I don't get how the moderator system works

Ok,not to be mean.I just want to confirm that i am not being mean.This isn't offensive or pointing a direction towards anyone.And since i said like a million times,that i am NOT trying to be mean,I request that i don't receive any offensive or sassy comments. So if i double post accidentally, i get like a million people shouting at me...And that was when I was new. Mlk was my first forum,so i never saw the forum rules.And then i posted like something about justin beiber,like why do people hate him so much,then i get like a reply saying that if i really wanted to know, i should click some link a mod sent me.And that's another question.Are we like supposed to go through every thread making sure that it is not related to ours?And the link that the moderator sent me,was not even what i was talking about.It was comparing justin beiber and rebecca black,while i was plainly talking AbOUT justin beiber.And why do these topics get locked?What's the purpose?Can't we edit it to make it something different,instead of locking it.Locking it,just makes it so that people don't reply.I run a forum now,and i hired a few mods(i still need more!)to just moderate.They went locking some people's topics that were related to someone else's.The people that posted the stuff left the forum and requested us to discard their account,and that the moderators are really stupid.So, i dont lock, i either remove or make them modify it.And please don't give me back some comments like-well how can i explain it?Maybe some comments with attitude or something like that.All i asked was for people to answer my questions.

Yes, you're supposed to look through old topics to make sure the one you want to post doesn't already exist. If it happens once or twice it's no big deal, there are always people around to point you in the right direction. But if it happens frequently it gets annoying.

If you look at the topic I linked you I think you'll find that it was a discussion of the two singers. No one was really comparing them to one another. And for that reason I thought it was unnecessary to have a JB topic when people had already discussed him in there, if you know what I mean?

I think I also mentioned that you need to pay more attention to where you post. A lot of your topics end seem to end up in the wrong sections.

Oh, and double posting is no big deal either if it happens by accident, but deliberate double posting is actually against forum rules. Which, by the way, you should definitely read if you haven't already.

No offence but if everyone went around re-posting existing threads, then it would be a pretty boring place wouldn't it?

Lol, why run a forum of your own with mods if you don't know what their job is. Kinda silly ..

Bit harsh. They were quite obviously referring to the moderator system on this forum specifically, not as a general term. Not every forum has the same set of rules, some prefer that you start duplicate topics if the previous one hasn't been posted in for X amount of time.

Which, ironically enough, is how MLK works. At the very least, I know for a fact that for a significant amount of time, it sued to be here that if a topic wasn't posted on for some 3 months, then it's acceptable to restart it in the form of a duplicate topic.

There are some rules this forum obeys. Ironically, this forum is even one of less strict I've been on, usually rules are much harsher.

All AdAstra wanted was to make forum clean, which is her and other staff's job. Double posts and topics are pointless. It's OK if you hadn't seen the other topic, it happens to each of us, it happened to me million times. But that isn't something to complain about. You made a mistake, OK, we continue with our lives. No one meant anything bad about you in particular for that. It was just pointed out.
