I think they padlocked it because the guy had posted a hyperlink to a tube site.
Some mods, close it, some don't. Really, there are lots of threads that have such links.
As I said many times before: I dont think this is correct.
There are lot's of people that buy the higher quality movies on dvd once they get that ID.
PADLOCKING SUCH ID REQUESTS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SHOWING YOUR SUPPORT FOR NON-PIRATING!
Where is the trust? I am glad (some!) Mods think so highly of us members!
