IIRC, the only other two mods that can lock and unlock in Civ2-General would be the admins-DanQ and MarkG. (Ming, MtG, and RAH being supermods, I imagine they control every forum)
There's an oldest thread, but some n00b stuck a "look hahah i founde the oldest thred" comment in it. Ruins all the fun. (I don't remember the thread itself being anything extravaganza-tational anyway)

i put someone on my ignore list once.
he's still there, as far as i'm concerned.
with all the people that i completely disagree with, or that have terrible debate styles, or that are completely irrational, or whatever. . . only one has been so disguistingly offensive that i didn't want to have to read, even by accident, anything he wrote ever again. i won't say who it is though.

Old, deleted usernames are automatically Ignored and you can't get them off--forum bug. For example, MarkG had some problems with his account once, so he deleted it and reregistered, and now all posts before then of his are autoignored. Likewise, I imagine that the mod who changed Ted's name deleted his previous account.

EDIT: Nevermind. I got Sprayber mixed up with Striker. 
I actually remember that thread.  Quite possibly my 1st post!

When a name is changed, it's still the same account. The old isn't deleted, because there is no old... just the same account with a different name

Oh. I knew that was how it was now, but I thought perhaps back in the Dark Ages, Apolyton's mods had an inferior, less intelligent idea of changing names. (Or a different forum (version) made it difficult.)

No... we just edit the name of the account. Everything else remains the same. It's always been that way since I became a mod

The records show that MarkG closed it. And frankly, he can do whatever he damn well pleases... So, I don't give it any more thought

Thank you for that bit of information, at least.
He can do whatever he damn well pleases, that's right. . . but WHY would he lock the thread? There's really no reason to. Unless he's a SCROOGE! and he DOESN"T LIKE CHRISTMAS, and he DOESN"T LIKE TRADITIONS. MEANIE!
oops, i forgot my smiley

Who knows what was behind it. As I said, when he or Dan do something, I don't waste much time questioning it. Their site... whatever they damn well please

Not quite true. bigfree1 was deleted and a new account was created as BigFree with some of the stats (IIRC) transferred. Old bigfree1 messages are ignored though, as seen in the early posts in some of the game-old ISDG threads.

Well, I didn't close it.
But I did check who did.
But due to the moderator code I will not disclose that information.
BUT, I doubt any attempt at a petition will be successful.
