I demand to know, I had a thread a few minutes ago entitled Spamming trying to set a good example for members. Although I find InetheZone thinking it was venting and next thing I know it was locked. This was a Guide like most other thread in the newcomers forum, though I believe mine had some important to point out. Please unlock my thread.

Its becasue your guide wasn't really necessary, there wer plenty of stickies and such explaining those things you pointed out already.

Southpark, stop spamming.

Drognar, it's probably not a good idea to make a new thread about this. Ask a moderator for help, or maybe it was posted in the wrong forums.

South Park don't spam you probably didn't even read it.

Plokkey, that may be so but plenty of other people have gotten away with the exact same thing without getting a big lock on their thread.

Probably because there are already some guides and threads explaining about spamming, and not to do it, plus the rules and guidelines. Plus, you should have asked a mod about this, not made a whole new thread.

It was a guide for how to set a good example.

I would but I don't know which mod locked it. I put a good deal of effort into that thread and locking it without a good reason is just cruel.

Oh, sorry. Usually I give explanations when I lock a thread. That forum is for newcomers and all of these guides that keep appearing are going to wash down the usefulness of the forum itself.
The rules for spam and commenting are clearly outlined there and through the help section of the site. So while these guides are well-intended they actually overload the newbies with more information than they can handle.
If you have any more questions, you can contact me on my profile, Drognar.

It was probably because there are too many guides..
