Why are some discussions "locked" so that you cannot respond? I wrote a comment and at first responses were not locked, but soon the responses were locked and I could not comment again if I wanted. Did I make sense?

On other forums, that I have been on, sometimes the thread gets locked if the subject is controversial and there is arguing going on. Not sure if this is the case with the ones that you saw.

No arguing. Just good advice. Thanks. I probably know why it was locked. Don't like it, but I probably know why.

ASK A MODERATOR

I've seen them lock topics when the replies get out of hand. There was one in Pictures, where someone posted a picture, 2 comments about the picture, then everyone else said "where's the picture?" for 4 pages. And the moderator stepped in and locked it.

Oh, and usually I've seen it where the moderator will put a comment at the end saying why it's locked

Any differences of opinion will cause a subject to get locked.

No explanation given, but I was complaining about Clotilde. It must be okay to praise these companies, but no complaints. A reputable company should be able to handle both. It's bound to happen - take your lumps. :!:

Anyone can have a difference of opinion - especially me.

I like differences of opinion. That's more interesting and is one way to learn.
