why is a thread locked

[trevone64]

why has my thread been locked can someone tell me please

[SeanMacGabhann]

Ther was a link at the end of the locked thread I believe

That link points to the original thread you started on the same subject

So no need for two threads on the same subject, hence first one locked

[LadyNorwood]

I posted a thread about Drops of Hope which was then locked (I'm actually in West Dulwich so didn't know there had already been a thread about this) - I then posted an apology explaining my confusion but this wasn't posted, so people are going to think I'm a fool - maybe I am, was just trying to be helpful...

[SeanMacGabhann]

No problem lady nor wood. But perhaps the original thread was the place for an apology, rather than start another thread to apologise for starting an unnecessary thread ?

Not that an apology is needed i would suggest

[LadyNorwood]

Sean - the thread is locked, ergo I am unable to post an apology......

[SeanMacGabhann]

Ah - maybe I wasn't clear

the original thread, meaning the one that isn't locked

which you can find here

Why did the Nunhead thread get locked - after announcing it had been deleted in a new thread?

Uh, please expand? When/where was it announced that it had been deleted in a new thread?

[cate]

Apologies, the title was changed/shortened and so it looked like a new thread.

[LadyNorwood]

re drops of hope - there seems to be a whole new thread on this - not locked tho!!

[SeanMacGabhann]

is there? I've noticed the original has been posted on again which takes it back to the top but I've not seen a new one

Dear..oh dear..I joined EDF today, and already I'm getting a queasy feeling about it all. All this talk about Moderators closing down perfectly legitimate postings, talk of vidictive moderators, etc. etc? All I want to do is sell the odd item I wish to dispose, maybe even give away my overly-big wardrobe for free (collect only!), and keep my nose clean..without riling people up! Unfortunately, moderators are only human, subject to the same human emotions and frailties like the rest of us. But the one most powerful thing they have over us mere mortals..is the power of that finger that will hit the relegate to limbo button anyone of us that tries to step out of line..for whatever reason..haha!
