Question

Why are threads locked so fast?

In Photoshop Windows there was a thread called "Can't install Adobe Photoshop elements 4 anymore. Why?"

The OP make comments concerning using pirated software and some people, including myself, gave our opinions as to the rights and wrongs of using such.  After only eight replies, the thread was locked.  No profanity, no threats, no harsh words, no repeating messages  Seems rather quick on the trigger to me.  Just wondering why.

    This topic has been closed for replies.

    Wouldn't you think it was because of the Discussion on Pirated software. Its illegal, Software companies have a low tolerance for such.

    in fact just us talking about it could cause the discussion to be locked. Besides there is atendence for malicious code being pirated software reeking havok on you machine.

    If I can only afford a pirated version of software. I just do without until I ca get the real thing.

    There should always be a short message from the moderator explaining why the thread has been locked.

    John,

    I agree.  If we are to be punished we should be told what we did wrong.

    Sorry, no points, I don't believe in them.
