Yameru! Yamete kudasai!
The Official Sesame Street Conspirators thread is giving me headaches. Yup. It’s making me crazy. I’m depressed at one point then overwhelmed at the next then back to being disappointed and now relieved. Whew!
Forum fights are not new to me. I’m part of several online communities and I’ve been seeing a lot of arguments from time to time. What’s unique about NG boards is that they are all guys having heated discussions!
When SSC thread was locked yesterday, I felt the same odd feeling when “Ganda ni rae214″ was locked last year. Locked-thread syndrome. No posting for the first few days, too lazy to login, no longer interested with the community. Name it, anything about online depression – I’ve felt it. I felt as if NG forums broke up with me. 
Here’s what happened:
*September 02, 2010 at 04:40:14 AM – Thread Locked (Reply #15238)
*September 03, 2010 at 12:30:34 AM – REOPENED
*September 03, 2010 around 2 AM after Miro’s post at 01:50:30 AM – Locked again
*September 03, 2010 at 03:11:59 AM – Sent PM to admin/mods
*September 03, 2010 – Checked at 4AM – Unlocked again
All of a sudden, I was a drama queen – emotional and impulsive at the same time. But I tried my best to compose a decent email:
Dearest Admin,
We thank you for unlocking the SSC thread but it’s so saddening to see it locked again after 2 hours. I can’t see any other reason except for the latest one-liner post: “Bazinga”.
I understand that you have given us final warning but wouldn’t it be unfair if the thread will be locked again due to other people’s irresponsibility? We, SSC members are trying to resolve issues on our own. And just when we thought we’ve settled everything, our simple happiness will be taken away in an instant just because a non-SSC hijacked the thread.
Everyone had just expressed their feelings of relief, happiness and most of all gratefulness to moderators for unlocking it. What’s so disappointing is the fact that all eyes are on us now and some people won’t care if the thread get locked again. Worst, there might be few who’d really love to have this thread exiled.
I am affected because it’s not just a thread. It’s our home. A little space from NG forum that makes me enjoy this community even more. Please reconsider everything and don’t just lock the thread. Yes, you have all the rights to do so but please have a heart for the innocent ones.
I’m worried about what others might feel when they wake up this morning… In the end, there’s really nothing to celebrate about this day.
Thanks for reading and more power! I hope that this request will be favorably considered.
Regards,
Liz
That’s the second email. The first one was sent to watchwulf right after locking the thread. Thanks to other puppets who PMed admins for their plea. 
We all worked as one! Thank you so much and I enjoyed being with all of you. ^_^
And I’ve learned something new today: BAZINGA! Not really. Actually, it confuses me! Talk about people’s own definition. Tsk. Found it at Urban Dictionary.
