Well, for one thing it was a double posted Thread. So one of them is going to get locked. And seeing as how the one in the General forum states the following:
((I know crossposting is bad, but I posted this in the Hunter forums and realized it's not really a Hunter question.))
It only makes sense that the one in the Hunter forum was the one to get locked.

If the thread has nothing constructive to contribute, then it will most likely get locked.

Locks on the wowhead forum make no sense sometimes. Especially on the randomness forum...when posts full of randomness get locked? Ok?
Kinda seems like mods have free run on here to do as they please without any sort of supervision.

Randomness is about topics that aren't WoW-related, not pointlessness.
Aye, especially when a thread descends into flame wars... that doesn't need to stay open. That's what happened to the "Play as a Female Character" thread that was up a few days ago; too much flames, not enough discussion by the end.

It was locked because the OP double posted. When I locked it there were no replies, you may have posted as I locked or there was a delay in the lock due to how the site runs.

As mentioned, it may be called Randomness but that doesn't mean create completely random/nonsensical topics, it just means anything other than WoW.

They are supervised by me. If you see behavior you don't like, please contact me directly at feedback@wowhead.com. I'm not omnipotent, and sometimes things will happen that I miss.
