Locking A Thread


Ok I know this is a wonderful site and the dumb, DIY questions are annoying but their has to be an allowable time for us to bang on the posters before the mods close the threads

Work is slow and I will take entertainment anyway I can. I am tired of typing up these entertaining replies only to find the thread was locked before I got through typing.

Keep up the good work guys. Glad to be a member of such a wonderful place and you guys are doing a beautiful job <--- I a really mean that too

Re: Locking A Thread


I myself can not speak for ct, but as a mod on Nathans other site we close them rather quick so as to avoid arguments. You would be amazed at how fast these threads get out of hand.

I was just on the other thread and couldn't find my post. I finally decided I had missed clicking "Submit Reply" after I had it written out.

Oops!

Re: Locking A Thread


I can't believe ED locked 3 thread before I could get a response in. It was like an old Tyson fight got K'Od in seconds

I really wanted to help out the guy with the purlins question too.
