Locked FS/FT Thread?

[IJump]

If you could let me know why this thread:

http://subscriber.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=45&threadid=995835

is locked, I will rectify the situation. If it is the title, that is easily changed.


Otherwise, of you could bump it the the first page and leave it locked, you know how people like to look in locked threads....

Looks like the title is not acceptable.

Nothing in the contents seems offensive except that it may cause some drooling

The title is a violation of forum rules which is available for all to read.

Per AT FS/FT Rules:

No misleading thread titles. (nude pics, goats, naked, etc.)

I missed that rule.. I even looked over the rules before I changed the title and then after it got locked.... Maybe a case of selective viewing on my part... I am still willing to change it if the mods feel that is acceptable.....

It's locked, since you now know why you can go create a new thread. Just don't use the same title Also, for whatever it's worth you should know that non-subsribers can't do full text searches. So if someone was looking for 'case' or 'cases' and searched FS, they would never find your thread. I'd recommend putting as much info in the title as you can, your more likley to catch ones eye (IMHO) and someone searching for what your selling might find you.

I did on the first title....Then I editted and was being funny. I will probably start a new thread tomorrow if the Mods don't unlock that one.... I have PMed with them about it. No big deal, you live and learn....

I don't find it funny, but I could see how some could. Nevertheless, it's turned into a big nef fest, and probably should get the lock.
