• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I know the job of the mods is to adhere to forum rules and guidelines. Just a suggestion and you can take it for what it's worth. Which is why I'm going to close this thread when I'm done posting it. If a post is not adhering to a forum guideline and is not in gross negligence would it be possible to give the original poster a warning PM to close the thread? I'm not trying to change the way things are handled and like I said take it for what it's worth. This is Kyle's board and I respect that. But it's a little unnerving to see your thread locked and a smack down post about why vs. a pm and then giving you say an hour to close the thread yourself. Especially in a forum with no written guidelines like General Mayhem. I understand that this would have to be discretionary because some threads need to be stopped. But for certain ones would that be a possibility?
 
The answer is no. We don't have time to say "Pretty please, would you fix this and lock your own thread?" and then have to follow up to see what's been done. That would create extra work on our end.

If we lock a thread, we generally state why, and that is educational for others as well so they see what is not acceptable.
 
I understand that. But to the original poster (i.e. me). I didn't know I couldn't post a thread and that's kind of disheartening to had a feeling that I did something wrong when in reality it really wasn't. Whatever. I guess it doesn't really matter what people think anyways.
