The fundamental issue is you. Open new thread about Volvo safety, I’ll post it there.

If a forum ran by individuals at no cost to you is driving you to insanity I think you need to see someone. Or maybe find another hobby aside from internet trolling.

I meant @ursus going coocoo with moderation buttons and self serving thread adjustments, but thanks for playing.

Here is another one coming lol

It was not relevant info. It was a jab. Also useless links as we have already confirmed there are plenty of competitors that are safer than the XC90, Volvo brokers on this forum notwithstanding.

Can you unlock the slow mode on the bmw thread, I need to edit the post I already made. I know you do it for yourself, and we know you do by your own admission, so please let me edit the post in there.

You know too much. I don’t. And will not remove slow mode, but you can ask the mod who set it. Or go for a walk for 15 minutes and post then.

This kind of proves the point that you can do it and did do it, so you do know what I’m talking about. And you know perfectly well that there is no way to know who set it, which was covered in this thread, and all of TH ignore it anyways.

I replied to a post about Volvo safety from another mod. Has nothing to do with you, just added new info.

Really? If I have a gun - does it mean I shoot people?

If only you could read…

32

Not the point, the thread was locked, why is it not locked for your royal highness? If it’s locked, it’s locked. You, and yes, your directly and personally, moderate based on your personal feelings towards individual users, something I really haven’t seen from any other TH here.

You literally just edited a locked thread, you have no leg to stand on

It’s at 2 hours, so someone else edited it afterwards, if only you knew that, and wasn’t a complete ass

Slowing this down, just for you: 1 hour

34

Do you do it because you want to assert your dominance and control? It’s the internet people can read whatever they want and can skip an entire thread if they wish. This forum is completely over-moderated and users have to ask why. Is it simply the control that you seek or are you covering for your paid advertisers. I’ll go with the latter.

35

Since this was feedback about slow mode (or a psychoanalysis of me for using it), I wanted to move it to the Slow Mode feedback thread, which is not currently subject to slow mode, in case you want to reframe your observation - unrestricted.

I’m just a spectator these days, unfortunately or maybe fortunately there comes a time when you just grow bored of forum antics and drama.

Sorry for the zombie post but I’m fairly new to this forum and always wondered about slow mode interval times.

At the surface I understand how it promotes better thought out responses and deescalates and rerails the conversation but as discussed in this chain, why do different time intervals exist? I would think 1 hour would be sufficient as 4 hours is just strange.(“I’m gonna come back in 4 hours and roast this last post!”).

There are some threads on LH that don’t need to be on a 4 hour slow mode in my opinion but maybe because I haven’t been here that long, I don’t see the value of it.

I’m not requesting any change in policy… just wondering about the intervals as I definitely think slow mode works (this is actually the first forum I’ve seen this feature in).
