Power Abuse

I'm sick of this crap. Everyone needs to understand that just because you don't agree with the decision of a staff member does not mean they did anything wrong. It is not your place to judge a staff member for any reason, good judgment is used when making decisions, and it is not "abusing power" to lock a thread.

It's gotten out of control with users claiming that every single staff member is abusing their powers because their thread got locked or removed. You have to remember, the staff members make the rules, and have full authority to enforce them, regardless of how you believe things should be.

You have no right to come onto this forum and judge staff members like that just because you disagree with them. Power abuse is not something to be taken lightly, and it's not a term you just throw around whenever you feel like it.

From this point on, any thread making unfounded claims of staff members abusing power will be locked or removed until you decide you're mature and intelligent enough to make an honest complaint and have a half-decent reason for action to be taken or reconsidered without making personal, drawn-out attacks on the character of the people in charge here.
