It seems disagreement with the moderators leads to a closed thread...again.
Regardless of whether a topic has been discussed, most new members don't search the archives for reference, they read the new threads and comment appropriately. Even if they did, planned obsolescence would most likely be outdated anyway. The word forum means exchanging ideas and views on a particular issue, and in this case MFD photography. By locking threads, it seems to imply that there's more to this issue...
By regulating comment conducted in a respectful manner diminishes the validity of a forum for objective opinion. This is not the first time a MFD thread has been closed if you disagree with the moderators viewpoint, and this mostly applies to this particular section. Some are more emotional about their MFD investment - and rightfully so, but closing a thread is not effective, and certainly not objective, and leaves plenty of room for debate...
P.S.
I would strongly encourage this forum to be open about criticism about MFD because it might guide MFD companies, (and not just advertisers) to effectively gauge and consider this to be more like a focus group that's an integral segment of this profession.
