"Not open for further comments"

[JMOR]

I for one appreciate this approach rather than simply seeing the thread gone the next time I am perusing the site. At least this way we can see how it ended and preserve some interesting bits and maybe even see what/who caused the problem(s).
Thanks,
JMOR

That is how the other sites I am on handle it. They will also cull some of the comments with public warnings before "locking" a thread.

I agree with the above. I would prefer to see a thread get locked down, rather than deleting it entirely. That way the good info that IS in the thread will still be available to the rest of us. The offensive posts can be deleted individually if necessary.

Did someone get excited or was it simply a pre-emptive strike?

If it's the thread I think it was, I thought it was going well, very civil. But maybe things changed since the last time I saw it.

I sure don't understand it either. First closed to further comments, OK. But then for what reason to delete it???

 

[GChief]

The OP can always request a thread they started be deleted. Happens sometimes on another forum I am on.

As GChief said maybe it was a requested by the O.P. delete.

Or, the first moderator froze it, and then admin looked at it and decided to delete it.
