Why is the 'So do Celtic really need Rangers at all' thread locked?

bobbysands81

Seeing as there is no Mod note was it locked by the author?

Anyone know?

Noticed that myself.
Thought it was merged into the Celtic thread.

Expecting a ticking off now from the mods for answering the Op

Thought it was a fair question for someone to ask that doesn't really follow either team. The question would be lost in either super thread.

Nothing controversial in the thread either so I assume the op locked it.

Only mods and admins can lock threads.

Don't know why it was locked. I think its bad form to lock it without so much as a note stating the reason.

The Chelsea/Villa thread, as an example, was pushing the charter far more then this one, that thread got a warning and the celtic one simply locked. Why?

I'm guessing because that was a match day thread.

No reason why the Celtic thing should be outside superthread.

This, all it looks like to me is a thread to bait Rangers fans into having an argument.

Starts off with we don't need Rangers, next thing a Rangers fan comes back with a bit of the club's history and then we get this 'newco' shite.

Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not advocating the Chelsea/Villa thread being locked, my point was that it was pushing the boundaries of the rules far closer then the celtic one.

The effects of rangers demise on Scottish football was speculated on heavily, and personally I feel it merits its own thread. Why not merge it as oppose to lock it if that how the mods feel?

Its probably locked while they discuss it?

Genuinely don't think it was a thread to bait, it was a genuine topic worthy of discussion.

The newco ****e is inevitable given the slant Rangers fans have taken on it relative to the fans of every other Scottish club

Possibly, but it was amicable, it certainly hadn't descended into a farce as many others do

He was out all night after Ireland won and has about 20 pints in him. I'd be locked too in fairness after that.

I don't know why it was locked as I wasn't following it or dealing with it. If you have an issue with moderation or have a question to ask, you PM the mods. You don't start a thread asking why in the forum.
