Was there an edict from OCDO given to you to close threads? It seems more threads are closed now than ever before. Some are closed for seemingly no good reason.

They get a commission for each thread closed?

No edict, no bonus; or, they didn't tell me about it!
There is a secret bounty on the Q, though. Oh, rats, I wasn't supposed to say.....:lol:
There ya go. No need to keep this thread open any longer, lets lock this thing down.
Asked & answered; but I'm open to opposing points of view.
Which thread didn't deserve to be closed, and why?
Seriously, lets have a dialog; I'm listening.

I dont see why most of the locked threads are locked. Conversations evolve. Just because we are not talking about the original topic doesnt mean people were not still talking. It has become a joke. Why cant a thread just die because people quit posting?
BTW, I dont think you (shadow bear) are the one locking all the threads, but maybe you are?
The New to Michigan thread died a pretty quick death too...the OP barely had a chance to follow up with questions.
TheQ said:He's upset he's banned there so therefore it isn't a good place:question:
Just guessing.

Seriously? It started when TheQ and you started your childlish little pot-shots at Stainless. Just ignore him.
It started with TheQ's childishness and spiralled down from there. Had he not posted what he did perhaps the thread would still be open but he just can't stop himself.

My personal opinion, I have no problem with OT subjects, but they should be labeled as such, that way, everyone will know the thread is OT, and can ignore it if they wish. That's the way it's been done on other forums I've been on. And I myself have no problem with it being done that way.One of my favorite things about OCDO was that we could go OT now and then without threads being locked all the time, but things were getting out of hand. They decided to crack down on things here. I suspect that it will all level off after a bit.

Best recent example is the Neighborhood Watch thread. It was humming along, Dr Todd made a comment about the cost of war..and bam! It's locked. There wasn't any personal attacks or nastiness I saw and yet it was closed. I PM'd him to ask why it was locked, he replied he didn't know why and reopened it. A few posts later it was locked "by special request".

So it's my fault..thanks for clearing that up. Oh, wait a minute..you and stainless aren't Mods so I guess you answering a question I specifically posed to the Mods is really a waste of bandwidth. How about we wait for them to tell us the reason for all the locks( maybe it is me!).
