By his own admission, the mod in question said this..... So,....why was the Covid thread locked?

COVID is unsafe? Muhuhahaha...

I'm good with the result if not the process. A more general medical thread would be good, though. I have no desire to run one, however happy.png.

You went on a big rant just for a few threads to be reopened?

You posted 7 times here for far less of a reason.

Now shoo.

In the recent lockings three large threads have been locked in a week or two. One was arguably the 3rd instance of a trolling thread, and shorter lived but large, two were longer running threads that have been around a long time (4-8 years) without any real hint of being shut down.

Which threads?

Climate change is a huge hoax #3

The Covid thread

The Climate change thread

Sorry, I am out of town today on my phone or I would link them

I am trying to find out more about what happened. I looked at the Climate Change thread's last 5 or so pages and didn't see anything very distressing (except the climate change). I am hesitant to make a deep dive into a 1289 page thread. I didn't see a lot of disagreement about climate change going on. Perhaps it had lost its major antagonists recently?

My forum (climate change = huge hoax) is still locked, presumably by somebody named Andrew Smith, considering the fact that they edited the first post despite not breaking TOS.

I received no warning of a lock beforehand and the same thing happened to the first two threads (albeit the first one by @EndgameEnthusiast2357 was deleted), which was why I had to make a third one in the first place.

I'm wondering if it could get unlocked considering the other climate change thread has already been unlocked.
