Ok I will pin point a few reason why we lock threads on forums.
Also as you may noticed some small threads are being left alone, we are giving forums a go for small threads that seem to be an interesting topic to questions.
Now, main reason why we lock threads on forums that cause.
1: once an question has been answered for what OP has asked, so trolls do not give false information which is a forum 24 hour bannable offence.
2: when people start personally attacking other people on forums, so there for we review the threads and may take action and help to protect a few people, yes I get that people hate us for locking threads but we do it for a reason.
3: when a player just posts just random things that has barely no effort at all and done it on purpose is called spam, we warn the user and if they continue with their behaviour we then take furthermore action against them.
4: most common one is when OP asks us to lock their thread so people do not go off topic for a important discussion.
5: we also lock threads that actually go off topic from the original post, there for it is no use to stay active on forums.
6: also we lock threads that has a lack of effort cause if we keep them up it clogs the active forums board which then moves other active threads down to another page where other users cannot see them unless they go to page 2.
7: it is also against the ToU to discuss someone’s silence, forum ban or in game ban on our public channels, if we catch anyone doing this we will lock the thread and post a warning, if ignore then we take action.
8: it is also against the ToU to falsely accused players for cheating, stating others buy accounts to auto clickers.
9: we also lock threads that contains personal information or personal links or 3rd party links which is not allowed, we often allow certain links on forums but not the rest.
So as we keep on saying number of times, if a moderator has locked a thread and YOU believe it should stay active and unlocked, please state a reason for it, another review will take place then the moderator will then decide, if you have an issue with a moderator we do highly suggest along with the developers and support members to contact moderators besides posting on forums which can lead you to a 24 hour forum ban which we do not want.
Also we are required to post on a thread why it has been locked so op can see the post before we move it to the GY to clear forums.
If you believe a moderator is abusing his or hers powers please open up a ticket if you cannot resolve it with a moderator and discuss it with the team, if the team believes one of us has done wrong they will then personally contact us and give us a heads up.
So if anyone has issues with the rules please contact your moderator or anyone of us so we can help you out.
So this is a good discussion so it will remain open, just remember no attacking people, no accusing people, keep it friendly.
Many thanks
