M.Chapman Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Today I notice a number of forum topics have been locked by Alamy moderators without explanation. Sometimes it's obvious why a thread has been locked (abuse etc.), but in other cases it's not. In which case, as a courtesy to those participating in a thread, it would be nice to see an explanation.

geogphotos Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Which topics were locked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 This is the one I noticed... https://discussion.alamy.com/topic/16601-which-keyword-worked/ She was able to start it up again in a new thread but I had no idea why it was locked. A question about why the entire submission is failed because of one bad image was also locked but there was a link to a former discussion of ours. I appreciated that one because the moderator seemed to know that we've answered that many times. Paulette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Yes even a simple this has been asked and answered so many times before please go to the FAQ for this. The question about the keywords is not in it btw. wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Alamy has become a more controlling partner - that is for sure. And I do not like it at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsyCollins Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Yep, my question was marked as answered and then locked – before I'd seen any of the responses. The answers given were appreciated but didn't tell me what I wanted to know, so I had to ask again. To me it would make more sense for the person who asked the question to decide whether the responses provided all the information they wanted, or if they'd like to leave it open in the hope of getting more information. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Afraid I feel the need to add my note to this. There are better ways to deal with this, In My Opinion. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
