I put a new topic here so my student could post there I deas in the topic called what is wrong with the new oil waggon and some came along locked before any of my student got a chance to put their post in it and I was very upset about this . there should be be done by the person who runs this forum and just anybody can do it. the person who did this is
Eis_os and my group are very mad right now.

Not everybody can do that, only moderators and admins. If you feel the topic shouldn't have been locked contact the mod who closed it, eis_os in this case.

This was my reduced pm answer, before I could read this topic...
Yes, but we already had a discussion about it.
Was closed by spaceman-spiff

We have an open topic about how grf files should be handled in general.

Your post only said you are upset and asking why it happens.
The only answers what you can get is because copyright problems...

And your tile clearly says:

what is the problem with new oil tranker railcar

And the answer is already two post below discussed in the original thread,
MB doesn't allowed it and requested to remove it.

I can open it, but you have to give me a good reason and a proper subject line about what you want with your post.

[eis_os]

It wouldn't had locked when you clearly showed what you want to do.

Like that in the message body:
Post your reasons why you think the oil tanker has to be released.
or I want to start a discussion about it...

We have A LOT splitted topics across the board about the same subject,
I will open it now, but when I see it will go offtopic, or you get rude I will close it again...

[spaceman-spiff]

Yes, I locked that topic because it had no reason anymore
The file was removed at the request of Michael Blunck
So why leave it open ?

We are very mad, oh come on, lighten up a bit, this is just a forum about a game, if I feel topics go the wrong way then I can close them
