My thread a few posts down "Removing Fallen Colossi" was locked by a moderator for no apparent reason. He said "C'mon guys... I'm locking this thread". When the post had legitimate reason behind the post. The post wasn't to hate on Fallen Colossi, it was a post that basically just said nobody is playing it... So we should replace it with a map that would be played. It's not a big deal, but I'm a little upset about it. I feel like it's a bit of power abuse.

I also want to request it be unlocked by a different mod.

I'm not worried about that. I think people should know about what he's doing.

I clearly posted this quote before mentioning locking the thread:
Hai-

As many of you may have seen, or heard of, slasherxtreme created a thread containing 'No-no suggestions' for the "Feature suggestions" forum. (You can find that thread here.)
The thread basically listed suggestions that had been suggested numerous times, and denied each time.
This thread will work much like that one, except it will contain a list of thread topics that are generally just a bad idea to post about.

Removing maps~
Threads about removing are a 'no-no' simply because it's rude, and will generate quite a large flame war.

How is posting your opinion on a map rude?
Think about it.
You're a map maker who's worked endlessly on an MCSG map, adding even the smallest details and perfecting it to the point where it's accepted into MCSG.
Your feeling pretty good, and as you log into the forums, your heart sinks.
You see a thread titled "Remove {insert map here}."
That's your map.
You click it and find that this person finds your map "Badly built", "Lacking in Gameplay aspects", "Horribly terraformed," and the list goes on.
That's practically getting punched in the stomach.
Imagine how that would feel.

I understand you have an opinion, but sometimes you need to use your better judgment.
A thread like that will do 10x more damage then it's worth, creating a near-definite flame war about the map, and, overall hurting the builder(s) feelings.

If a map was good enough to be added into MCSG, it will NOT be removed.

Like dusk said, if you feel as if this was unjust, please contact a Sr. Moderator, and we can come to a solution.
Thread Locked.
