In your case, a similar thread was already present. That is the reason it was locked.
And threads like this should be posted in 'Help Ideas and Suggestions or Off-Topic'.

and sometimes it may get locked due to moderators own liking and disliking. You know what's the use of authority if u can't use it the way u prefer ? ;)

at xpf member: u r great :) not talking bout u. and just leave it because i don't want to be specific here but yeah it happened with me twice or so here nd it doesn't bother me, its just that i like this forum so i want it to improve, i.e i gave my view or suggestion dat is 2 alter this rule of distirbution of authority in a random manner at this social forum.the banning, editing authority should be with the owners only.

at bad robot: no wonder the members on this forum r only 12,000 or so. not increasing rapidly. popularity doesn't matter the ground reality is important i guess. and when did i say that the school going kids r not responsible? in fact the mods here are very pro-active :D but the thing is that they can make mistakes in judging some issue being discussed on any thread. they might ban it edit it caz it might not agree with their religion, culture, family traditions or just simply due to their own liking and disliking, this might not be intentional but u see this takes away the flavour of this forum, makes it boring for me. they will consider these things while making a decision which is not professional at all. so dre shud be some alternative rule. and this rule of giving mods responsibilities is also fine in a way that this keeps some members nd mods hooked up at this forum. :D

You don’t have to be a kid to like something or have your own opinions/views/beliefs about a subject matter, either. :p I’ve been on other forums, and there the mods/admins are mature, responsible adults, so they have even more control over the forums and what you post! They can delete/edit/lock a thread on the condition that it’s a rational reason. They could even inform/warn/ban the thread/comment holder – it’s all for the sole purpose of avoiding unwanted spammers, advertisements, immature people (regardless of age), just to keep the site clean and professional. Not the other way around. ;)

Besides, weren’t PlanetMaster and Badrobot14 ‘kids’ themselves when they created Xtremepapers? :p

To be honest, I always thought they were in their 30’s or maybe late 20’s. XD (I mean come on! how would a couple of 16 year olds design such a stunning success like this? :p Unless they’re gifted, got plenty of time and patience, and are very optimistic! :p)

No offense intended. Just putting forward an innocent contemplation. :D

perfectly fine nd its everyone's right to have dre own beliefs n views etc but when u edit or delete some post, then sometimes it gives an impression dat maybe intentionally or unintentionally u r imposing ur thinking and ending debate. i dnt know the page owners here. i thought the same like they might be in 30's or so.
but still this forum is really good. and i don't know any other forum of same quality. its dominated by pakis so that's another reason i m here. i agree with u. nice anaylsis.
P.S which other forums u have been around and how do u find this 1 different? :|

m sry bt i gotta agree wid rviboy at d case dat in sum VERY few cases, d mods hav banned accordin to deir own analysis nd idea......i neva said dat its absolutely wrong bt dats wat keeps ppl frm gettin totally into dis site.....dey r always under d risk of bein banned or deir thread bein locked nd, even if no one actually knows dem, deir iz a mental trigger of losin self respect...

howeva, d fact dat 20 yr old admins r holdin up dis site so well iz extremely appreciable...

at xpf member: u r great :) not talking bout u. and just leave it because i don't want to be specific here but yeah it happened with me twice or so here nd it doesn't bother me, its just that i like this forum so i want it to improve, i.e i gave my view or suggestion dat is 2 alter this rule of distirbution of authority in a random manner at this social forum.the banning, editing authority should be with the owners only.

on d oder hand i gotta disagree wid him wen he said dat dis forum iznt dat popular...ppl ARE joinin rapidly if u consider d fact dat u can call dis a PAKI site nd not many pakis r INTO O levels or studies in d frst place...Also, most of d times d locking of d threads is based on reasonable reasons! :p d mods here r active nd responsible nd i hav no objection to dat.
where i agree iz dat it oz part of human nature to SUMTIMES do according to ur own wish considerin dat dey r not as experienced nd r still teems...

I’m pretty sure people wouldn’t do that without an explanation. Especially if it was a debate, for instance, if it got heated up and turned into some kind of emotional argument by violating rules on this site, then the admins/mods must step in and bring an end to the row, no matter what impression it creates. Rules are meant to be followed. ;)
It's ’s just some forums on some commercial gaming site :p there isn’t much of a difference either.

:) :D

It already is. ;)

good to know ;p btw, looks like everyone’s making their own speculation at the moment about the admins’ ages, so why don’t you let the cat out of the bag? :D it wouldn’t hurt. :D
