Can Scubaboard Staff Post to threads that have been closed to regular members?

yes, often to our own great embarrasment

to clarify: we can, but we shouldn't unless to make an official posting
or something

Thanks for the honest answer.I was just looking at the Uncertified Divers thread and although it was closed it seemed to keep growing. Obviously rank has its privileges

Obviously rank has its priviliges

well, i am not sure why, but the "closed" flag doesn't prevent us from posting
in a closed thread. this means that sometimes we post to a thread we didn't know was closed (has happened to me).

The post after it was closed was actually a good one. My main complaint about the recent troll like behavior of a certain member is that his threads have led to dangerous responses and I felt the closing comment helped out in that area.

Ian,
Yep, that last post was mine!
If you look at the time stamps, you'll see that H2Andy and I were posting at the same time. Problem was that he hit the "send button" a second or two before I did, otherwise, I wouldn't have posted to the thread.

Thanks, Ianr33 . . . now I've got to pay a $10 late posting fee to the advisors !

Yup that last post was mine - made after the thread was closed, and before I noticed it. Once we spotted it was closed, we killed it.

Let's see that great privilege resulted in - uhh - well - hmmm... give me a decade and I'll think of some benefit.

I don't think you'll find many threads where staff post after its been closed unless its an "administrative" message of some sort. If messages do get inadvertantly posted, they also get removed (as was the case here). Too bad too - my post was one of the best ones going... eepwalla

Thanks Al - I'm sure I'll be able to resurect it in another thread some day...
