Why are my theads locked?

I guess you exceeded the 80 byte limit and further posts have been filtered.

There must be a reason for a thread lock, you're not just seeing it like that appearing for anything, which the first possible cause had been suggested from the first reply you got, other reasons could be that you do not adhere strictly on the required posting pattern, repeated thread, spamming or even trying to include broken sensitive contents or links, while the last aspect that might have caused this is when you have duplicate threads.

You are just throwing out a bunch of possible random reasons that could apply for anyone. My threads were locked, I was not provided a notification or a justification.

You can say "Okay maybe you were being racist". But that still doesn't tell me why my threads are locked.

Truth is, only those responsible for locking your threads know the reasons they did. I don't think you'd get an explanation for why it's was locked so the question is, why do you think they locked your thread? Did it violate any rules? As you said, were being unnecessarily racist? Seriously, bruh, maybe you'd need to channel your question to the right people else all you might get are just guesses and speculations.

Moderator of the board usually locks the thread right? Most likely, if a thread was locked maybe because the thread got too long and redundant and there is no more any new valuable information being added. In that case if you want to add more to your thread, just make a new one.

Take it easy my friend, he had to throw those random possibilities which could linger to a thread lock because he does not know the exact offence that may have got the Mod taken such action.
So since he is not the Mod that locked the thread, he can only outline what possibly could cause that. Perhaps he has no clue about the content or contexts of your thread to even justify it.
Maybe next time you should include the thread so others can also see. The forum does not also support the policy that you should be informed or notified about your thread getting locked. So either first replier and second replier were on point.
Though could be some other reasons.

Io, why did you ignore this first response to your post. Funny enough the post got merited. I also understand the answer and how it related to the question in OP. I seem confused and more confused because OP ignored that very answer.

Meanwhile, mods lock thread if any of the below happens;
1. The thread is becoming a spam feast
2. Some trolls trying to hijack the thread
3. The thread is exhaustably discussed.
4. The thread is a duplicate of an existing thread in context.
There could also be other reasons.

Your post could be seen as spam or often being repeated.
It will be better to make some search about that particular topic you want to post here on the forum before you can go ahead creating that topic, but nowadays you would see new users who just signed up the next he will go ahead creating topic to ask question without them making use of the search button to know whether someone has already created similar topics or post.

They have ran their full course and can be perceived that nothing meaningful Would said again there
Usually done to prevent spam.

Not to mention most of your threads are quite related So a few could be locked so you can focus more on specific while preventing spam.

Edit : Older posts were not locked which affirm the theory that you have created threads that are quite similar
And could have been posted on a thread you created earlier.

The reason is pretty simple. I just looked through a couple of your threads, and it's quite clear that you keep posting/complaining about the same thing over and over again. Be grateful that the threads were not even deleted because in certain cases, they just get deleted.

And it's so funny that you keep complaining about censorship in this forum, yet you keep posting here ::)
Start logging into your forum more frequently already.

Or as I said to him in another thread, don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out.

It's very simple why my threads were locked.

Doesn't matter where on the internet you go, Twitter, YouTube, Nostr. If you talk about bitcoin, the subject of spam and core's op_return nuking a filter comes up.

But here on the msin forum? Almost crickets. I have been on this forum for years. Never had a post deleted or locked, of moved to an other section.

But as soon as I start talking about core being compromised, or spam, my thread gets moved to an obscure section nobody reads. Or zi get banned for a week, or my lost gets deleted.

Some of us are working on a soft fork, that's a pretty big deal. Yet some admobs on this forum really don',t want you to learn too much about it.

I didn't reply to this retarded post because it's a retarded post. There is nothing to reply.

Greg Maxwell is a disgrace to the bitcoin community.

BTW, one of the threads I created was not locked. It's the only one that didn't directly, at least on the surface, have anything to do with the slam war  

These are all your topics and only the 4 that I marked with red arrows are the ones that are locked while all the topics in the green rectangle are pretty much on the same subject with more or less similar content, so they can all be considered duplicates and what you are doing to be considered spamming, hence the reason why they got locked...
Something you repeated in the Meta board as well (the 2 topics on top).

If you had stuck to one or two topics, and kept the discussions clean there your 4 topics would have never gotten locked.

Oh! Very good!
Now do all the ones that were moved from the Bitcoin discussion section to a far less visible section of the forum.
After that, you can do all the threads and posts that were deleted.
Than ask yourself why I was gone, did not reply to my own threads for a full 7 days.

If you are talking about this thread below

Then it was moved to the appropriate board because the discussion isn't really about Bitcoin
But advertising a platform, a service.


Also this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5563910.msg65984362#msg65984362
Which was talking about Bitcoin magazine and not really a Bitcoin discussion.

