they don't get added because there is no need for one.

Tacosbefriends: "Temptation to lock this thread without posting explanation first is high.
I've notified all staff that they must post the reason for locking whenever locking a thread. Consider this implemented! ".
This is confusing imo.

Not really, while staff are told to put reasons when locking posts that doesn’t mean they are required. Which bit confuses you?

Read that phrase again. "they must post the reason for locking". Note the must. Then there's you, saying they aren't required.
What's confusing me is that two administrators are saying two different things and it's not clear which one is right.

In this case, the rules post clearly states what may or may not happen with your posts/threads. How do you suggest it could be reworded so that it is less difficult to understand?

that's not whats confusing me, its that tacos is saying something contrary to those rules which makes me think they may have been changed but not been updated
