Why are some non abusive/trolling threads being rapidly locked?

The “(topic deleted by author)” threads seem to get automatically locked 🔒. If those are the ones your talking about.

Admin is locking and deleting threads that are older to save on space. There are other reasons as well.

I think the thread your referring to is locked because of what @everhopeful said.

If you are referring to threads with no replies longer than seven days, I am locking them as I clean them out of uploads. Its just site maintenance to make sure we always continue to have space.

Anything you need unlocked though, feel free to message me.

Edit: Locking them helps me to keep track of which ones ive cleaned of uploads.

I am keeping the text intact (for the most part) but deleting files
