I think they locked it because of the title of the thread.
But why would they do that? The OP was asking people how long they take to do TT puzzles, and that's exactly what they thread was about.
Why was this thread locked?

Maybe they only looked at the title not the content and put 2 + 2 =4
But what does the title have to do with 2+2=4?

Yeah, the attitude of mods has gotten out of hand. They didn't give a reason as to why the thread was locked.
Was it against the site's TOS? Did it discuss politics? Did it discuss cheating? Did it promote racism? Nooooo.
It was a very plain and simple topic that asked how long people think while solving TT problems. And they locked the thread stating no reason whatsoever. I demand an explanation from the mod who locked that thread.
It was hilarious!!

Yes, now explain which rule was violated.
Fantasy agreed
I agree. I was enjoying an intelligent conversation about how Queen sacs throw one off balance and how proceeding might lead to a sticky situation if one is not careful.

They know it; they just play dumb so they can be victimized by the staff.

His policies sure don't reflect that philosophy.

That's exactly how Erik is running the site. He's king of his hill. You don't like his hill, you go elsewhere.

I don't understand why this thread was locked. It discusses a very interesting and relevant topic, namely how long people typically take to do Tactics Trainer puzzles. The ensuing discussion was very lively and deep, and touched upon many interesting topics like how the computer's defenses and unexpected queen sacs affect the amount of time taken, as well as how age and how we do the puzzles (lying in bed, sitting down in a chair, etc) affect our performance. As someone who is very interested in improving my own tactics rating, I think such discussions are very valuable, and I have no idea why the staff thought they should lock the thread. Shouldn't discussions about chess tactics be encouraged on the chess.com forums?
