Scratching my head and wondering why some of the posts are being 'locked' all too abruptly. I have seen some boring topics, linger on and on and on, whilst others are cut short (albeit the quality and content was boring) but at what point do you censor or put something out of its misery?
I am not a regular poster, but I am a regular viewer as I read many entries on many of the subjects but over a course of time, I have come to the conclusion that some of the moderators here are a little too 'trigger happy' with the lock function. I wholeheartedly agree that anything that is vile, racist or bigoted should not be allowed on here but the 'Somerfield' posting for example was hardly exciting (good for insomniacs) and closed with a 'big yawn'.
I understand it's not my ball and therefore the owner or their associates can do what they want, but some of the recent lock downs are beginning to make me question the integrity of the forum. Shame too, because this is one of the better boards!
