Assuming you missed the post where hans said he hadn't noticed the thread was locked?

To be fair I can see the OP's point.....but HKFC was also spot on, maybe just deleting the thread would have been the best thing to do in the first place, that old saying "Don't feed the Troll" springs to mind!

Which I did miss, which still means he has the chance to delete.

Honestly, I hadn't inferred that you were accusing him.

Please, don't be so childish.
There is not a chance I'd delete my reply. Not a chance in hell.
The reason that hateful shit like that gets spread all about the internet, is because lazy morons, are happy to believe it if it fits their prejudices, so won't bother checking the veracity of any of it. Leave it unchallenged and it gets cut and paste by ten more.

The OP's post in the locked thread was just a copy and paste from one of a few political forums.
I had a quick look on them and there were no sources and just immediate outrage.
There would have been no come-back from the OP.
Just a transparent demonstration of his low intelligence.

I too run a (quite different) forum, and have a few mods who I trust completely.
It's a very polite and genteel affair, but when someone does go batshit I never delete the post, so kudos to HKFC for not doing that. There's nothing worse (as a mod) than having to explain yourself. The locked thread usually tells why - and if it's a load of rubbish, as this one was, then it's best seen.
Secondly, my mod team always have the last word. That's why they're mods.
If they slip up, they apologise, in public - but I can count on one hand the times they have, as a collective, in the last ten years.
Being a moderator is unpaid, is actually quite demanding on your time and attention, and receives little to no thanks.
Cut the guy some slack. He's done nothing wrong.

I don't disagree, but I wanted to reply along your lines and had no chance to do so. Why should you have the right and I don't? If a thread is locked it should stay locked and no-one thereafter can reply.

I don't actually disagree, I just find it galling that we cannot react to a post but mods can. My forum used to buzz back in the day, it got gobbled up by social media. It is still there but not quite the vibrant place it once was. But I would never allow someone to post on a locked thread. It sucks of elitism.

Presumably you can start a new thread with your own reply, with a link to the locked thread?
I won't patronise you further with a 'bangs head against the wall' smiley, but which part of 'I was not aware the thread had been locked', is so hard to understand?
