What gets a thread locked?

I just saw a thread about aliens and telepathy and I wanted to participate but it got locked ASAP. I also posted a thread a while back about evolution that got locked. I am just curious what gets a thread locked. I’d love to ask if anyone believes in aliens out in the universe or if they believe in Ancient Aliens visiting our planet but I am afraid of it getting locked.

Just curious.

They lock threads where the posters are showing too much ankle. I think they’re trying to make it harder for me to bite people.

Rawr-r-r-rats.

This is suppose to be a safe space so a lot of interesting fun stuff gets censored and locked because it might trigger someone, or deemed by the mods as too controversial. In many cases they are playing to the lowest common denominator.

You gotta go PM, my friend. It’s way more open in those parts…

I wasn’t going answer this post because trying to explain every reason for a thread being locked takes some time, but since I specifically asked about this type of thread recently, I will.

If the person is speculating about a particular unusual belief being real and wanting a discussion, it is closed. If they are asking for help with their delusion, it can remain open. So a thread where a person is speculating on alien telepathy and asking for others opinions, such as the one you are referring to, would be closed.
