Why do threads get locked for no reason?

I just had a thread I started locked for no reason apart from the fact the mod (zaggy) did not like it? It's not your choice what we talk about in the community? I feel this is unfair, how do you report a mod? Or is this reporting them now?

And you're not allowed to criticize the mods publicly, you might receive a warning for this.

Will be fun if I do get a ... shock horror warning... I'll probably just link this to the mod that delivered the message <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism</a>
And it's called asking other people's opinions bertor, I play ns2 in ns2 i don't ask about the game. I come to the forum to ask people and talk about the game, the ins the outs, if threads are locked, how can opinions and discussions start? seems like all this forum is about is asking people to help contribute ideas to the game or talk about the competitive community.. just a horrible atmosphere to enforce on a community
When you play in someone else's backyard, play by their rules or leave :p

Moreover a forum never was a democracy. The admins/mods/owners decide the topics and the rules. You have freedom of speech, the admins have the freedom to delete/lock/ban you.
there are *plenty* of threads that are critical of performance, gameplay, etc. that don't get locked unless they degenerate in to bashing of other forum members or devs.
My guess is the lock was to prevent the inevitable with the thread you posted.
The mods are trying to keep things civil, not stifle debate

Comedy.
Your initial post was a complaint about moderation. That is an express train to being locked on ANY forum.
This thread is a complaint about moderation as well.
This forum is not a public place, it is private. As such the owners are free to restrict conversation in anyway they choose.
I expect this thread will be locked as well.
We <b>do </b>get to decide.
Again, <b>help</b> UWE, don't simply complain endlessly, these aren't the bnet forums.
edit: There is a Report button on every post: <img src="http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/style_images/tsa/p_report.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />, use this for reporting spam, flaming, mods or anything of relevance.
