I thought it was made fairly obvious why the thread was locked: "Until we announce a date then it will just be off topic spam time killing."
Multiple warnings and bans were issued because people kept disobeying the forum rules. Plain and simple, if people can't play by the rules then the playground is closed. If people are just going to spam the thread in order to bide time then there is no valid reason to keep the thread open, hence the announcement thread was closed.
For general comments on Crysis 2 demos, this long serving thread can be used: http://www.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5623
I also left this thread open as it was off to a seemingly good start: http://www.gamesas.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7161
If it gets spammed then it also gets closed. The reason it remains open whilst the second was closed was exactly that, the second was a duplicate thread.
Hope that answers your question. In future, if you have questions/comments regarding moderation here then you can feel free to send an email through our Contact Form, or just contact me via PM and we can discuss any issues.
This thread is now being closed because it's more than likely going to be used to discuss the PC demo.
