I realize there are a few duplicate threads running here, some locked, but is it too much to ask for a reason a thread is closed lest one repeat the error or is it simply arbitrary?

Thanks.

Most of the locked threads have been flamebait, I think.

HEY!

I own the copy right on that Title!

My lawyers will be contacting you! ;)

As to the why no reasons? The powers of the modship!

In the bipolar world of American politics which is the order of the day, what position statement is not flamebait?

Well there is a difference between

"I think the shrub will really screw the middle class; why don't they see that"

and

"Lefties, stop your bitching, the vote is done; you just look pathetic."

You can argue postions without insults.....

And here I thought it was because I posted to it immediately before it was closed! Hmm. Am I losing my edge? ;)

Well clever? It got me a warning! ;)

Is it too much for the Mods to post that the thread is locked... Found myself clicking reply after the last post THEN finding out that the thread is locked.

Also a reason wouldn't hurt... might reduce repeat offences.

Excellent point! I've been warned for things I have seen others do with complete impunity. Some degree of consistency would be nice.

I would make the request to the moderation board. It's a valid comment and the majority of them will see it....

Wow, after this post, I thought this tread will get locked.

Wouldn't work. Bush is GODs man right now.

I just saw that the "53rd" state thread was locked -- I read through it, it was very very tame -- it was Onion tame

when did nationstates become a bunch of pussies?

When approximately 310,338,385 threads popped up relating to the election, the sucky-ness of democrates/republicans, the sheer hatred of Bush/gloating that he'd won, various attempts at 'humour' that were/are flamebait with a smily-face slapped in there somewhere?

Personally, the *last* thing I want to discuss is the election, so I appreciate the mods closing some of the threads related to it.

Hear! Hear!... of course this does smack of censorship but really, the elections are over... let's move on to other topics.
