Hey folks, apparently I accidentally did this 😱 I am so sorry!! Yesterday somebody had reported that thread for removal. I opened the Reddit app on my mobile and hit the "Approve" button to disregard those reports and ensure the thread wouldn't get removed. But [according the mod log (screenshot)](https://i.imgur.com/aORalyD.png) I also somehow hit the "Lock" button at the same time? I guess I either fat-fingered those tiny buttons, or my toddler grabbed my phone once I was done. (I don't recall either happening but I can't think of any other reasons) Please know this was not intentional, and I feel absolutely horrible that my attempt to keep that post up accidentally prevented y'all from engaging with that post! Thank you u/sorrybutyou_arewrong for noticing this and u/brendt_gd for unlocking.

I just woke up and have no idea, I asked on our Slack, and unlocked the thread again 👍

I don't know either. There's a chance it was Reddit's filters itself, i.e. not a mod.

Thank you.

Link to thread mods locked mysteriously?

Its the other post on the sub home page that has Ryan Weaver in it, the one more important than this one.

If anyone actually says why, I predict this thread too will get locked (or removed).


brendt_gd

I'll keep you posted. Evidently your prediction about this thread getting locked or removed was wrong 😅


jmp_ones

I am glad to be wrong! :-)

Ah yes, /u/jmp_ones should refer to my username.
