As a relatively new member, I have also wondered why some posts that are indeed helpful get locked-- even though I don't really see a reason why. However, the moderators may have their own reasons, but still, I find it weird all the same.
Just like what sir Maus0728 said, I often see theyoungmillionaire's and your name in the local forum. I guess you're one of the active posters here, and I'm grateful for your posts because most of what I know about the forum and social media are from your content. That's why I agree that posts like these shouldn't be locked.
See, even a Jr. member notice this activity in our local. Thanks for being observant and I hope that all of the members should also observe what's happening in here. There are many problems in our local since in the beginning like shitposting and spamming in the threads. I hope that our problem must resolve and the members of our community must develop their skills in posting. There are many things you can do here;
for example, I'm good at making posts that will help people and an eyeopener topics and also good at making signatures.
Even the problem in merit system also getting worst because of those people who abuse merits and people who doesn't want to contribute to persons who helped them. Replying on some topics and saying that it's really helpful but a simple contribution on developing the thread or a little appreciation on it can't be seen.
So, I want to voice out some things because I really wanted to make our community to be known also as a good members of the bitcoin forum. We, all of us must do a development and improvement in our community, even you're in the higher-ups or in the lower, we must help each other for the change we're looking for.
