Why was that locked? o.O?

My Master Thesis "Agricaltural and Enveronmental science"

 

Why was that thread locked?

For something like that, which was in the right place (I think), it got locked?

Perhaps tag on explanations so other users don't have a "Wtf...?" moment?

I can't find it. Can you provide a link?

I just stumbled over it by accident: http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=49677. The thesis is probably not written in English .

No, it's English. For the moment, you can view it here:

It was locked because it was merely a link for sending people to a different site, laden with advertisements. The user has not returned to discuss the material, which indicates the action was spammy.

 

We get a lot of obvious spam, and many questionable posts. Documenting would take a lot of time and effort.

This site uses google ads... *rolls eyes*

 

Anyway, looks like the person's research turned out from what I've read.

Then again, I can't read the entire results section.

Yes, and if someone went out to other bulletin boards and blogs posting links to content back here to drive traffic, they would be spamming.

 

And the ads there are about an order of magnitude worse.
