Most of the time you guys do a good job.  I wouldn't do it.  Someone has to, because Threads do get muddled, people sometimes get irate, even offensive.
So well done for trying to keep on top of it all!

BUT.....
I have noticed a tendency...........
when a thread needs locking (for whatever reason), you add your viewpoint (no names mentioned......... Ian Giles ), which often muddies the waters even more, and then you lock it!
It's like slamming the door in someones face before they get a moment to defend themselves!  Hit and run!

I'm sorry, but you are abusing your power by doing that , and it does irritate.
You should briefly state the reason for locking it and save your personal opinion for another clearer moment.

Just thought I'd share my wisdom with you

And another thing........

PJ,
The thread was locked because it was getting arguementative, and not in a pleasant way, I'll cite your one of your own replies in that particular thread as one of the reasons.

And I did state the reason at the end of my reply.
I also highlighted the fact that the thread had gone considerably off topic.

I was also guilty of going off topic by highlighting a comparison of hourly rates for other jobs.
I could I suppose have made my post with regards hourly rates, and then made a further post explaining why I locked said post.

Having now further explained why the thread was locked I shall now lock this one!

I will also point out that  our other moderator also locked a thread after doing the same as myself....and that thread was one that was actually praising us mods

So, no offence, but locked.
