why lock the "very serious problem **POLL** thread?

I made a poll about ninjas vs. pirates that was very abruptly locked, and I thought I'd inquire as to why. Not mad, just would like a "because you suck" or "because I'm the official pro-ninja/pro-pirate moderator and I don't like you".

thanks 😀

because it was a "nef" post, or a post with little meaning. At one point there were probably 20 coke vs. bruce lee polls. They got annoying, so they lock them all now that even hint at that, and I do not blame them.

Not that I am blaming you either.