I know you may feel there's a bias about you because of knot
But I'm sure is not as bad as you think.


Off topic. I'm surprised you didn't share about knot 29.2 update.

This your question is somehow confusing. If I got you right, it seems like you are not pleased that some of your posts were moved to "a less visible board". Sorry, this is something not personal and has nothing to do with visibility. If you have observed carefully, you would realise that this forum values organisation more than anything else. Every topic here have their boards they best fit in. If the post you created had nothing to do with Bitcoin Discussion, it will be moved to the appropriate board by the moderator. This can happen to anyone. So to prevent this from happening again, ensure that your topics are posted in the relevant boards. You can check the description on each board. Posts which go against the forum rules can also be deleted without any prior notification.

I had already missed you ;)

I'd not 100% agree with the locking, although it's quite clear that there are too many similar threads and that may be a rule violation. I would thus recommend @PepeLapiu to stick to one single thread for that discussion.

I have read more than once where op alleged that there is high level of sensoring in the forum in order to silence him. He complains that his posts are deliberately moved to areas of lower visibility. I never thought such a thing could happen. How did Op come up with such an accusation.

Posts are moved when they are in a wrong board. I don't know why Op is seeing it differently. Users disagreeing with you on certain critical issues doesn't mean you are censored. Take it easy, if it is beneficial to the network, it will be adopted at the right time.

That you're not notified on forum PM after your message thread was locked does not render it not following the die process.

This was not the first of its kind, we have several members that made such complain before now and I can remember some of the reasons for that.

The moderators merged some of their post related topics together, you can imagine that you have two or more threads for a single service you provided, definitely one will be merged with the other being deleted or locked, this is my honest opinion though, I don't know the exact cause of yours being locked.

Their are a lot of reasons why moderators decides to lock a thread and one of it is when you create a thread that is similar to what someone has already created for example I created a thread some time ago in politics and society board about the Christian genocide that is happening in Nigeria and a lot of things concerning the issue was been discussed there and some weeks back someone decided to create similar thread about the Christian genocide how it was not true is the same board and Xal0lex locked the thread because it was similar to the one I created and what he wrote can be written in my thread so there was actually no need creating another thread.

I'll miss you too bud

Feel free to join me on BitcoinKnotsForum.com where we can continue our banter.

You haven't replied to your threads for seven days. Is this because of this problem? Or did you not reply because you had a personal problem? If you didn't reply because of the post being locked then you are wrong because if you had discussed it earlier, you would have got the answer to your problem long ago. Anyway, there are many rules for locking posts and moving them from one place to another. Maybe your posts are not out of the rules due to which the posts can be locked and moved to another place. Many people have explained the reasons for your problem before I posted and you understand why this was done to you.

What I'm telling you is that virtually all my threads and all my posts get a reaction from the mods, and that reaction always ends up as reducing my voice, if not deleting my message completely. But it only happens if I'm talking about the spam war going on right now.

At first they started to move almost all my threads to a different less visible section of the forum. And a lot of my posts on the general discussion were getting deleted.

My phone was left at the repair shop for a week so I didn't have my password and no access to my email on that phone. So during that week, I created a second account (PepeLapiu_2 I think I called it). And I made it public that that account was created temporarily. When I kept exposing core's corruption, both accounts were frozen for a week.

When I came back, all the negative posts on achow pinned thread were deleted, a good 2-3 pages of negative posts. All that remained was 2 positive posts.

Let's see how long the current negative posts remain on there. I was told that achow is doing that, not the admins.

Point being, doesn't matter what's happening, whatever happens always ends up reducing the visibility of my message. And now they don't delete the posts, or threads, or move them somewhere less visible, or block me for a week, they just lock the threads.

You've been on this forum since 2020, you're expected to have known the dos and don't of this forum.Or you expected the moderators to watch and don't take actions toward your duplicate threads.Now let me give you a direct answer to the question you asked on your content,the reason why your thread was locked was as a  result of your duplicate threads,you were lucky that it wasn't even deleted.The forum is against duplicate threads creation,so it's the responsibility of the moderators on each boards to keep the boards clean by deleting and locking threads that has been discussed by the forum members.I see no form of racism here,the issue here is for you to improve on your threads creation.

My question is that, is it all your thread that's locked?... Secondly when your point of views is not quite understandable or is pointless, your thread maybe locked, and if what you are emphasising on has been recently discussed in another thread, it will attract locking the previous thread, and that's why people are been advice to use a search button to verify or check if what they're about to discuss or present to the forum has already been discussed

But most of us ignore most of the important things that will make their post to be relevant, if your post has been consistently locking, that's indication that you have to change your methods of writing, else you will continue to experience locking of your thread, sometimes both deleting of a post and locking of a thread is a part of correction that will make some to advance if correction is been taken.
