Topics getting locked
« on: May 19, 2010, 11:19:35 AM »
What is it with the mods locking loads of topics these days.  Is someone getting a little bit lock-topic-happy.?

I mean, I dont read the forum every day and come along, see a topic from a little earlier, and cant reply to it.  I would understand if the topic had shown some decent reason for locking, like a big fight or something, but I dont see any decent reason..!!!

Carl..might have been me.

Can you be specific on what you need unlocked?

In general a topics might get locked once it"s have gone some time past it"s useful date and other topics deserve higher priority on the thread list..

I cant be bothered goign back to find the topic I came across because I just see a topic and respond / react to it as I see it.

I don"t really see any good reason to just lock topics because they are old.  Older topics go onto lower pages so have their own way of disappearing off the screen.  I can understand why topics like the seatc exchanges being sold get closed and locked, because they are done with, but just normal threads, can always be added to at a later date when someone reads an old thing?  But not if they are getting locked..!!

Cheers
Carl.

That thought had crossed my mind, bit Carl does make a valid point (and not for the first time this season), so felt it should be taken seriously.   ;D

Don"t know if it was me as I don"t recall locking anything like this recently but it"s possible I did and forgot...so I also took his comments on board.
