Protest against thread locking

Dennis Jackson38 locked my thread on LES with a pretty vague explanation. Since this subforum is specifically meant for adults, I really don't see how any rules were broken here. Even if they feel it’s too similar to another topic—which would basically mean closing every third thread on the site—they could at least move the poll over since there isn't one there. ☕ I'd appreciate a public apology. 😉

thanks, best

We gave this topic a fair shake; it was vital to determine our next steps and clarify whether there’s actually any distinction between your individual data and the aggregate totals. I pointed out exactly that in my previous message before you even launched this thread.

Please, let’s refrain from labeling everyone as puritans. This was strictly a technical oversight, not some sort of moral failing.

There is absolutely no need for anyone to offer apologies here, particularly since you admitted in your opening post that you were starting this pointless poll simply because you were bored. We aren't under any obligation to indulge triviality or boredom; our priority is to maintain the continuity and substance of the PDF archives.

For now, the thread remains open, and provided the rest of the group is in agreement, feel free to continue the discussion.

There’s really no reason for anyone to apologize, especially since you admitted in your opening post that you were starting this pointless poll (thread) just because you were bored. It isn't our job to indulge boredom or nonsense; our goal is to maintain the continuity and substance of the PDF.

The thread remains open for now, provided the rest of the staff agrees, so feel free to join the discussion.

I humbly apologize, but I haven't really noticed a pattern where threads get locked before we actually determine if they deserve to be closed. It might have been better to handle it that way first. ☕

The apology thing was just a joke, honestly, because it doesn't really matter to me.

If we aren't going to tolerate boredom or nonsense, you could probably lock about 80% of the topics on this entire forum without any trouble. ☕So, that's my take on that "argument."

It's a little hard to fully enjoy things when a few mods tend to kill the vibe... but it's good to know that most of you are rational and know what you're doing. ☕Cheers, and thanks to the other mods.
