Why Was My Climate Change Thread Locked?

Sort:
AbyssalSludge

I'm sure nobody breached TOS, the thread received no warning, and the thread was locked without explanation.

Link of thread, please?

@AbyssalSludge. Up to p 53 words via your link. The weblink “last” button doesn’t work page goes completely white. Makes me wonder what was written on p 54!

Bad luck.

No doubt one or more of the usual suspects making complaints to help and support about threads they don't like.

AbyssalSludge

Still no response by the mods.

87 is probably right. It's probably someone that didn't like the topic. And if they are unable to throw a fit in the topic itself, they figure trying to get it locked is justified.

AbyssalSludge

Still waiting for a response by the mods. The other threads get answered in under an hour. Why not mine?

AbyssalSludge

No response in 13 hours. It is like the mods purposefully ignore this thread. They probably do.

Where do I find the email link?

AbyssalSludge

Ok, thanks.

Someone with whom you disagree with, but is honest, is always a lot more credible (and pleasant) than someone you agree with but happens to be dishonest.

And sometimes you find someone who hits all three targets. Dishonest, not credible, and; unpleasant. Those are the people that are not worth engaging at all.

Not even an answer from @Martin_Stahl. The same thing was happening with Endgame's thread on his thread getting deleted.

This is a chess site. A thread titled "Climate change is a hoax" is offtopic trolling (not to mention that it's dumb).

I'm glad that there's one moderator who's willing to do what needs to be done.

It's called Off Topic for a reason.

Wasn't a troll.

(not to mention that it's dumb).

If you read the first post there is a disclaimer saying I do not believe it is a hoax and why I named it that.

I'm glad that there's one moderator who's willing to do what needs to be done.

Just go to the global warming thread and see how much insulting has gone on there, as well as breaches of TOS.

I do not really care what you say. You obviously have nothing useful to bring to this thread so I suggest you leave.

I think that it's possible that climate change is something that could possibly affect every single chess player on earth. So while the topic might not be as thrilling as "Why is the donkey called a knight" it still affects a lot of chess players. So maybe instead of saying it's "dumb" maybe just say it's uninteresting to you.
