  • I occasionally make threads, and usually there's no problem with them getting closed or moved except when someone decides to post in them three or four months later.

    I really try to avoid having them locked if at all possible.

  • It happens to me, once in a rather long while. Sometimes whenever I just post a thread and logout, I always get nervous and jittery because I don't know whether I might have done something wrong. Especially if its nighttime, I get a serious dose of insomnia, like real serious (normal insomnia+added stress insomnia=bad bad bad :x) I don't post threads often, so I don't have such issues. I don't really care if its merged or moved. Usually I'll be like "Oh why didn't I think of that place to put it?" or "Dang, I didn't see that thread." It's embarrassing of course, cos I don't wanna look like a newbie and all. x3

    Here: No, considering that the only thread that I've made here was my welcome thread O.o
    Other forums: In the past, I've had a few locked threads (around 7 across several other forums), but none of them were moved nor deleted.

    Either way, I don't really mind what happens to my threads.

  • I don't believe I've ever had any threads of mine locked (Threads being closed due to sheer size doesn't count, as was the case with a couple of DCC threads). Maybe one or two moved way back in my n00b days perhaps, but to be honest it's not a big deal really.

    Generally I am careful about things. I don't start threads very often, and when I do I make damn sure I'm not starting a duplicate of anything still alive.

  • In all my time here I think that I can recall a single thread that I created that was locked. It was actually a birthday thread, but the how and why of its locking is ancient history not worth dredging up. Other than that, I've always been very rule-oriented, thoughtful in thread creation, and even now it's my hope never to create unnecessary work for the staff. I moved and locked enough threads in my day to know that it can be a pain, heh.

  • If it gets locked or something I might get mad at first until I realize that the mod was completely right and it should have been locked.

    Moved doesn't make me feel anything. But to prevent it I will post in the "where do I post this" thread if it's something that could go in two places.

    I rarely get my threads locked nowadays and same with moved. But I'd say out of the two, my threads get moved more :<

    It dosent happen to me much because I dont make alot of threads, thats one of the reasons why I suppose. Sometimes, I have an idea for a good thread but am afraid the mods wont like it so I end up not making the thread at all. Its kinda sad.

  • I can't even remember having a thread locked / moved unless I asked the moderator. In graphics and photography, I asked for old galleries or shops to be closed, but that doesn't really count.

    But yeah, I wouldn't really want it to happen, bit paranoid like others have said, but if it happened, I'd probably just shrug it off, especially moving them. But yeah.
