why do posts with legitimate questions or asking for help/advice about legitimte problems get locked for wrong forum but yet none of the stupid worthless video game posts that have been reposted 50000000000000 times stay open?

stay open when # 500000000000001 happens

You're complaining because posts in the wrong forums get locked and because worthless video game posts also get locked? What is it you would like to have happen?

I've noticed that too. I guess the game posts stay open because they aren't asking for help with the game. But it should go in the Gaming Forum if it's anything about games. My $.02

"none of the... game posts... stay open"

At least it makes some sense if you meant all of the game posts stay open.
