noticed this on this thread today

http://community.ebay.com.au/topic/Selling/Buyer-Ruinging-Seller/500163725?start=40

since when did a pink come into a topic and lock it down?

don't think I have seen that on these boards before?:|

[k1ooo-slr-sales]

yeah, I have, the coffee machine!

[cuddles_01au]

its not unusual at all just perhaps odd on that board but the  community board  often ends up with a locked thread if its veered off topic too much or has been reported a lot etc they usually leave the thread but lock it

[patchoo78]

They usually do it when the thread has relevant information in it but it's gone out of control.. I've seen it happen a couple of times..

There is another locked one over DB, My daughter is marrying a Japanese or something, when the thread gets nasty or out of hand or too many of the posts are reported, it gets locked by the mods and they decide whether is it reinstated or removed all together.

They also get to choose who else gets a hefty slap for having any off topic or inter whatever spats within the thread.

Waiting waiting 😉

BTW Putney - you may be best to SR as I think it is a no no to link to locked threads

This is the second locked thread within a week that I have seen.

On both occasions they had gone way off topic and the spats were getting very personal. On at least one of them there were slaps issued AFTER the thread had been locked.

Some even got a little holiday.;-)

The author seems to be one of the new members who has recently opened wind up threads so if it wasn't taken seriously it isn't surprising it has ended badly. I am fed up with this particular newbie and I hope he/she has given up.

Oh dear, you too?

I did know of one holiday, but plenty of slaps.
