Your question can only be answered on a thread by thread basis (as the reason for closing each thread is specific to the thread). Which one's are you concerned with?P-Free said:What is with the Hitler policy with threads closing in the middle of debates?

Godwin's law (also Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an adage in Internet culture that was originated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states that:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1 (i.e. certainty).
There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a comparison is made, the thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress.

The lock may or may not come with a link to the appropriate existing thread.recceguy said:Not to mention when a question has been done to death and someone decides to post it again because they're to lazy\ incompetent\ to much of a neophyte\ or didn't read the guidelines, type to do a "Search".
