Mrs Usagi ,

What do you mean you read both my threads several times?

Exactly that. I read through both threads, and even posted on one of them myself. I would rather not comment on threads I haven't read, hence why I stressed that yes, I indeed read the threads prior to writing my post.

What thread isn't working out? Because the trolls invaded a thread, is that how you came to your conclusion?

The Grand Exchange lodestone is several things; also when excluding the vast and highly unfortunate amount of trolls and spam. We already have several teleportation options for the Varrock Grand Exchange (achievement diaries, Ring of Wealth, various amulets...) and an actual Lodestone for the Priffdinas exchange. What happened on that thread should not have happened, and you were placed in an uncomfortable position very early on. You did the natural thing of defending yourself, demanding to know which questions you hadn't answered.

As honourable as that is, I'm afraid it merely added fuel to the fire. You might moreover remember the few hidden posts of your own; those are the ones I'm specifically thinking about. Of course, none of that is an excuse for how the other posters behaved. The decisions to action the thread the way it was actioned was however not taken by me, rather fellow Forum Moderators. I do however agree that the outcome was not favourable for anyone.

What am I better than?

This was specifically aimed at the thread I locked today. You have a way with words, and you have been on the forums for ages. You know that there are better channels for the points you wanted to get across; as mentioned in my post as well.

What I want accomplished is for threads to be troll free, for there to be a disciplinary for such posts - it is very hard to communicate in a thread that is constantly trolled, people will avoid such threads, threads ruined.

This is, in many ways, what we strive to have as well. The ones on your threads have been extraordinary dedicated and it's genuinely a real shame. However, it does not help the situation that you do respond - which, let's face it, you do. It isn't how it's supposed to be by any means, but perhaps reporting immediately and ensuring things are removed before you post is something you can try in the future? I am not placing any blame on you whatsoever because I understand that there would be no reason for any of your replies if there were no trolls. You do however take a responsibility the second you post and respond to them.

What the Mod has stated in her comment that it is okay for such trolls to come in and destroy a thread if they deem it fit. This is very wrong!

It is not okay, no. Again, I did not action the threads in question myself, so commenting on this is minorly troublesome for me. I trust my colleagues to do what they reckon is best in accordance with the guidelines and their common sense in the specific situations. Remember, one can read posts in many ways.

So future threads of mine, if they feel, oh we don't agree with you, they will come in and set out to destroy.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion - assuming they can deliver it in a proper and mature way whilst respecting that not everyone might agree. This goes for both thread posters and those whom respond to those threads. If a player fails to do this, they'd be breaking the rules.

That Lodestone thread, I explained every point that was thrown at me, in a healthy manner, but not once did they counteract what I stated. Most players stated there stance and moved on - It's my thread, I can't state my stance and move on. Trolls never state there stance and move on, they will keep going and going and going. It was disgusting that nothing was done about it and the hate that went on - why so many locked posts if what they were doing was kosha??

I believe I've addressed this in my previous answers above.

The thread this morning in General, is to stop threads from being trolled and destroyed - there is no need for it. There is no need for players to come in a cause disruption because they don't agree with me. It is not kosha that thread is treated in such manners. There was nothing wrong with either of my threads and if players disagree with this, that is fine, but forum etiquette most be endorsed!

The forum etiquette must absolutely be endorsed, yes.

The issue with your thread in General was first and foremost that you were discussing a Jagex Moderator action - you should either have responded directly on Forum Moderator Review (which it would appear as if you already have), or send a mail as also suggested. It is a troublesome situation which really shouldn't be discussed the way you did, hence my lock.

I apologise for the slow responses here, but it is Christmas and things are happening.

I'll check later should you have further concerns or comments.
