does anyone know why the articles posted in Forum (Tomato Way and one by Tekhour), the topics are locked?

sometimes the moderators decided to place some articles on the forum for their own reason, maybe for pictures, structure and etc however the user can demand to delete the thread and after reconsidering the article, he/she can post it again

I love this game!
