Top 5 prospects 23 and under LOCKED? 

Post#1 » by Duke4life831 » Mon Jul 18, 2016 3:33 am

I know this is going to get locked right away. But why was the previous thread locked? There were no harsh comments, no one was being a bully. Its the offseason and it was a good discussion about young players. There was no name calling, if someone had a different opinion it was said and people discussed and it seemed like everyone saw where everyone is coming from. That get locked? Yet we have multiple KD hate threads and we have a thread that is now like 6 or 7 pages deep about how awful the 6ers are at drafting even though there was no evidence to back that up and was clearly a thread made to just hate on a franchise. I made a thread about discussing young players with good basketball discussion and it gets locked. Makes no sense to me. But whatever

1. Mods hate when people "why my thread lock thread"
2. Probably better for player comparisons board
3. Mods to my knowledge used give reasons for lock
4. I really don't know

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

Well then maybe they should take 30 f***ing seconds to post an explanation.

But yes, in this case it should be on the player comparison board.


Im cool with an explanation and just move it over to the player comparison board. Im cool with that. I just think its dumb that it gets locked with no explanation. Just say theyre going to move it or start it up again in the PC board.

I just find it funny that it seems like over half the threads on the general board tend to be Lebron hate or KD hate threads that are always ugly basketball discussions. And a thread with legit good mature basketball discussion gets locked

To be honest i have no clue why a lot of threads get locked. It often seems arbitrary and wildly inconsistent. And they often give no explanation.

Probably just a bad mod or two. It's pretty much an inescapable problem anywhere on the Internet that has volunteer mods. People temped to wield the small amount of power their ever likely to have in life.

A thread like this would go on the Player Comparison forum.

Yeah, I was confused when I saw that locked as well.
Maybe it was because the conversation devolved into on-topic discussion?
Maybe they thought it was better put in the Player Comparisons board but due to the fact the mod was currently a hostage in a bank robbery he didn't want to risk his life to move the conversation to the other board or to provide an explanation?
If it belongs in the PC board, though, don't half of the other threads as well? Any conversation about NBA players inevitably is a discussion about that player in the context of other players.
Maybe the thread was deemed ageist? Why be a divider when you can be a uniter? #ageblind
Or maybe the mod's hamster just escaped from his cage and scurried over the keyboard hitting the lock button at an inopportune moment.
At the end of the day, it's not about wins and losses. Teamwork, fair play, and good sportsmanship make champions of us all.

Go arbitrary assortment of athletes! Beat the other arbitrary assortment of athletes or my mood will suffer!

Maybe you should message mods next time instead?
