Hey what does it mean when a thread is locked? I mean obviously you can't comment on it, but who locks it and for what reasons?

thank you colitas. Level4 is all hot air. He blogs under several names and they all have a problem with Shane. Shane's job is not in jeopardy. His bosses are probably informed of the situation and are most likely sitting back laughing at all you idiots that think I'm shane. posted by

I just went back and reread this locked post. There is A LOT of posts missing. I find it funny that people erased their posts or TN did and now the thread is locked. Giving people a false idea of what was all in the original blog. A good rule of thumb GUBE! Don't write anything that you'll have to erase. Be it 1 min, 5 min, or a day later. I notice you do this VERY often. If you are so innocent of everything why are you sooooooooo good at backpedaling and "covering ' things up. posted by

Ok gube, that wasn't your job but the point being is when it effects not the post but a witch hunt outside this arena. Understand now. Not saying you are or you are not, but if Level4 is going to send this crap to "Shane's" job, that isn't fair either. Even if absolutely no body likes him, if it isn't him it's not right, and if it is him it isn't right. But ok gube, once again I will say it this time....GUBE IS NOT SHANE. Feel better?

The decision over which posts to pull, lock or leave up is largely up to the blogging community. In the case of the post that was left up, there were almost no complaints or violation reports from bloggers on the site, and in some cases the person placing the complaint was continuing to participate on the very same post. You can't have it both ways, where you complain that something is offending you, and at the same time are repeatedly returning to the same post and continuing to comment. Also, in the matter of the post to which you refer, there was much discussion on the post itself where several people stated that they wanted the post to stay on the site, even though they felt some of the material was "strong", for lack of a better word. The overall lack of complaints (via violation reports, email, etc.) plus the stated desires of several participants to have the post remain on the site, kept the post on the site. The general idea is that people on the site are adults, and will conduct themselves in an adult manner. The overwhelming majority of the time, that happens. On those occasions when it doesn't, we do the best job we can to take appropriate action, given the circumstances. Will everything we do please everyone, every time we do it? Of course not. But we'll continue to do our best to be as fair and reasonable and, most of all, invisible as you allow us to be. posted by

I hope the TN answers that question too. The only thing I can think of is that this thread threatened a person's job so that was considered a real personal attack.

Thank you TN for responding. I was curious on what was really going on. And yes, I guess it is the less of two evils. Thank you again.

Tehachapi News administrators reserve the right to lock a blog post. Locking simply means no additional comments may be left on that particular post. While we try to avoid taking such action, occasionally exchanges will become such between participants that the decision is made to either lock the post, or remove it entirely. We believe that locking a post is the lesser of two evils.Again, we wish to stress that this is something we do not enjoy having to do, and it is something that can easily be avoided if individuals posting to this site respect the Terms of Service, starting with the two ground rules posted in the "Leave a Comment" box. posted by

again, like gube stated, what about jim's thread.....it's still going. I mean he is talking to himself now, but when it was going strong, it was extremely heated and frankly vulgar language was used, and many, many personal attacks. I expected TN to stop that one when it all started getting sexual and trouble came aboard. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was very entertaining because as soon as I figured out that it was just for shock valued I played along. And no offense gube, but gube says a lot for shock value. So, again, why is one ok, and not the other if it is TN doing it.

Gube, yes I have strong opinions also (most of us do) but most of your comments were uncalled for and inappropriate. Your opinions do not bother me at all. There is nothing wrong with having different opinions or strong opinions but there is something wrong with attacking people and using vulgar language. That is what I take issue with.
