If a post is closed it means that no one will be able to comment on the post,, and only moderators will be able to change the post in any way. Hope this helps!
Posts get closed for a number of reasons, but trust me, the admin closing the thread will always explain why! Mods do not just close the thread for fun, there is a legit reason behind each closing.
1) The thread contains a topic discussed numerous times before ---- the asker can just do a search on the forum for previous threads discussing the same topic and can find a sufficient answer by doing so.
2) The thread is inappropriate --- it can be getting too heated/intense for the forum, contains bad language, causing fighting and name calling, etc. We have to remember SD is a family friendly forum and people calling each other %$@! and saying F*^$ YOU is certainly not family friendly.
3) The post has absolutely nothing to do with Spanish --- yes, I know we have general discussion category, but if you are asking how to fix your XBOX...
4) The post is just like "hi" --- we have an International Cafe and a chatroom for those people!
Once a thread gets closed, nobody can edit or post or comment or vote. Only mods can do anything with it. If you feel like your thread was closed and you want to justify why it should be re-opened, you can PM the mod that closed your thread. They usually post on it or comment so you can figure out who did it.
If you're referring to your post on "What it the Accept button for", the admin (Yeser007) explained exactly why he closed it.
Please read the forum rules, and you'll see that you should have searched the forum for an answer to any question you want to post before posting it.
It means that one of our Admins decided the post was not good for one or more of a number of reasons.
