Google Comunity Shop (...cont.?)

Umm...why was the topic 'Google Community Shop' locked...?

Randy · 10-07-2005, 04:06 PM

I guess this would be a good time to discuss this, as locking policy hasn't been talked about in a while. But, in the future, instead of starting a topic asking why it was locked, PM a moderator of the forum of an admin instead.

Now, moderators and admins are free to use their own judgement to decide whether or not to lock a topic. If they decide that the topic is going astray, or people are becoming too offensive then the topic may be locked. Other reasons for locking topics: Posted in wrong forum, its a question that can be answered by checking the FAQ, searching the forums, etc, or is considered common knowledge. A good practice to start is to always search the forums before posting a thread to make sure that the question you are posting about has not already been answered and the topic you are starting is not a repeat.

I think it would be best to discuss this issue with the moderator that locked the topic. And remeber: A moderator's decision is final. Do not question the decision of a moderator or admin and do not repost a topic that has been locked. If you need further assistance regarding a particular topic PM somebody.

Well, I just want to know if the GC Shop will be re-stocked...

There are no exceptions to rules. Just because you want something does not mean you are going to get it. Rules are rules and those who chose not to follow them must suffer the consequences.

The decision of a moderator or administrator is final. We reserve the right to delete or lock content at any time, or remove your posting previleges if you are found to be breaking rules.

But, to answer your question: I believe that intelliot intended to slowly start to remove the Shop and GC$ system, as it seems to be causing too many problems.

That would be a shame. I think it's kind of a fun aspect of posting to GC. It would really be too bad to lose it because of the actions of a few irresponsible members.

Yes I agree, I've sort of got my self attached to the GC$ system now!
