Hey,

I recently created a post in the "Off-Topic" forum and I'm pretty sure I followed all of the rules applying to that forum, but my topic was locked after only one post, and that post was deleted. My post wasn't any sort of spam, it was a very legitimate question. Would appreciate if someone would get back to me on why it was locked.

LOL. I'm willing to bet it's because you posted screencaps of porn.

@The_Tree: lucky guess.

For the record though, I've seen nothing wrong with screencaps in the faq. None of my pics were more explict than a yearbook photo. They were only for reference. Any watermarks on the caps are age-gated, i made sure. I may have made a mistake in assuming if age-gating was good enough for most international governments, but it wasn't specifically amended in any rules I have found.

it's definitely because you posted porn screen caps and to add to it you were asking if one of the staff does porn

I did not ask. I possibly implied. Depends on your interpretation. A forum is supposed to be an open discussion. Sorry I bothered. I'll just ask the professional screencaps peeps out there, just figured you would be interested. For the record it was "Rochelle"

Your thread was locked because of the porn screen caps, which are watermarked and therefore advertising a porn site.

In the future, if a thread is locked and a reason isn't given (I thought the reasons were pretty apparent), feel free to PM the mods.

As your question has now been answered, I am locking this thread.
