Lots of thread locks lately
I've noticed in the last few days, maybe longer, there are a lot of locked threads all of a sudden. I don't see any clear rules violations. Honestly, I don't see a ton of value in most of those threads... but that's just my opinion. Some of them had a fair amount of posts.
As I write this, there are 6 locked threads at the top of page 2. Here's a pretty typical "How do I deal with this scratch" thread. Again, not a lot of value in my opinion, but why the lock? Many members care about this kind of thing. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=633257 I appreciate the work the mods do to keep the board in good shape, but it would be nice if they posted as to why they are locking a specific thread. |

So many are repeat threads, shopping, value, trading topics that I am glad they are locking these things. Also they are very frequently by new members lately.

Just ask why two high profile members got banned recently. That conversation always gets shut down pretty quickly for some reason.
It seems there are some things we're just never meant to know, like why do car tyres only ever go flat at the bottom? |

I just looked at 7 pages of new threads and not a single one was locked. Maybe they had been "reported" and waiting for review by a moderator. Whatever happened, seems to be cleared up now.

Not sure what you’re looking at. Page 2 of Rolex General Discussion still showing 6 closed threads. Here’s a screenshot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Maybe message a moderator if you are concerned. I am sure whoever closed those threads had their reasons. Do you have any idea how many threads, posts, scammers, spammers, etc we have to deal with on a daily basis? To explain to people why each time would take quite a bit of time and we all have full time jobs and lives. We do this in our spare time and to give back to the community. So things go pretty well here and we have a great community. Enjoy the forum and contribute and we will do our best to keep the peace.

I was looking at the 7 pages under “New Posts” which looks at the latest threads, not just the Rolex subforum.

You have been here for a long time. When you arrived here in 2008 TRF was a small Forum but check out the Forum numbers today. I don’t know how the Mods manage to moderate the volume of threads and posts that appear each day and we can all see that many threads and posts are duplicated where the Forum could have be searched for the answers. The Moderators and Steve do their work for no monetary reward to make TRF a place where we can all enjoy a common bond and this takes up a lot of their valuable private time. All members whether pledge members or not must support and accept the actions of the “Mods” and be PROACTIVE in the running of the Forum. E.
