(Vanity)Why are the Christopher Reeve threads locked or pulled?(Vanity)

Just a quick question to the Moderators. Why was the Christopher Reeve thread last night pulled after 400+ posts? And why was today's thread locked after just 5 posts?

It sucks to be involved in a discussion and then have the thread pulled or locked, with the reason being, "Pulled" or "Locked". I understand you guys have a job to do, but can't you type in a few more characters to give us a "Why" it was pulled. I mean, there's a place for "Reason" there anyway, why not use it?

I'm seeing that.

All I was really trying to accomplish with this thread is for the moderators to give a "reason" for why a thread is pulled or locked, rather than just the comment, "pulled" or "locked".

I mean, it looks like there's a space there for a reason, and as somebody who was active on one of the threads, it would have been nice to see the reason.

And it really wouldn't have mattered what the reason was. The moderator could have simply said, "Thread does not comply with FR standards." And I would have been as happy as clam sh*t, and gone on about my business.

That's all. I didn't mean to start another CR thread.

I tried to create a post speculating about Kerry's statement that Reeve called him, and wondering if this could be true when Reeve was so sick.
But the admin guys pulled my thread.
Anyone have any ideas here?

So how exactly is this a "freedom forum" if an administrator decides what is appropriate and what is not. How this is different from so-called biased news organizations.

What are you talking about? This is PRIVATE forum for members only with rules. This is not an anything-goes posting board. And we have a stated bias. Did you read the front page?
