I go to the Flood from time to time, to kick back, make a funny topic or two, and have a few laughs. But I'm having trouble realizing why some topics get locked for being "off topic," when that is the point of The Flood, isn't it?

One of my threads got locked a few minutes ago. I was just curious as to why.

I would also like to point out that this thread seems to have no point to it at all, yet it hasn't been locked. I would just like to know why.

I'm not trying to be a smartass, or anything, I just want to know how they can allow one topic open, while closing another.

Yours is almost outright spam. Random things that have nothing to do with anything can be interpreted as spam. The other one is pointless, but it does have a topic and it's more of a text based MMO. Obviously your definition of a thread that should be locked will be different than a mod's, but there's not much that can be done about it.

If you're wondering why your thread was locked, then the person to ask is the specific mod who locked it. According to the mod-watch, it was probably Ghandi 2.

I agree with K Mart. The other thread did seem to have a purpose, while "posting random funny stuff" is what you see on a regular basis whenever you visit The Flood.

Yes, but the thread is still open. I could reply to it right now, if I wanted.

If you didn't notice, the guy who posted that got blacklisted ;)

But still, there's no need to point to each and every topic which you consider to be anymore pointless than yours. If you have a problem, ask the moderators.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Because a "post random things" thread is no more than a spam thread.

The other thread you linked to is now locked, because the user was banned.

The stupid space thread...well, I haven't had a chance to read it yet.

I'm afraid this topic is also unnecessary. I'm going to lock it as being off topic. Please PM a ninja if you want to know why a thread was locked in the future.
