The message you posted does not prove any of my statement wrongs. Besides, I don't know what does SMT stands for, but I'm pretty sure that a topic or thread would not get locked if it is appropriate itself but just because there are spam in the replies, and that is what I said.
The topic can obviously be locked by the mods if its reported but only if they find it disturbing or breaking any rules, or is a spam by its nature. I never argued that doesn't happen.
SMT = Spam Mega Thread, which is exactly what that thread is. Try to find a post that doesn't say "good project" with a few redundant lines of "I wish you success/very strong team/I hope you success"; Mods WILL lock the thread if there is nothing productive being written there. I've actually seen multiple times mods going to a board (mainly Bitcoin Discussion) and locking 90% of the threads in the front page because they have turned into an SMT.
