There is no need to 'presume' as to why it has been closed, there is a perfectly comprehensive punned post on the board explaining why and it makes sense that people read that rather than make up stories.

I don't think a discussion about how any board is (or is not) moderated is necessary.

Punned post? Don't understand.

CK made a comment about how he felt moderation should operate here and I agreed with him. Whether such comments are "necessary" doesn't enter into it.


Mel is suggesting that there is a post that was the subject of humorous wordplay. Or possibly a pinned post.

No need to worry Lootman - the moderators aren't here to defend your honour, nor the honour of any other posters. The brave band of merry moderators are here to uphold the rules of the LemonFool. All hale the great Lemon. Huzzah!

I'm probably being OCD but I really don't like the way this software draws the quotes. The opening quotation marks are in the wrong place and we don't get a closing pair.

Obviously quoting you like this will be even worse! But I agree it looks wrong. Maybe Stooz can be persuaded to edit the template? (https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=2006725)

I think your mistake is to see them as literal quote signs. Try just seeing them as the word 'Quote', ie an indication that a quote is to follow.
