As this is a message board/forum, I think we should be open for discussion. Lately I've noticed threads being locked with no reasoning given. One example:
- The Kofi Kingston push thread. I didn't see it go off topic or get ugly. There was praise and there was criticisms. I was enjoying the discussion until it was all of a sudden locked with no reason given.
Maybe when a thread is locked, a mod can post the reasoning in their post, rather than making a joke. Just a suggestion.

Thank you Garrett for posting. It's pretty annoying.
Marino13 has been locking my threads, and ends them with childish insults, to which I cannot respond to. Can his useless account please be banned?
I've been a member on this forum for about 15 years. I do not insult other users or post things that are inappropriate. Why lock threads where users are conversing about wrestling? We all love wrestling. Isn't that what this forum is for?

For all we know there was a rule broken or a legitimate reason that the lock was put into effect. I just want some transparency. |

First I never said combine your “Hitman vs Tommy McGee “thread together with the “thoughts on Bret Hart” thread. What I said both on the board and I think in a message to your question the guy that bumped a 4 year old thread about Hitman matches could have easily gone into your thread which had already gone off track. I told you I locked that 4 year old thread and put his post in to yours to get the discussion back on Hart’s talent to make others look good. And secondly I know for sure there’s rules posted at the top of the page which if aren’t followed then they’ll get locked or deleted. I would guess it’s the same on WWE board and marino13 is enforcing them. And honestly I have never seen him lock anything that didn’t need to be. |

Thanks for responding. I know there are rules for the forum, my suggestion is maybe posting what rule(s) was/were broken instead of just posting a gif like in the Kofi thread. Otherwise we're just left to guess and hope we don't maybe unintentionally do it again. This is the forum support board. I will be quite upset if this is locked despite my measures to be as diplomatic as possible in asking why the Kofi thread was locked. |

Fair enough, but if I lock a thread in the Classic board it’s either for talking about modern wrestling or bumping a thread that has been dead for months or longer. Luckily we don’t seem to get the flame wars there that other boards seem to get. But if you want I could say why in the thread.

I mean, I'd be for it. Could help to educate people on proper etiquette and rules. No harm in reminders.

Here's the Kofi thread that Garrett was talking about: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/358378/kofi-kingston-breaks-wrestling-logicAnd a Becky Lynch thread: forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/358370/becky-lynch-copying-conor-mcgregorIronically, you liked the post where marino13 called the thread dumb and locked it. I didn't get to respond to the thread because it was only live for a few hours. So here's some quick searching on Youtube of a few times where Becky says what Conor says. "didn't come here to take part, I came here to take over" "Slap the head off" - Conor says this a lot, now Becky does "I run this _____" "Double Champ" talk |

The thread about Kofi’s push I agree with you that I can’t take seriously that a guy who’s been a mid-carder for 11 years became a main event champion. But at the same time I know it’s scripted so if the majority of the fans wanted it that’s fine. And it seems they did by the reactions he was getting.
The other thread I did like it because at this point in time everyone copies someone. And I am sure Conner got some of his from others. So yes I found it a Captain Obvious type post.
But remember many times posts are locked not because of the original post but the replies. And replies could have been reported/deleted before you were aware of why it was locked.

We all love wrestling. Isn't that what this forum is for? Looks like almost every thread you've ever started has been locked. Maybe it's you. If the response was childish, why would you want to respond to it? Marino is one of the best members on these boards. He contributes good discussion, funny jokes, and great memes. To call him useless is beyond ridiculous. It doesn't matter how long you've been posting here. Some of the funniest members only joined in the last few years. Whereas you've been here for 15 years, and I have no idea who you are. |

If you've actually read my previous threads and posts you would see I didn't break any rules. I should be able to reply to people replying to my posts, a lot of people disagreed and agreed with me, but I didn't have a chance to respond to many of them, because the same mod locked the threads ending all discussion. Apparently any discussion that's not favorable to Kofi and Becky Lynch gets you in trouble, here. Last, I don't know who you are either. Doesn't really matter to me to get to know all the users on a single message board. Especially when there's so many new accounts that post tens of thousands of irrelevant posts a year. |

Marino has a job to do and rules to follow. If he feels a thread broke those rules then he did what he had to do. It’s not personal and half the time it’s not even the OPs fault.

I applaud Chicago for locking All of the old Mattel threads so they aren't bumped. At least I think it was him who locked them |

Way too many threads are locked here. If personal insults aren't being thrown around, it should be left alone. This forum is waaayyy less active than it was 4 or 5 years ago. Let people debate things.
