sometimes mods will post in threads before they get locked but often times they won't.

mmmmm, shovelware..tasty..

maybe they lock threads where they feel trolling is going on or where the discussion will get out of hand or bashing or organizations will happen????

^^

but that happens on like 80% of all threads, yet only a few actually get locked.

like my "im drunk" thread. im not really surprised it got locked, but just a typed reason from a mod would have been nice. i think some people are a little too sensitive and lock based on personal values and not on actual content.

Because the truth hurts.

This is a pretty pointless thread

I've seen threads get locked by Mods where ioi unlocks it right after.

Mods go too far, just because a thread isn't crash to hot them is no reason to lock it.

I hope a mod locks this thread and not say a thing.

^hehe. My hope as well.

And on the negative Brawl review getting locked. I am pretty sure it's because the review was just a user on GameFAQs, and not a professional review like you'd be expecting after seeing the title and OP.
