I don't have a problem with the action NT took regarding my post, as I agree there were problems with it. I hadn't read the sticky before posting, and assumed it didn't apply to anything I would post.

After reading it, the list of things that can cause temporary bans or threads to be locked or deleted is excessive and vague. There is a lot of crap posted in OOT, and the moderators need to be active and take strong action.

However, the sticky says you can be temp banned for asking for relationship advice or asking something you could find out on google. It seems to me that posts like that often generate interesting discussion, and the poster may not realize he did something banworthy.

It seems like the post locked here was an interesting topic to discuss. It would be fine to lock the thread if the discussion got out of hand, but not initially.
