some of the forums are been locked. how they are getting locked. the people who are locking please specify the reason as a last post so that we will know where we went wrong in the discussion
It has been made clear again and again that publishing links to your articles and blogs is NOT ALLOWED. I have made the reason clear in one link wherein I have mentioned the reason. As a senior member, you could have pointed this out to Deepak!
The threads are not locked always for something that could go wrong. In that event the post would be deleted and not just locked. When a thread is too long or the matter is no longer relevant, that is locked.
The administration or Maverick lock. Maverick may answer better.
Are there any other reasons to lock the forum. In this boddunan website who can lock the forum kalyani and maverick and any more. can you please list them

Sasikanth has explained it well here! These are the most common reasons for topics getting locked. Another reason can also be the topic is very old and has no relevance whatsoever to present time and yet, there are users who will revive those threads with useless replies. In that case too, we may lock the topic.
Also, I request you all again, that when you notice any such things happening, please use the Report button below the post. That way, a mail will be sent to all moderators and admin, and it can be taken care of.
[quote]Oh thank you kalyani for in detail explanation. Now I understood completely about the forum locking [/quote]
You are welcome Sarala! Usually reason is given when a topic is locked, but sometimes it may be skipped. Will definitely try to give reasons henceforth so all understand!
