I think it's the subs moderators that cut off new posts. I think that's something they do quite frequently when something has been identified to a reasonable level.
- mintplant 8y agoYes, this is it. When a post 'blows up' like this and gets linked to from a bunch of outside sources, it creates a big spike in the volume of comments in the moderation queue---i.e., more work for the (unpaid) mod team. If these comments are all tangential to the subreddit's purpose (here, identifying unknown objects), it can be much easier just to lock the thread.
