In short, because they think it's fun.

Aye, that makes sense Jerseycaptain, but why in the world would people need to abuse their moderator tools on what appears to be a website geared towards children? Survival of the most idiotic from what it sounds like. It's fixed now at least, thanks everyone!

Actually, Red Eagle, the troll (and a few of his friends) WERE former staffers, who were recently terminated by steet, the webmaster, for their abuses and excesses. Unfortunately, this troll had access to site controls through a corrupted staff account. However, steet worked to correct it, and things are slowly improving. It just is taking time to undo the damage wrought by a bitter, selfish and childish individual who wants his way and is intent on forcing it upon the rest of us (as he and his friends did when they WERE on staff). It's just a continuous, childish game of stupidity, and demonstrates ever so clearly how hard it is "to find good help these days".

Well, that's not very good at all now is it? Why would a troll have an option too lock topics? Wouldn't that be something reserved for site staff? Adding to that, the site staff here should be dealing with the problem, I find it strange that no one else had reported this. Thank you Celtic Kate.

The topics in the True Story section,were unnecessarily locked by a troll,and it'll be sometime before they get unlocked,or they could be unlocked sooner,by sending a PM to one of the new staff members.
