Jon Cole Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Why do people lock their own topics here? It makes no sense. It's irritating.
chunkypeanutbutter Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 I've locked a couple of my topics before. One, my Cal-look Beetle, since I've not felt the urge to finish it and just felt it was right to lock it for the time being. The other one I've locked was about legality of doing a commercial model kit in resin since it was answered pretty quickly and accurately. Wonder how long this topic will last before being locked after veering off-course....
Eshaver Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Too many have "Frail" egos here . I have been asked why I seldom post . The answer is simple . Nearly everything I say is taken out of context . Too many want to "Goad me " into a fight and I have the fact is to back up anything I do post . Besides , I don't have time to post my reasons for why I build old annuals or other such ......................

Harry P. Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Why do people lock their own topics here? It makes no sense. It's irritating. My guess: the OP thinks his thread has gone off the rails or has gone off in a direction he doesn't like. Wanna get back at them? Lock this thread.
Rob Hall Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Sometimes the OP locks the thread because the question posed in the topic has been answered and thus the thread's purpose is complete. It is only logical to lock when further discussion would have no purpose.. Edited May 16, 2015 by Rob Hall

bobthehobbyguy Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I've closed topics when my question has been answered. But I've seen people lock threads like a petulant child because they aren't getting the instant attention they wanted.
Guest Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 My reasons from my experience: 1 Trolls 2 Thread goes completely off the rails due to reason number one. 3 Question has been answered. Why leave it open for twenty more responses of the same answer worded differently? To me, that's more irritating than a locked topic. 4 Thread gets combined with a topic from 2007 and buried under humpteen pages. We used to have the option of deleting a thread. If we still had that option, no one would even see a locked topic and it could save on bandwidth.
superbike-shaun Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 I locked a recent thread because I got a great answer and it solved my problem now where's that font when I need it? superbike-shaun
426-Hemi Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 - I tried to lock a topic I was lookin for parts, and I don't see the option in the "edit" screen?????
