Why? I mean we have threads for IRL airline companies but no Starbcuks?

As I said, its copyright. Sorry.

I expect Manaime is right and that the issue is that Starbucks is a real company. Try being a little more imaginative and coming up with your own IC coffee shop chain.

Starbucks is a real company, I know that.

But we have dozens of other real companies in GE&T. I don't see those threads being locked.

If I may introduce pertinent information into the thread without getting smacked for being out of place...I think the issue was with you claiming copyright at the bottom. Look at the very bottom of your opening post- Fris left an edit comment there. Here's the report thread with two moderators' opinions on the legality of your thread.

Look at your first post, the introduction. See what Fris had left for you as a side note? Read it and then understand how your thread was locked: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=420919

Shoot. The copyright was just to make it look nicer.

Nevermind. Your franchise is back, so this problem can finally be over.
