Why is the Recently Raptured Faith gone into summation? And why can I not summate? Why no warning?

Summary About Summation
I put it there because the time had come and gone and Faith was still here. I thought that a new topic would better represent the current state of affairs...however...both you and Percy have complained about the summation mode, so I will reopen it. Sorry for no warning.
Please stay on topic for a thread. Open a new thread for new topics.
Points should be supported with evidence and reasoned argumentation.
The sincerely held beliefs of other members deserve your respect. Please keep discussion civil. Argue the position, not the person.

Why has an active forum with outstanding discussions gone into summation. Was there any warning? https://www.evcforum.net/dm.php?control=page&t=19984&mpp=...

Proper moderator action would have been to instruct the topic starter to participate in good faith in his own topic.

Apologies for the triple post - a database internal server error came up.

That's what happens when a moderator starts their own topic and no other moderator steps in.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Summation Explanation
| Tangle writes: Why has an active forum with outstanding discussions gone into summation. Was there any warning? |
I was under the impression that any member could end their own topic but upon further investigation I found this not to be the case. I was acting in a member role rather than administrative. My apologies--I had no idea that you found the topic so fascinating. I was simply done with it, but it can go on. Perhaps next week I will reconsider. I just get frustrated with these arguments. | ringo writes: Proper moderator action would have been to instruct the topic starter to participate in good faith in his own topic. |
Duly noted. You guys were right this time. | Theodoric writes: That's what happens when a moderator starts their own topic and no other moderator steps in. |
Adminnemooseus promoted the topic. I was under the mistaken impression that members could close their own topics. In any case, perhaps Oscar the Grouch would like to become a moderator? Have you ever considerd applying?

Re: Summation Explanation
So have you reinstated it with your admin privileges?

It is back to normal. Again, sorry for my misunderstanding.

Re: Summation Explanation

That is a pretty disingenuous explanation since members do not have the capability of putting a topic into summation mode. In order to do that we would have to ask a moderator to do it. | Adminnemooseus promoted the topic. |
I never said or implied that you promoted your own topic. I said you started the thread and no other moderator did any moderation of it or you. | perhaps Oscar the Grouch would like to become a moderator? |
Always nice when a moderator resorts to personal attacks. How about you become a better moderator? Practice a little objectivity in your moderation. Oh yeah and drop personal attacks. Then skin is not a good thing for a moderator. Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.
