Why does it seem that one moderator locks the LEO threads at a higher rate than all the other mods? Please correct me if I am way off base. Thank you.

You are off base.

When the original poster of a thread asks for the thread to be locked, mods will accomodate.

When a thread violates the rules or gets out of hand as determined by the laid out for moderators, the thread will be locked.

That's all there is to it.

Call out threads, by the way, are also against the rules.

You know, I don't think I've noticed any one mod locking LEO-related threads any more than any other mods... but then again I don't pay much attention to who locks a thread.

In before whatever mod ends up locking this thread!

The LEO mod trend is very troubling.

Search for cop and police and see how many are locked.

Gee, just a thought, but maybe it is because some people can't act civil in LE threads.  Just a thought.

Police threads have always had a high mortality rate, largely because a number of people can't discuss anything involving police without completely losing it and behaving like poo-flinging monkeys.

I've seen lots of "troubling" things in my time on ARFCOM....moderators and staffers have rarely been a cause for concern.

I think calling members 'out' is only allowed in the Pit.

I asked for a lock because every cop and their brother was intentionally violating the CoC to get the thread locked. I asked for the lock before I opened the sanitized thread. It got locked too because the some of the same LEOs came back and demanded a lock.

It got locked too for no reason except it questioned LE.

Why don't one of the LEO Moderators open a thread on the subject? It was tremendously popular and discussed matters essential to liberty and gun rights.

I think if they left them unlocked, there would be more people getting banned from them.

BTW, is this thread locker blue or red?

1. Thread locked, OP request.
2. Thread locked, multiple CoC violations in the first few posts. OP invited to start a new thread after a cool off period.
3. Thread locked, CoC violation, OP invited to start thread again.
4. This one locked because the above have been addressed.

No bias showing there at all.  There are plenty of people on both sides of the issue that violate the CoC.  Funny some only seem to notice ones not on their side.
