So this is a thing now? When did this happen? Who can lock a thread? The thread OP or the administrator? I haven't seen the administrator of this site in years. Is she still around?
Let a pea in the loop.
ETA: I looked at some of the other boards and it looks like the administrator was here in Feb of this year. Good to know.
It also looks like some threads on the other boards have also be locked. I think one was dated 2014, so I guess it has been a thing. Wonder if it has to be done by the administrator?

i don't think i've seen a locked thread on here. maybe i'm missing something but i didn't think that was a thing here. sure, things get heated at times but i've never seen a thread go on lockdown.

I wondered this too. I also thought (probably mistakenly) that there had to be certain criteria met before a thread could be locked. And the author going all Calimero wasn’t one of them. 😉

@bergdorfblonde could you give us some info on how your thread was locked? I have never seen a locked thread here.

I was surprised as well. And my surprise was 2 fold. One, that we even could lock threads---and more so if we are able to lock them on our own. And two, that anyone would opt to lock a thread except for admin, because locking a thread on Peas seems like sounding an alarm for everyone to go read it---just like wiping out the subject line, or writing "deleted" or "closed" in the subject line or anything else along those lines that people have tried in the past.  I previously thought of locking a thread as something an admin would do if they needed to tell a board something, but didn't wish to open the floor (in that particular post) for a long conversation. They just wanted to be able to say whatever needed to be said with the distraction of responses. I never knew it was something that could be done on any old thread.  |

WOW I’m shocked to see a locked thread.
It wasn’t even that bad. What’s up with that ?
Admin might get really busy if that thread is all it takes to ask for it to be locked.

According to Google, an Admin or Moderator are the only people who can lock a thread on Pro Boards. |

I remember when my niece was young, maybe 6 or 7, we used to call her Calimero because she was always complaining about how unfair life was. Forty-three years later she still remembers the injustice of being called that! 🤣 |

I must say, I'm not a fan of locked threads. Is this going to be a thing now? I've seen worse treatment of peas, in much longer threads, that were never locked. Or is it only going to be for special peas?

Especially since that thread was not that harsh or anywhere near the level of pile in that has been seen and ignored before. Heck, I don’t even think it was a pile on, just a bunch of people being realistic about what her expectations should be. It definitely seems like special treatment because of who requested it. Do we have mods or just admin? |

I would be very surprised that admin would lock a thread, unless there was like some sort of threat, or violence. She’s pretty hands off.

The thread would not link for me, but the title of the thread was: “Just when you think you have it all together……………..” Currently towards the top of page 2. |

Or is it only going to be for special peas? I agree - I think it was completely inappropriate to lock that thread based on publicly available information. If there was additional posts that were deleted perhaps my opinion would change, but right now I see absolutely no reason why the thread was locked admin - perhaps you can clarify on why the thread was locked. |

Yea, not a fan.
No one was even mean or harsh on that thread.
Kinda ridiculous when compared to some of the other stuff.
We’re adults. If you don’t like the way a thread is going, stop checking it.

Admin lets this board exist and leaves us alone. If she felt like she needed to lock a thread to protect someone else's peace or her own, I'm not questioning that.

Threads have been locked on here since the dawn of time. If you go to the Home button, then Welcome to 2Peas Refugees, you will see every thread except the Introduce Yourself thread is locked (which makes sense for those, because they were information threads only, not discussion threads).
I've just not seen it happen out in the wild, so to speak.

Nothing that revealed anyones true name, etc. TLDR: The OP posted about how her car wouldn't start and how she was going to demand a car dealership tow her for free and fix it for free or plaster their social media with a bad review. The OP didn't like that people were calling her out on her entitled behavior by using her own words, the OP played the widow card, and then practically called Peas liars who were just reposting what she had said. |
