Around Hockey XXV (All Non-Jackets Hockey Talk Here)

Still lucky I blocked it before. I'm a big fan of Patrik's, but he's not our player anymore. I'll keep an eye on him, but there's no point in having an open thread about him.

Yep, have DarkandStormy add him to the former CBJer list and give us biannual updates for those that are curious.

And like that the Laine trade thread gets locked. Weeks of Habs fans saying they win while the random CBJ fan says Laine can't stay healthy.

What thread, where? I haven't been in it, and I somehow can't find it.

Theorizing:

It’s for Jackets’ fan own good. He gone. Let him be gone.

Gloating invites the "told you so" response.

The rules are the rules regardless and that's always how it has been. Kicking a fanbase while they're down is never okay. A handful of Habs posters being know-it-all jerks do not represent the whole and do not justify that kind of response towards other Habs fans.

To be perfectly frank, if I had moderator powers on that forum, I'd have locked the thread too. There's already a mains discussion about the hit.

What rule closes a thread as soon as someone gets injured?

If kicking a fanbase while down actually applied, then many threads that the Jackets are involved in should be closed early on.

Per rules against moderator action disclosure I'm not at liberty to reveal details. I will note, though, that the existence of a thread about the hit on the mains made the closure of the trade thread much more likely. (That's the basis on which I'd personally have made the call if it was me.)

Thread closures aren't common but post cleanup is and that's frequently done. Again, per disclosure/privacy rules I'm not at liberty to be more specific. If you have continued concerns about the policy, there's a "Contact Us" link at the bottom of every page that puts you in touch with the admin staff.

Believe me, the way the Jackets fanbase gets kicked around on the mains sometimes drives me up a wall as much as any of y'all. And I do personally do what I can where possible.
