What makes a thread get locked?

[sparkle]

Just wondering. I know sometimes it may be pointless ie:"hmmm" threads. But just out of curiosity why the peeing on the floor thread? Seems to me this is the off topic section. At what point is a topic considered too off topic?

Please don't just lock this one this might be useful to some of us newer guys.

Threads relating to piracy and illegal stuff are locked.

Depends on what Mod is on duty..
I.E. The Mean Mod :Q or The Nice Mod




Wonder who is on now ???????????????????


think we will find out soon ..

 

[sparkle]

and who are the mods? ie: nice mod, mean mod. Are they people who post as well?

No, sources say they're really an experiment with a bunch of PC's that were linked together to crack RC5 gone horribly wrong.

Thats a good ? let me see would it be a Moderator hitting the close thread button..


I think so

Irrelevent posts, like posting a greeting on the Hot Deals forum. If the thread contains coupon codes, it'll be locked. If you post something that'll benefit you--like a referral link--it'll get locked. If you post about how one can get around and deceive a company, it'll get locked. Well you get the picture.

What can we post here to get this thread locked? Who wants to find out? A valid windows 2000 serial number is ..... hehe...

ok, overclocked

we know who the wiseguy is. cough*jerk*cough

 

Sparkle, my mind wandered in that direction too.

I think moderators should mention why a thread is locked . . .. Of course, his [or her] words should be free of personal comments or argument against the person!

I mean, I was wondering too why that thread was locked . . .. Perhaps an explicit note on what isn't permissible would be quite helpful . . ..

I think Mods are trying to keep a good standard on post topic & conduct etc,after all new Members are joining all the time & the quality of the Forums is important to both old & new Members,we may not always know why the thread is locked but can make a good guess.
