Why do yo guys sometimes lock topics for no reason? It is annoying when you just lock something when you don't post a reason why in the topic, and so we don't even know why or who you are you locked it. Please don't keep doing this.

I don't see where you're getting that this is a major problem. Of the dozen or so most recently locked threads, only two did not have clearly posted reasons. I'd say it's more a minor flub than anything to blow a gasket over.

Ok, first of all, i am not "blowing a gasket" over this. I am just simply saying it is an annoyance, and that is all. I never even said this was a major problem either. And plus, you didn't answer my question. Why do you mods do it sometime? I was just asking a simple question that could've had a simple answer. So please help me out here.

I did answer your question: a minor flub. Nobody's perfect, it's not like we're doing this deliberately to screw with you. Maybe we're in a rush when checking the forums, or too busy dealing with another issue, or sometimes it's just so obvious that no explanation is needed.

We do make every attempt to make sure people know what's up, but we can't be perfect.

But isn't this Hiei guy also the yusuke/urameshi1022/whateveryuyuhakushoname guy who has been posting useless topics then responding to them under different names?

Uh...I have no idea what you are talking about. I just joined this site yesterday and i'm not him. Also i don't really appriciate you calling my topic's useless and just because i have a Yu Yu Hakusho SN you think im some other guy? Get your facts straight before you start saying crap you don't even know for sure.

Well, your messages were all posted almost exactly one minute after yusuke1022/whatever's in that thread that got locked and he called you "dude" so people have reason to speculate. I'm pretty doubtful whether you’re really a separate person, too. Mods: do these guys have the same IP address, or are they really different people?

Ok, so if me and him are having a conversation, im a suspect? And since he called me "dude" which is a VERY common thing to say, you think im him? Ask the mods, i don't give a damn because i'm NOT HIM.

Well, so far the only "people" he's called dude are himself on different accounts. And he's a dick to everyone, but he was instantly friendly towards you.

It was because my SN was Hiei, and im sure of it. He was so excited because he found someone who wasn't a bitch or a dick (like you) and liked Yu Yu Hakusho, like me. So thats why he befriended me so quickly.

I'm wondering if you actually took the time to read the forums when you signed up to this site. This site's forum is pretty much an etiquette based forum, not like the other kinds of forums where you use slang and spelling that sometimes doesn't even come out to anything. I wouldn't try to get into too many fights here, that ends up getting you banned. And I don't think the Wolverine Princess is acting so much a dick as you are.

He's not. The IP address is different.

And Hiei, if you think you can do a better job while trying to balance between free time and working in the real world, be my guest. I lock all threads with good reason and don't appreciate having my efforts taken for granted.

If you have a problem, since none of those threads seem to have any of your posts in the first place, then feel free to PM us for an explanation if it bugs you that much.

You've only been here a day. Trust me, it can be a hassle to filter through all the questionable content/rampant crap that's posted.

Excuse me? No, I suspected you of being another account of yusuke's solely based on the fact that you two were acting friendly. I explained my reasons for assuming you were another yusuke clone in as civil of a manner as I could. Don't jump to conclusions and think I'm bashing you because you like Yu Yu Hakusho. Go read some of his past posts, he's not as nice as you think he is. And why the bitch comment? I just mistook your identity, as I'm most people that frequent the forums here did.

Yes i did read the forums before i signed up. I did notice that no one really says "Yo lol man u is so funny ur the coolest well g2g c ya" and stuff like that. I don't think that anyone on this site even uses slang, or has really bad etiquette. The worst i've seen so far is people who don't capitalize the first letter to their sentence. And since this whole thing is now sorted out that i'm not yusuke/whoever, i won't be getting into any more fights.
