It wasn't even 6 hours before you locked my thread, and I hope you can give it at least a 12 hour "shelf life" so to speak before deciding it's not worthy of some honest, productive answers. If it's still not getting attention then I do think you're right that it should be locked, but I feel you never gave it the chance. Thanks in advance cookie. -Th!nkPi

seems rather suspicious that you're only complaining about the closing of your thread. I don't see you protesting for others. I also thank you for signing off your message with your username, else I would never know who sent it to me.

I'm just following the rules cookie. As for the signature, I signed off as a show of respect and formality. You could also say it's a habit I don't think twice about. I love Smogon and appreciate the work staff puts into it. I couldn't be any more transparent right now if I turned into optical grade glass and hit you in the face. I'm just following the rules.

"If your post or thread is edited, locked, or deleted by a moderator, do not remake it. Also, do not make a thread asking why your thread was edited, locked or deleted. It was altered for a reason, and if you disagree you can discuss that with the moderator in question, either by posting on their profile or PMing them."

All I am saying is that you never complain about other threads being closed, what's so special about yours? I think you might be biased.

As I explained in my post, the topic did not stimulate discussion. Keeping the thread open would almost definitely not have received any decent replies.

It's not my responsibility to complain for other people's threads. If the original poster wants a thread reopened he or she needs to discuss it with the moderator who locked it.

You did explain that the topic would not stimulate discussion, but I'm only pointing out that you locked a topic that only existed from 3am-8am or so. I showed you evidence of a thread that existed longer and received decent replies and a thread that was posted at a different time of day with significantly different results.
