[Q] Why was my topic locked?

I wanted to share a news, pretty much like everyone else does, and yet it got locked because it's allegedly a blog of mine? Does it look like a blog if I didn't even write anything myself? This is just ridiculous.

We don't do news item threads in NSG. It's the general discussion forum. You offered nothing to discuss, no opinion, nothing.

Just because I didn´t add "Thoughts, NSG?" it doesn't mean that I didn't offer nothing to it, nor does it mean that it is a blog of mine.

I'm not Farnhamia, nor am I psychically linked to Farnhamia, but if I had to guess I'd say your thread was probably locked because you failed to provide your own opinion or a point of discussion.

This post provides some relevant advice on posting threads in NSG.

EDIT: Ninja'd, but the link may still be useful.

Quite right. Second opinion flare sent up.

Orly? What is that then? Is NSG his personal blog, Farnhamia? So I just re-opened my thread with my opinion on it and a nice "Thoughts, NSG?" and the end and now it is allowed? This is just ludicrous, since his thread sounds exactly like a typical blog page now.

Since those two mods are offline, here's part of the OP you linked to:
The 93rd Coalition wrote:This one doesn't seem to be racially motivated; just a heated argument that went fatally wrong.

Still, we have yet another example of American gun violence less than a month or so before the population heads out to vote. I wonder if this might affect how things play out at the next debate. I wonder further at the fact that it might not.

What are your thoughts on this latest tragedy, NSG? Personally, I've never known how to reconcile the two sides of this issue. Perhaps this most recent debacle might swing me one way or another.

That's very explicitly an opinion. You just posted a quote. This person posted an opinion afterwards.

It's how NSG has operated for a while now. The OP is required to start some sort of discussion. Otherwise it's just copy/pasted content.

If you care enough to start the topic, care enough to provide your opinion and a discussion starter.
