Commenting is disabled... what does it mean?

So I wanted to comment on a thread when (image) happened. I always thought mods simply remove inappropriate threads. What does it take for a thread to get commenting disabled, but not removed? Just asking out of curiosity.

There are a few reasons commenting may be disabled on a discussion. The most common are that the comments became overly inappropriate in relation to the OP and despite removals it isn't stopping or it could be a discussion that was necro'd and it's best to start a new, relevant discussion rather than dredge up an old one.

If the comments were inappropriate, we tend to leave a message saying that's why it was locked. If there was no comment, check the date of the OP as it's probably a necro.

OP is 7 hours old, and no comment saying why. Here the thread for reference: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/aUNeE9Ut-what-are-your-views-on-gross-gore?

The comments were getting very inappropriate and we kept having to remove them so the discussion was locked. This happened when I wasn't on shift so I couldn't leave a comment before locking.

That topic is almost becoming bait on the Boards at this point as the comments always end up going to inappropriate conversations and people end up getting posts removed/accounts suspended. It's best to stay out of them and keep that conversation to some place other than the Boards.

Yeah, probably. It's somewhat league related though and I don't think the OP meant it as bait. I was just posting in that thread because I liked his stream. Oh well, thanks for clarifying that for me, just asked because usually threads just get removed and not locked (at least in my experience).

If the thread itself doesn't really break any rules, but is sparking a toxic discussion, that's usually when the comments are disabled.

That makes sense since it was about Gross Gore. Thanks.

I think you clicked and loaded it before the thread was removed. It won't forcibly re-load your tab so that's what happens.

They don't do that as a standard, it's just a per individual case thing.

That happens when you're active on Boards of different Regions (in our case: NA and EUW). Sometimes, the "foreign" board says you are a member of another board region and does that to you. You usually can fix this by simply relogging into your account.

/EDIT: In case it's about the PBE Board: You need to login with your PBE Account, else you can't post anything there.
