What Did I Do Wrong?

[savatage1973]

I posted a thread http://audiokarma.org/forums/index....a-2-30-steelers-playing.738368/#post-10002377 and it got locked--for what reason, I don't know. It was never meant to be political or religious (and no side/organization was picked), just observing an inappropriate timing occurrence on a Sunday afternoon. My intention was never to offend anyone or step over "the line", and I think that I worded it correctly and succinctly. Just wondering why it got locked, and what I did "wrong" so I can avoid this in the future?

I don't think it was anything you did. It looked to me like it was on the verge of going political.

There was one post with political connotations, but you really should ask this type question in private conversation to a Moderator.

That`s kind of like "Walking with intent to loiter", isn`t it ?

In most cases, the mod who does the locking provides some kind of explanation. Odd that it didn't happen here.

I count 2 posts with political content in the closed thread - reason enough. (check out post #11)

This thread is likely to go the same way, for discussing the decision of a Mod in open forum.

Yes questioning a mods decision publicly is frowned upon.

This is pretty much my point here--no explanation--no reasoning, or excuse at all.

The volunteer moderation staff does their very best to enforce these rules fairly. All questions on AK policy, moderation or staff members must be addressed via AK's Private Message function to a moderator or admin, and comments on moderation may never appear in the public boards.

Okay, then -- who's gonna report the thread?

I closed this because it opened the door to politics. And in the future, if you wonder what happened to a thread, please contact a moderator or admin in a private conversation rather than posting about it in the forums. And are we extra-sensitive to politics now? Yes.
