Why lock my thread about being on the Campaign Trail In New Hampshire?

[symbolman]

I don't get it, how about at least a note as to WHY you locked my thread..

I contribute a lot to the forum and am putting a lot of sweat into getting the truth to people..

so who locked it?

[cprise]

1. I posted a follow-up thread and it was deleted.

I don't know why.

I wonder if someone just thinks Lieberman threads are better off locked because he's bound to attract negative comments.

3. But it's

FUNNY..

I'm starting to wonder about this place..

2. I smell another locked topic...

...I think you are supposed to contact the moderators and not start another thread to critize their decisions.

4. This is the wrong forum to ask, as well as the wrong forum for ...

... posts that discuss Democatic Presidential Primary candidates (i.e. Lieberman).

Rules to start discussion threads in the General Discussion forum.

1. If you start a thread in the General Discussion forum, you must present your opinion in a manner that is not inflammatory, which respects differences in opinion, and which is likely to lead to respectful discussion rather than flaming. Some examples of things which should generally be avoided are: unnecessarily hot rhetoric, nicknames for prominent Democrats or their supporters, broad-brush statements about groups of people, single-sentence "drive-by" thread topics, etc.

2. The subject line of a discussion thread must accurately reflect the actual content of the message.

3. The subject line of a discussion thread may not include profanity or swear words, even if words or letters are replaced by asterisks, dashes, or abbreviations.

4. The subject line and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation.

5. If you post an article or other published content which is from a conservative source or which expresses a traditionally conservative viewpoint, you must state your opinion about the piece and/or the issues it raises.

6. You may not start a new discussion thread in order to continue a current or recent flame war from another thread. The moderators have the authority to lock threads in order to contain flaming on a particular topic to only one thread at a time.

7. Discussion topics that mention any or all of the Democratic presidential primary candidates are not permitted in the General Discussion forum, and instead must be posted in the General Discussion: 2004 Primary forum.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
