I'm not sure myself. I was just reading it and noticed it was locked.

Not sure either? No bells or whistles went off, as far as I can tell.

Also curious as it was a legitimate query with no follow-up hostilities and/or rudeness.

chances are the OP of that thread mentioned a company the forum or rolex has had concerns with or the OP's posts have been monitored-- therefore kill it quick.
i've noticed that when an explanation is left by a mod, its a learning opportunity for the forum. when there isn't, it's not worth opening a debate because it just the way it is. lets remember, this is a private forum and there really doesn't have to be a reason given. |

A lock doesn't necessarily mean that a rule was broken. If a mod thinks a thread has run its course (e.g. OP's question has been resolved, thread is years old and OP is long gone, etc.) then he has the right to lock it

I try to look at as many locked threads as I can make sure I don't inadvertantly post a disruptive thing or violate a rule of the forum, and some of them I am scratching my head why they might have been locked. Expalnations help us to learn how to keep things between the lines.

I'm active on numerous forums, from College Athletics forums supporting my school to forums that deal with my FJ60.... I have never had a thread locked, let alone locked this quick with no explanation of what I did wrong. |

Thread Locked?
I often wonder the same thing.

As stated above, one mod (me) was offered $$$$$$$$ to close the thread.
I was subsequently offered $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to re-open. My greed won as usual. Other than that, dunno why it was locked (if it ever was locked) and then unlocked.

It was indeed locked. Others on this thread made comments about it. I wouldn't have posted this if it wasn't. So, mods can be offered $ to lock threads around here? |

Had a thread locked recently on open discussion, it didn't seem to be in violation to any rules and was locked within a few minutes of posting. Do mods ever follow up as to why a thread was locked? Not sure what I did wrong or what to do different in the future...

The few responses you got should give you a clue. Threads about personal net worth and salary never end well, so we just end them in advance.

Keep questioning the mods and you'll soon find out how interesting it is.
