Locking posts

[Laughingman12]

I posted something on the forum last night. When I waked up my post was lock. I don't know who but at least give me a reason on why the post was lock then locked it. I mean pm or reply under the thread.

You asked about limewire, these forums don't allow discussions of using tools to download pirated games and music.

The mods are being kind and by locking the thread, they could give you a vacation from the forums if you keep asking.

Don't you think is better to give you a reason, then lock the post. So people don't make the same mistake again?

Two rules stand out:

Posting threads about things which are illegal (warez, drugs, porn, etc) will result in a ban sometimes. Sometimes the mods will look the other way.

Posting a topic about why a topic was locked or deleted. PM the moderator if you must have an answer.

Ok the rules are pretty simple. But really A mod should really tell you why your post were lock either reply in thread or pm.

Noobs seem to be granted a couple of get-out-of-jail passes when they join. But there may be an experiation date on them.
