My update was locked... Why?

Just a quick question about updates.

I posted an update earlier today asking about the possibility of play testers for my game. It got locked.

Other people have posted about getting testers as well... I'm just wondering why mine was locked, there was no message or anything left to explain.

If its the wrong thing to do that's fine, I just want to be clear on it is all.

Asking for people to beta test belongs in the project recruitment part of the forums, or in your own project's thread.


If you see anyone else asking, they need to be closed down as well, but staff isn't omnipotent and has an all-seeing eye.

That's fine was just wondering is all, because I was sure I'd seen people posting before, but I couldn't remember if they'd been locked.

I'll post recruitment then if the post in my thread doesn't work.

"the status feed rules specifically say to not ask people to view or comment on your thread"

Maybe that had something to do with it as well? One of my status got locked for that reason when i was seeking opinions via a vote.
