Moderators, please fix Tull's obscacle spawning thread

There's a sub community of special obstacle collectors who really look forward to these events, but it seems like a well-intended merge went awry and things got screwed up. Tull has abandoned the whole thing, and I can't say I blame him.

Please fix the existing thread, or tell us/Tull how it can be fixed.

Thanks!

Best thing to do if you want to talk to a moderator is to send them a PM. It is against the rules to discuss moderator actions in the threads anyway, so that is best to be avoided.

Well that's disappointing too. Good outcomes come from constructive, open dialogue.

EDIT: Actually, my read of the rule in question is that it applies to disciplinary actions, not ALL actions:

19. You may not discuss publicly any (disciplinary) actions taken by staff, moderators or support such as banning, closing forum threads, deleting forum posts / threads etc. Also, posting publicly any private messages / emails, regardless of topic, you have received from either staff, moderators or support is prohibited.

Anyway. I'm not trying to rock the boat or anything, I'm trying to help. There are a bunch of disappointed people. This outcome probably wasn't intentional, and we should be able to fix it fairly easily.

I didn’t think you were and you might be right about the rule, just thought I’d give you that tip as it seems close to me. Not my call though.

pardon me as i have very less idea about all these thread stuff but, i have always seen tullsadum making these special obstacle theme based competition threads which are fun to participate, be it a halloween, a christmas or a 5th year aniversary.

I was sad to see the traditional TS thread disappear. Altho this holiday there seems to be bigger issues with the spawn rate on inactive v active bases lol. It might be bigger than clouds .......:straightface:

You can't unmerge a thread, and deleting the first post of a thread deletes the entire thread. The only way to "fix" it is to create a new one - which at this point probably should only be done with mod permission.

It sucks that 1 person has the power to ruin a tradition. RIP obstacle thread tradition

Signed.

Hope someone can fix it somehow.These obstacle threads are such a fun part of the forums.
If Tull is prepared to go to the trouble of running them for every spawning event then l think that someone should do the right thing and fix this,if it is possible of course.

It wasn't intentional, as you say.

It happened because an older post than Tull's was merged into it.

I have moved those posts back out (and closed the resultant thread).

Not quite true. You can't unmerge as such, but you can move posts out of a thread into another. And there were only 6 posts before the "proper" opening post.
