Could always put more moderators into the section,
Then approving posts will come very easy!
Putting threads in the D/P/P board on moderation is not a good idea. It works for the roleplay boards because there are only one or two roleplays to be examined daily for the moderators. If the staff went through with what you are suggesting the D/P/P board moderators would be horribly stressed. Not only would they have to lock threads where the problem has been resolved, they'd also have to go over loads of threads all the time to approve them and I really don't think that they deserve that kind of torture.

Just my opinion. I can't really say much seeing as I hardly post in the board in question though.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

@OP: You see a bunch of locked threads and you're saying the rules aren't being enforced?

Something's wrong with your logic.
I agree,

Locked threads = Rule breakers. People who don't post in the right section or who are offtopic

Moved threads = People who have posted in the wrong section, and must be showed where the correct section is.

^What else do you expect them to do? To delete said threads? That's not good for the moderators nor the members.

I find it amusing when you complain about something yet don't offer an alternative solution. You just say it needs to be "fixed and stuff".

I suggest you take a look at how the rules are actually being enforced, due to the amount of locked threads.

If you don't like seeing a few locked threads here and there in a forum for some strange reason, then you'll have to deal with it, because the staff isn't to blame for this. Members who don't know how to follow the rules are to blame.

Also, AJ, I was talking to you on that post. I don't understand your logic. You say that rules aren't being enforced yet you complain about all the locked threads.

If you see locked threads, then it Goddamn means that the moderators are doing their job! It's not rocket science.

well if the mods want to be like that i say we should dish out 24 hour bans to anyone who posts in the wrong section and such.

And wakachamo, calm down if he had a solution he would have PM the mods or somthing, he posted it the Questions & Feedback section because he had a question/problem and wanted some damn feedback!!! You are getting worked up for no reason. As you have noticed we had offered a few solutions, but the mods dont like them so what can we do. And i dont know why you keep questioning his logic, is logic is just fine. Like i said if he had a solution then this thread would not have exitsed and the D/P would be a better enviroment!

I know but some dont listen to infractions, i think that after a nOOb or someone that posts somewhere in the wrong place should be banned for 24 hours. That way they would get a clear *in your face* message and we might get some bandwidth space on the site if a few people we gone for a day :D

It means moderators aren't infracting when they should be.
I've seen so many people post more than 1 thread in the wrong section, KNOWING they have been warned for it.
An infraction for simply posting 1 spam thread is way too strict. If it's done repeatedly, believe me, infractions do become part of the equation.

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not shouting in caps or anything am I?

Once again, a 24 hour ban on a new member simply because he posted a thread in the wrong place is too strict and starts to make this place feel like a dictatorship. Plus, you can't distinguish n00bs from normal members because that would be elitism at its highest level as well.

Yes you are getting worked up, you attack Aj because he didnt offer a solution of his own right away, you question his logic and say he offers no solution, when you come here and offer no solution yourself, so those posts that you first posted could be counted as spam. Second, if you read the entire posts then you would know that this isnt just about Mods locking threads, it is about the locked threads cluttering up the forum. And how the locked threads stay on the first page while the good ones get bumped to the second and hence, not viewed as often.

If you'll allow me to interject for a moment...

Attack? I'm not seeing any attacks in here. :/

you question his logic and say he offers no solution, when you come here and offer no solution yourself,
First, AJ's logic is wrong. Locked threads are indication of moderators doing their job.

Second, Waka doesn't need to offer a solution, because he's not arguing for a solution. AJ is whining that D/P/P is terrible, so it's kind of expected that he would provide a solution. Waka, however, is stating that D/P/P is as good as it's going to be, so obviously he won't offer a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist/ has no real solution.

Second, if you read the entire posts then you would know that this isnt just about Mods locking threads, it is about the locked threads cluttering up the forum.
That's really how it should be. Locked threads serve as an example to the poster and the rest of the forum of the proper rules.

And how the locked threads stay on the first page while the good ones get bumped to the second and hence, not viewed as often.
What? Locked threads get bumped down by active threads. They don't stay on the first page; since nobody can post in them, they get bumped down, and eventually off the first page.

Flaming = Bad.
So both of you should stop.

I'm not saying for ONE wrong post, but if people keep doing it. They should be, because that's what happening in D/P/P
Actually, AJ, I think it's just many different members doing it once. I haven't really seen one single member do it enough times to even get an infraction.

And KhaosKnight, I'm not even going to argue with you. I know you really want to have a serious fight with me here and now, but airconditioning pretty much cleaned your clock.

No i dont plan on having any kind of fight with you, if i were to have a "fight" with you then that would just bring me down to your level which i am not about doing. And AJ asked if we sould stop so i stopped posting, except for this message. There is nothing that will be done about this problem so there is no point in posting here anymore. And what airconditioning did was just disect my phrases me and him have go arounds like this all the time (or we have once or twice), and i tend to disregaurd things like this in places/situations like this. Point is airconditioning beat me, you didnt so keep your mouth shut. And kudos to airconditioning.

Sorry i couldnt help AJ but Thank you and good day, Khaos

Talking down to a mod who was barely even paying attention to you OH MAN YOU ARE SO HARDCORE.

me and him have go arounds like this all the time (or we have once or twice)
We have? I don't remember you. :/

You're very welcome, good sir.

It was an argument about Arcues being god or something in the D/P section about a month or so ago. And i could care less what position you have on this board, as far as i am concerned you just have a different colored name. I will treat most with seniority respect. But before they can get my real respect then they have to earn it.

I don't understand. I made a thread that some mod believed was spam and I automatically got infracted for it, no warning.

DeanoDance locks all the threads when they should just be moved also.

Well, airconditioning, I can say you've got one thing wrong so far. I'm no mod.

@Origin Form: That's something you should talk about to DeanoDance directly.
If your talking about that infraction,it wasn't from him, it expired already. I currently only have 3 points worth of infractions now.

The ones I lock that could be moved are the ones involving competitive battling (EVs, movesets and the like), and should really go into the stickies in the S&M section. And since I do not have mod permissions in that forum, I cannot merge threads with those stickies. The best thing I can do is lock the thread and redirect the poster to the S&M stickies.
