Deleting my Comments on Locked Posts

What I find extremely agregious and annoying on this (so called) community forum, is the seemingly entirely arbriartry ability of Admin? (presumably) to lock posts on a whim. 

 

I have been dsicussing a subject which has in no way/shape/form been resolved - despite two answers having been flagged as "solved" (incorrectly), and now the post has been locked - zero notice or reason, just fully locked so no one can reply or post answers any more. 

 

Not only is this entirely counter to the whole concept of a forum - you do not just silence people at a forum, it is also a totally redundant approach when indeed solutions that get flagged as correct are not actually correct. 

 

If you are arbritrality locking posts, I want to remove my contributions and comments on that entire post. Please advise how I do that.

    you can't.  even admins can't delete messages (though we can move them where they're not publically visible).

     

    what's the link to the thread you're discussing?

    @LinSims, thank you.

     

    @NathanOdellin, it looks to me like many of your posts are relevant and helpful.  they just appear (to me) to become less helpful when you're berating microsoft.  which is relevant, but they're not particularly helpful on an adobe forum.

     

    as @4953495and @jane-e suggest, taking those comments to a microsoft forum would be more appropriate and possibly helpful.

     

    imo, keeping your comments (they're mostly useful and violate no forum rules) and locking the thread (because it's tilting more anti-microsoft than constructive, and it's an old thread) are both appropriate.
