Please what is the reason behind the locking of a thread by Bitcointalk moderators? some of the thread about altcoins created by my friend has been locked for further comments after receiving up to 60+ comments within 24 hours. What's the reason behind this, please?
Threads generally get locked when they constitute spam or when there is already a thread discussion about the same topic or any other specific reason. Why not provide the link of the topic which got locked.
Better move this topic to Meta as it is related to forum moderation. Definitely. The number of comments doesn't mean anything, even you get a 10 pager thread after being posted 6 hours ago. Threads are more likely to be locked by the moderators if the topic is too off for a reason, not that really substantial, irrelevant at all ( even in off topic lol ) and duplicated or has the same topic as previous posted threads. Moderators more often just lock the thread instead of deleting it, it is a way of saying the reason above respectively, they appreciate your effort on posting and pleasing you not to do that again and be careful next time
