Maybe a mod will pick this up and answer it for me. I’m a Newbie, just signed on this a.m. My first thread got closed kinda early, other posts around it were still open. Anyway, I went back to the board to thank those nice folks who were quick enough to respond to my initial question and that post got closed immediately!.I don’t know if i’ve done something wrong or not done something I should have or what. Could someone enlighten me?
Just in case this one gets hammered as well, I want to thank polycarp earylout Zsofia Eva Luna andJohnnie LA . I still need more info but what I got was Great!
If this thread is the one you’re referring to, it still seems to be open. If there was another one that was closed and deleted or something, it could have been for any of a number of reasons.
The only other thread you have is thsi one, which is also still open.
Perhaps you are having some kind of browser problem, or perhaps you don’t know what indicates whether a thread has been closed or not?
I think you may be mistaking the closed envelope icon for a locked thread. The closed envelope just means that there are no new posts. If the envelope has a little padlock over it, then the thread has been closed and locked. But even then, it’s still readable.
The best way to figure out how things work around here is to read the FAQs and stickies in About This Message Board . That should answer most of your questions.
Oh, and welcome to the SDMB. 
Your original thread is still open, as is your A Newbie Thank You thread (in which I have made some observations).
I cannot find any thread of yours that has been closed or moved (yet).

Veiled threat? :dubious:
CMA (in case some other Mod closes or moves one of them. 
Bah, don’t give the guy false hope. You haven’t really arrived until you’ve had a thread locked.
Welcome to the SDMB gommsn
Ah! Slooooooowly the light comes on! Yeah, I see what you mean. I really do have a lot to learn.
Damn! It was so simple just lurking. And a little naughty too! :smack:
Well Good Lord, not here man! gommsn, I read the linked threads and you’re way too nice and polite for the pit. Run! Quick, get out of here before (shudder) they spot you! I’ll see you in GQ, MPSIMS, and IMHO. And welcome to the SDMB.
Yeah, there it is! That damn Canuk thing again. Well, you just wait! Don’t piss us off too often! We’ll…We’ll,Well, you just wait!!!
Thank You :dubious:
Or perhaps I don’t know what the hell I’m doing! However, collectively you are all getting me sorted out.
See how I did that? Ten minutes I was a raving lunatic.
We’ll unleash our master secret plan, naturally.
Shhhh, they can’t know about it.
Welcome to the boards! smooch Have you been through… the initiation… yet?
Can’t a thread go five minutes in this forum anymore without someone flirting? Jesus, this place is my only respite from the mutual masturabation festivals in MPSIMS - and Kythereia, get a bloody room, for God’s sake.
INITIATION!!! For Gods Sake!!! I,m a newbie!!! Can’t you wait till my hands stop shaking!!!
Oh, andCase Sensitive , that thing you’ve got going over in MPSIMS? Sounds interesting!!!
Nothing I’ve got going, thank you: start a “Hi, I’m new here” thread over there, which is the usual place to introduce yourself, and give it five replies before the Goddess Of Hallmark Cards turns up slobbering goo and trailing lame “goat” jokes which should have been quietly shot a long time ago. Hello, by the way.
Wow. Didn’t realize I personally offended you somehow with how I act around here… exactly why do you have a problem with it?
I thought he made it quite clear.
It Is The Flirting. The unnecessary smooch.
Geez, I didn’t realize it bothered any of you that much.
I try to adopt this sort of thing as a means of making myself individual on the boards–standing out in some way. Not much else about my posts is different from any other Doper around here. But I can see where it gets to be going overboard.
Flirting and smooching in moderation, then?
I’ll be honest and say that for me your means of making yourself individual on the board is liable to induce vomiting. Keep it out of the Pit - at least in MPSIMS I know which threads to avoid, but when I click on what seems to be an innocent misplaced thread by a new poster and find yet another of your girly-scrawl-written-in-pink-ink-with-smilies-dotting-the-i’s posts littering the place, it’s time for a quiet corner and a bucket.
