Why was my thread closed?
I spent the time to post something that took a while to make (that other forums enjoyed btw) (see Scientific Guide to Douchebags of the Road) ,and its closed without warning...nice.
If it was closed because of the banter between a couple of members, try telling people to take it to pm's first before shutting a thread down. |

If you already have a feeling of why it was closed then why open another asking?

Seems like it was closed before things got further out of hand between members here. Even if mods were to say take it to the PMs or what not, it might not change the tone of other members posts. Jokingly or not. I think its probably better if you PMed the mods for an answer.
Just my 0.02¢. |

It is pretty obvious why your thread was locked. And need not an explanation of why such events have occured. But a tip regarding your closed thread.
Yes you took the time to post, but by posting something like that in an open forum, its direction is pretty obvious and leads down a path that turns your thread into garbage. Instead of pruning comments and obvious troll posts from your thread, It would be more effective to just lock the thread. We are a new forum, and we want to keep it as clean as possible for as long as possible. Other big forums have been around for a long time and tollerance for lulzthreads has increased. But lets not try to mix up this community as the same breed as the rest. Nothing against you. The nature of the thread that would have been locked eventually anyway.

A reason for the lock within the thread would have been sufficient to alleviate any questions that I had. Since you are so concerned with running this forum professionally, it is customary to provide a reason as to why a thread was closed without warning.
Further, the "Hella flush done right" thread seems just as inflammatory and that remains open...consistency is a virtue. |

Honestly, I think only senior members or at least a certain number of posts should be required before a member is allowed to make a thread, it would help cut down on the troll threads and or dup threads that after awhile will over run and be 50% of the started threads Eventually anyway
My .02¢

Lone wolf,
I wanted to personally apologize to you for being one of the contributing members which caused your thread to be locked. You did put in time and effort to create that thread, and I ruined that by letting my temper get the best of me.

"Hella flush" started as a legitimate inquiry and could have stayed clean or been poisoned by trollin which would have been locked (a prunable thread). Your thread started as a statement of types of drivers that are listed as douche bags and would have not stayed clean as a debatable thread. Running this forum is just trying to keep it clean for the community, not necessarily keeping it professional. We really do not need to explain ourselves for how we run this site. You can make Lulz threads...not troll threads, keep it clean, and it wont be locked. Simple. Just use your best judgement. I'm pretty lenient in how far a thread goes, only cuz im so desensitized by lurking 4chan for so long..

I was simply trying to provide some lulz for the community and it turned into all of this nonsense. |

Asking for a bit of transparency isn't a bad thing, among the members that know me here.. I will usually end up with lul pics before I lock a thread instating that the thread has gone on long enough. But doing the same for 15-30 locked troll threads a week is counter-productive. And threads that blatantly disregard T.O.U. (USUALLY) require no explanation. unfortunately not all moods are created equal. and some are less tollerant of a bit of lulz. Only thing I ask for members is have a good time, but don't make it so you need policing.

I was the one that closed the thread. Sorry if there was no explanation left, but I thought it was fairly self explanatory given the turn the thread had taken and the subject matter. |
