Why are threads locked quickly?
Howdy!

I've only been on these forums for a few days, but it seems that thread locks are used quickly and frequently around here. Of the 15 threads on the first page, only 4 are available for comment and of the 75 most recent topics, only 25 are open to chat. That translates to a discussion repression rate of 66% to 75%. Is repression of open discussion a common practice among Steam forums or just here?

Thanks and have a great day!

Joe.

Because 8 of those posts are threads you've made where we've explained why your ideas on phishing are not practical or goes against what we are willing to do. You've continued to spam the board by making asinine suggestions that we've already told you will not be implemented.

The other locked ones are because they're redundant when you do a simple search of the pinned topics to see that we have a dedicated thread on phishing and do not need loose ones mixed in with the others.

Take a quick look and see that we do in fact talk to our users, but we will not go around in circles explaining time and time again why certain ideas are not practical when a simple search of the forums can bring up dozens of threads where those explanations have happened before.

You have been told to stop spamming the boards and are only making this to try to paint us as the bad guys here. You'll be taking a bit of time off from the forums and when you're able to come back, please refrain from spamming topics like you have been for the past 24 hours.
