I might get kicked for this, hope not, but...
It sure would be nice if the administrators here would give a reason for locking a thread when they lock it.
Sometimes, it is obvious, like when the thread has degenerated into an
argument, or gotten off topic.
But others, like the recent NA thread, just get closed, with no explanation.
Now the Original Poster will know, because he got a PM, but the rest of us are left wondering.....
and if they are like me, they are scared now to ask, because it is obviously a Topic Not to Be Discussed.
This happens quite often with closed threads. The thread obviously violated some Terms of Use... but we don't get told which one.
That's like sending your child to Time Out and not explaining why.. they won't learn from it.
So, Admins, my suggestion is to put a brief explanation in the last post before locking the thread, so we members can learn what is not allowed here.
Thanks and hope this isn't goodbye!
