You All Act Like Challenging Superiours is Wrong - Ming-Yan - 08-10-2011
Challenging the higher up is how change is made. Tell me one forum where NO ONE had any criticism towards the creator or community assistants. Even something like a suggestion to add to the game is a form of criticism, indirectly directed towards the creator(s) or said game.
Even in a real life instance, people with more power are challenged, look at the government, look at capitalism and a work space in general.
I mean EVEN KIDS challenge their Parents to get more rights or challenge the school board for things.
Criticism isn't bad and shouldn't be locked, only flaming. Only a legitimate excessive amount of flame can be locked, because locking right when tension gets high just feeds the fire. I DID NOT say don't lock rule breaking things, I said don't lock something until there is a solid flame, I know you are trying to prevent stuff from happening but when you get involved via a lock, or a ban ,or a deletion, or warning, it makes it worse.
[/rant end]
TL;DR
Superiours are always challenged and criticized to make change, stopping it with fears of what will happen only makes it worse.

Instead of locking the thread for flame moderators should either delete all the flame replies or try to get the thread back on topic.

Yeah, I would suggest that as well, to just remove the flames.
Even ROBLOX does that.

Criticism is allowed, but flaming is not, and it's a thin line. Even if the original post is fine, if someone has a strong opinion on the subject they can lose their temper and start a flame war.
On the Minecraft forums, threads that turn into flames are locked, and the creator reposts the thread with a warning not to flame.

However, will removal of just the flaming work?
The OP can easily write it's not a flame and even still many people do that here [writing that is it not a flame].

Doesn't it make more sense to just edit the OP and say "Mod edit
eople deemed to be flaming in this thread will be warned or banned"
