You... Raised this issue.
No, the thread was eventually closed due to the heating that was occurring.
As I already pointed out:
That is not a sudden thread closure, nor is it a zipping or a slamming.
Many people post negative feedback - it happens often enough to be notable. They do not get slammed shut, zipped or any other thing you claim is going on here.
@StarTreker was attempting to configure things that are currently still in need of development in Linux as a whole. 4K and fractional scaling are becoming more and more common and this needs addressing. We all know this.
However, Trekers emotions were getting rather high as he began phrasing his dismay over this differently than just "Negative Feedback."
He was calling Zorin OS itself "Unstable and Broken." Right after the release of Zorin OS 16 Lite.
Quote evidence of this.
Because looking over the thread in question, your claim lacks merit.
Show the shouting. Show how calling an entire Operating System "Broken and unstable" was Constructive criticism.
People post Negative feedback all the time. And they are not shut down or shouted down as you are claiming.
It is true and I make no diplomacy about it; that @StarTreker has a habit of posting over-the-top - telling users to Never use WINE, for example, due to it being Unstable and Breaking Zorin - Which was 100% untrue and the incident was due to @StarTreker making a mistake in using it.
You see the trend here.
And Zorin OS, as a Transitional form to help users migrate from Windows to Linux, relies heavily on users being able to enjoy WINE on their Zorin OS. Having such damning condemnations by a regular member is troublesome and absolutely needed addressing.
Then... There was the incident with the Brother Printer drivers thread, in which @StarTreker advised a member install the Printer Drivers in a way that removed the users desktop environment and rendered Zorin OS unusable for him.
These incidents added up to Treker feeling a great deal of negativity and pressure.
Any member of this forum cannot always find a way to perfectly help a person to understand the difference between constructive and helpful feedback and being too harsh and damaging.
And this is where how Human every single poster on here is really comes into clear focus.
We are not always going to respond in the way you want us to.
Or see your side clearly without bias. We can only do our best to work together to overcome bias and to see things clearly.
Treker was repeatedly addressed in Private and in public to consider how very harsh he was being, most importantly, due to his own mistakes or misunderstandings - and to take a more fair and even handed approach.
Treker chose to get very angry, make uncalled for accusations, then leave.
Post links to all threads you claim I locked that were defaming Zorin OS and the posts were irrelevant. Don't just claim it- Support your claim with Evidence.
IF this is going on, it certainly needs to be confronted and addressed. Perhaps I am out of line and need correction. But that cannot happen without evidence to support this. You need to show that what you say is happening really is happening as you claim it is.
You do not look even remotely uncomfortable to me... You have raised a long series of claims that need support. I see no discomfort in you here.
Your thread was indeed locked after you made a personal attack on all posters in the thread. That is not a trend of Moderation; it is Moderation.
There are places on the internet where free-abuse of others is permitted. You might try Reddit or Arch Forums or many others. There remains a code of conduct on many though, like the Ubuntu Forums or Like here: Attack the idea, not the members.
If you find that oppressive, that is fine. You can choose what course you take but it is not one in which you can state that Moderators are abusing you for closing your thread that existed for the sole purpose of and ended with you making attacks.
