Let me assume I am catching this thread late but the link to the thread you are talking about is currently unlocked. But let's ideally assume it was locked, it could be as cause of avoiding spamming which Op or the moderator has to take sanction actions towards it but I see how clean the thread is currently going.
Maybe you can also lock this one if need has been served.
You also need to read prior comments and as in spam, there was no spam there, it must have been locked due to some other reason, and I am not going to lock this thread, you may report if you want to.
You must be overreacting because reporting has never come to my mind and it is neither not part of me. I was only thought that ethically discussions in the forum should be guided and when concluded should be sealed so that we don't keep repeating ourselves which may be unnecessarily time consuming for everyone.
