Perhaps the Mods have finally decided to put an end to all the pointless Thread flood etc. just don´t be upset and take it. At least your particular Post that has been closed was really wasted bits n bytes. Theres a ton of unconstructive, flaming or simply pointless Threads. You may have been one of the first the new politics have been applied to. Or the my little Pony thread is just dead... whatsoever.... do Your Beta Tester job in here or switch to off topic...

Your post should have been in off-topic, not general discussion, which is assumed to be general game discussion. I'm assuming they locked it due to that, although a simple move would have worked too, it was TL;DR...so I'm hoping it didn't end up a flame thing.

AFAIK the Pony threads along with other junk, is all in Off-Topic....maybe finding the correct place to post would help you? They have a room for the off topic stuff, away from the info threads, if we all kept to that...things like this wouldn't happen.

Oh and btw... if it was up to me i would erase any Thread that doesn´t apply to these easy rules:

While some of the threads may not seem very constructive (the whining about repairs/matchmaking/swaybacks/gaussapults/etc.), they do, at least some of the time, generate some kind of constructive discussion. Even if the same half dozen points get repeated ad nauseum into the ground.

If you feel a thread is blatantly pointless, or needs to be removed, feel free to report it and let the moderators make that decision. Much of the more pointless threads end up over in Off Topic, and the mods have no trouble moving threads over there. Arguing about moderator decisions here doesn't accomplish much of anything, if you have a problem with what one of them did, send a PM to the mods and they can check things out on their end if it was done properly.

PGI will now impose a $50 fine on you because your thread got locked.

Oh, wait... no they won't. In fact, nothing whatsoever will happen.

So why do you give a rat's ***?

It is a game forums. You cannot have constructive debate here, even about what is constructive or not.

[Lonestar1771]

It's called "The Circle". It's a group of forumites who all bow down to their masters (PGI) and blindly worship all that they do. If you are not of the circle then you are a jerk.

Point being....

Don't be outside The Circle.
Be inside The Circle, Jerk.

I will agree that some of the moderation that I saw today left me a bit meh, your topic was an off topic, but it was not harming anyone. There are forest fires burning around, countless useless threads on the same beaten topics are opened daily etc.

Anyway, this should belong to offtopic.

And you could work on your thread naming skills a bit, just for the sake of quietness.
