Re: difference between a locked thread and a thread that has been closed for commenting?

@Anonymous

 

I think these 2 are examples, but apologies if I misunderstood...one is locked, moved and zero responses...the other is locked and 94 responses (I know, Capt Obvious)...what is the difference?

Re: difference between a locked thread and a thread that has been closed for commenting?

@Anonymous, while we're on the subject of threads closed or locked, if I may, why are posts deleted without a reason & they aren't controversial, argumentative or anything disruptive, just poofed?  I asked the moderator that poofed one of mine, as have other's, but we get no response..

 

Thank you for your time.... OG

Re: difference between a locked thread and a thread that has been closed for commenting?

Hi @MacDUFF that's a good example. the thread "We all do have our opinions" was pointing fingers at posters in the Community and getting confrontational with little substance. The thread "I hate this time of year" started out with a substantial subject about hunting and became heated with difference of opinions. At times the threads will be cleaned up after they are closed or deleted and returned to the Forum. Hope this helps.

Hi @Suziepeach, All deleted posts should have a comment, if not it could be that several were moved and one comment left, especially if posters are arguing.

Just a comment. I was surprised to see my Starbucks thread locked today, only because a mod cleaned it up quite a bit last evening and it seemed OK after he did.  So I'm mystified as to why it got locked when it seemed to be back on track.  Oh well, not my call.  I was just surprised.  I too was posting a response on it when my post wouldn't post because it was Read Only from then on.

Whenever the word 'you', 'your' and/or 'you are' is used, the conversation lends itself to an argumentative tone.   Internet 101.

That may be but I don't see how it's relevant to my post.
