Poll question: I've had a thread Locked...have you and if so, why?

I ain't proud of it but it's happened. Been here four years and hosed up about 3-4 times...

[CreekDog]

I was correct in another dimension.

5. only once and was funny. my title was sexist towards men, even though the title were words

out of the mens mouth and i was arguing for the men..... saying that is not who they are. so i was being non sexist, while the men were being sexist to themselves and the thread was locked.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Oh yes...

More than once, too...

[AlCzervik]

8. not today but i have had them locked before and rightfully so.

[Faygo Kid]

9. Never, since 2002. Of course, I have pictures of Skinner at that bus station. . .

He knows better than to "take the risk."

[DainBramaged]

10. As defender of the UAW and GM, my views ARE unpopular here

but I don't care.

[annabanana]

11. yes, once... but I was noob then, and misunderstood . . . n/t

[Boojatta]

12. I don't believe it.

You may have had a post deleted or a thread locked, but I don't believe that you've had a post locked.

[catnhatnh]

16. Perhaps I merely

misunderenunciated mah meanin'....you are correct-thread locked.

Oh yeah-and I editted the original post to appear less stupid-Thanks.

[catnhatnh]

13. This is my first poll....

I remember my shock and embarassment the first time I got locked. Oh yeah-and anger too. The point is that if a moderator locks you, you need to reconsider what the hell you wrote and NOT to challenge them. At very least you wrote something that could be misundertood. At worst, perhaps you need to reconsider your values. But either way, if you are really unsure, PM the monitor-most are great people. Last time I blew it, I apologized before the lock and the Moderator PM'ed me to say my post had value (if expressed correctly) and that the apology was "a classy move".

15. If you haven't ever had a thread locked

You're not trying hard enough.

[pink-o]

17. I chose "other" It was inferred that I was asking for medical advice!

I didn't think I was, but sometimes I don't interpret my own statements the way that others do!

More often than not, my threads just sink like big stones in a lake. I've come to the conclusion that anything I can say, someone else can say better.

[Skink]

18. I only post in threads that get locked.

tick tick tick...

[htuttle]

19. Nope, but I think I had a reply "Deleted Message"'ed once

I poked a troll too hard...

[dweller]

20. other ... the usual posting

while drinking.

hey, safer than driving!
