It has come to my attention lately

Wednesday, June 4, 2008

that Mary (marymary) tends to use the "don't call out other members of Etsy" as the reason why she closes threads.

I think it's her favorite reason as to why she's closing a thread.

Some of them (the closed threads) only barely come close to the calling out point but she still uses it as the excuse for putting a shiny gold lock on it.

I have noticed this too.

Did you notice that she revived the Ethical Standards thread FIVE HOURS after it was first closed by RW just to get her little goodie-goodie lecture firmly planted in place?

I wonder if she has a daily closed thread quota?

I've noticed this as well.I hate the way they hide behind generic phrases when closing threads.

You'd think they would at least want to make it clearly exactly what was wrong with the thread so people won't make the same mistake twice...

Yes, Anon1 - at first I thought maybe they saw the thread at the same time but once I checked the timestamps it was more of a "WTF?" reaction.

They're like cops - they have to pull over a certain number of people each month.

Also, I hate that the "calling out" rule is being used to prevent anyone from ever again uttering the name of certain estranged forum friends *cough*recoverybabe*cough*.

Pretty lame.

Voldebabe you shall be!

But don't let MaryMary know - lest she shoot from hey hip and lock all threads that mention you in your new incarnation. ;)
