One of my threads was locked.

This one:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5150396&mesg_id=5150396


Anyone know why?

I hope I didn't break any rules, it was not my intention.

If so, first, I apologize in advance. Second, would someone please let me know what I did wrong?

Thx!

That little archive symbol does look like a lock, doesn't it?

I outed myself as a doofus directly to the big guys.

3. Hi Crackpot America

That thread wasn't locked; it actually just fell into the archives, which all threads do after a certain period of time. So, you didn't break any rules or do anything wrong. :hi:

They have a really nice little icon of a padlock when it get's locked.

But if you haven't been locked down yet... you simply aren't trying.

12. So the real question is

if the thread isn't locked, will the thread asking WHY it got locked get locked?

:shrug:

(Usually if the admins lock a thread, they don't want to see another thread calling attention to the locked thread)
