Can you not just accept, and move on, that there are times, when for whatever reason(s), explanations as to why some moderation actions have been taken are not made public.
Really it would appear to be only you that has a wasp in your bonnet about this.

You sound like Trump... "No one even cares about seeing my tax returns" ...so we never see the evidence of massive and illegal conflicts of interest, and collusion with an enemy dictator.
In this age of cover-ups and secret dealings of those in power, we are subjected to the same lack of transparency on Lush? This is the kind of abuse of power that disillusions and disgruntles the average person towards those in 'unquestioned' power.
Count my bonnet as wasped too!
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
If someone would JUST CALL BATMAN already, we can get the Joker out of the Whitehouse...
Quote by Milik_the_RedOh i agree it was not done to protect Trump, it always cause's a bashing by the left..So great call for closing it.........( i hope my spelling was correct)...............Hello Simmer nice to see you as always
I have no idea why it was locked, but as a former mod, I can say if it was, there was a good reason for it. These things are never done arbitrarily. And it certainly wasn't done to protect Trump.
The mods have far more to do than to defend themselves against this sort of thing, so if it was locked, it was a decision made or backed at the highest levels, and it was done after some discussion. Best leave it alone and move on, IMHO

This is now your second, if not third thread on this topic, albeit the last one was because a thread had been deleted:
https://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_postst53334_Some-info-when-threads-are-deleted-please.aspx
I recall another one but I cannot immediately find it which is a shame because that one got some responses which I believe were very appropriate. The thread above got no posts.

are we to assume that this topic in now off the table for anymore discussions? It bothers my OCD because the other threads are 'February fast approaches' and "January fast approaches' and 'Immigration, the elephant in the room,' but no specific "Why Trump is not my cuppa tea" thread... **

This site runs on user generated content. The stories are most important of course, but the forums are user generated content as well. Content for which people come here. Users invest time, and some even money, in this site. If there's a good reason to close a thread it should be fairly easy to state the reason, right? Some transparency might even take away the perceived notion of censorship that seems to plague the forums every now and then.
A statement as to why a thread is closed can also be a good moment to again mark the boundaries of what is and what isn't allowed. That does not work if people have to guess for the reason.
Let me know if you find that other thread.

No, he can't. Just as he can't let shit go without having the last word so you are correct about that wasp... because having a bee in his bonnet isn't nasty enough (wasps are much more dangerous creatures as well.)

LOL. You really don't see it when you do it yourself, do you?

The thread "Does the new American President seem mentally ill to you?" was locked earlier today, without any warnings beforehand or a note stating why. Can we please get some info as to why this thread was locked? Thx.
