Please don't lock threads without telling us why
« on: April 22, 2014, 11:07:35 PM »
As we are not mind readers. We don't know what specifically caused you to lock them, and that knowledge is important. Without it, we might inadvertently repeat the same mistakes.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Read the rest of the posts and the obvious trends and it should tell you all you need to know...

All I see is a lot of agreement, and one dissenter, who is a borderline troll. No contention, no argument, no politics or religion, or personal attacks, flaming, trolling, nothing.

All on the same topic.

I concur

2- Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics.

3- Do not open a new thread that duplicates a current topic.

I think it was a little bit of #2 as well :)

Agreed. In fact HTC is unusually lenient as far as thread moderation goes compared to other game forums.

I doubt very many really ever had a thread locked and not known why.  If they really didn't, they need to be disarmed of all devices connected to the internet  :D

Skuzzy did state: multiple threads same topic (paraphrased.) It's a rule.

Not that hard to figure out.
They're casting their bait over there, see?

i see one thread was locked because they are sarcastically beating a dead horse without giving a relevant wish.  :bolt:

Thats why the subsuquent threads have been locked, yes, but that doesn't state why the initial thread was locked.
