Why are threads being marked READ ONLY?

I have been here for decades and have never seen so many posts being marked READ ONLY. One must ask themself what is the purpose of this. Wouldn't it be better to simply remove the whole thread? I do see quite a few threads that are months old that can't seem to die. A community board is supposed to be a two-way conversation tool. Not being able to reply with a question or ? does no good. Just my little ol' nothing opinion. Most likely this post will be marked READ ONLY. If it is, it will only prove my point further.  Thanks all for taking the time to read my concern. I wish you all excellent sales and higher profits. 

 

The definition of a PUBLIC FORUM is shown as:

 

Public forum. A public forum also called an open forum, is open to all expression that is protected under the First Amendment.  A forum is a place, situation, or group in which people exchange ideas and discuss issues.

 

Disclaimer: This post does not mean to imply anything and should only be considered as asking the opinion of others regarding the above concerns. To do otherwise you are assuming something that the original OP did not intend to make. That would be your error, not the OP.

Actually, all of the ones I have seen are fairly new and have nothing to do with eBay employees.


They don't want you to know how Ebay's users really feel. Especially after their takeover of the payments. 


Uhhhh...the amount of complaining on this forum should tell anyone that eBay is definitely NOT censoring.

If they "don't want you to know how eBay's users really feel", then why would they bother to offer these Boards at all?
