Why Locked???
 

Why was my thread about why was the Space Shuttle thread nuked locked?

What is going on here at R/C U? This used to be a GREAT place for the jet guys to trade info. Why is it being eroded like this???

Maybe its something i said? [sm=confused.gif]

RE: Why Locked???
 

I dunno... Marc himself said it was okay to talk about full scale aircraft in this forum... I can't see where that line was crossed....

RE: Why Locked???
 

Yeah, this is getting ridiculous.

RE: Why Locked???
 

HIgh brass at RCU told me that it is not a good idea to talk badly about RCU. I would suggest you guys not do it either.

RE: Why Locked???
 

I wouldn't call it talking bad. I would say constructive criticism is more appropriate :D

Bob, I liked your comment, you shouldn't have deleted it.

RE: Why Locked???
 

Yeah Bob, what gives. Did a mod threaten you? What up wid dat???

RE: Why Locked???
 

Didn't have an agruement as they locked the Easytiger thread also.

RE: Why Locked???
 

I have a theory: In the age of darkness (dial up internet) it was much more difficult to have a argument.. you need a fast connection or be face to face to have a decent pissing match.

Maybe time to go back to Bob's RCJets list? I've been have a great time on "Groups".

RE: Why Locked???
 

thats an easy one!
Space Shuttle wasnt turbine powered!

RE: Why Locked???
 

Not at all true! It was indeed relevant to the Jets Forum as each Orbiter has two or three (I forget) APUs (Auxilliary Power Units) turbines that run on hydrazine to supply hydrualic pressure during ascent and re-entry. The Shuttle is indeed (at least partially) turbine powered.

Therefore any Shuttle discussions ARE relevant here.

RE: Why Locked???
 

Wocketman,
I think the answer is simple... You are "shill" for NASA and therefore it is a conflict of interest for you to post it here....:D
I wish I could be a shill for somebody, but unfortunately Krispy Kreme has cut me off as well....

RE: Why Locked???
 

Well, The Shuttle Bed did have some Jet Lights on it :D

(ok...thats a lie [:@])

Mods are right... it was not Jet related and they had every right to can it. No beef from me...

RE: Why Locked???
 

I thought that it was related to jets. The future shuttle pilot will sooner or later be flying his Dad's jets.

You earned my respect again. If you, the thread originator understood the reason behind your thread removal and do not have objections to it then I hope the rest of the nattering nabobs of negativisms would now let this one go.

Now the question is…which one of you vocal ones would like to volunteer to become the new Jet Forum moderator? Time to put up or forever keep your peace.

i thought this was the USA and freedom of speech
just my thought

RE: Why Locked???
 

FWIW........ it might be free speech, but this is not a soap box on the corner. ;)... RCU is a business...Its free,to use; So one must comply with RCUs rules whether good or bad,or hit the highway.:D

RE: Why Locked???
 

Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing but DOES NOT APPLY HERE! This is a privately owned forum and the owners have every right to decide what can and can not be discussed in THEIR forums; after all this is their house, we are mere guests.
There are rules in place and I broke one.... it's that simple. If my son breaks the rules in my house, he gets a time-out ;)
Line needs to be drawn somewhere to keep things in order, dont blame the mods for doing their job.

RE: Why Locked???
 

The main Shuttle engines are most definitely turbomachinery .... all the HPOTP, LPOTP, HPFTP, LPFTP are turbines. Ever hear SSMEs wind up at ignition?

RE: Why Locked???
 

Gee sportsfans, why all the controversy?:eek:

UncleJoe........FYI.....I had bad intel from a couple FRIENDS I trusted were telling me the truth and thus the long DELAY for me to figure things out on my own, all is clear now from me as I NEVER cross my true friends and ALWAYS RESPECT MY ELDERS! Now I'm going to go to the base with Grandpa and have a shot or two of tequila, then get back to making picture frames of the days before the fog set in, which always has a way of delaying departures and launches from time to time until the winds pick up and blow it all away. I'll tell grandpa you say hello and have a good day SIR.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program folks, Jets and the kids that grow up to be like their parents..........

Ben: I don´t think that anyone needs to have his life turned into misery by being a moderator .. but instead a change on how things are done here .. as this site has it´s content created by user generated input , we basically need two new things: (Marc, are you reading this?)

1) A input field that rate the "value" of a post: If a post or a thread is considered insulting, irrelevant, idiotic,etc.. would be automatically deleted by reaching about, let´s say 20 negative reviews.. the good ones, with information, interesting pics or stories can be rated as well, and sorted so we can skip the bad ones and go for the best threads and posts quickly.


2) Like cited before, as people here knowns each other very well, a "anything goes" subforum could be created to discuss anything that is not directly related to r/c jets, so we can unclutter the technical area of the forum with the personal communication area.. again any post that contains too much chatter in the "serious" one wouldn´t be erased but transfered and rated to this subforum again by the users, but not for any moderator.


IMO The important thing is to relieve the burden of all this decisions to a single individual, as he can and will make mistakes.. let this questions be resolved by the majority of the users instead.
