Thread Locking Out of Hand?
Is it not getting a little carried away to lock a thread because a question has already been asked? I'm sure 90% of the questions posed have already been answered in some form or another. If you dont want to read a thread, dont read it. Get off your power trip guys. This threadlocking is getting a bit out of hand.
steroids and alcohol

If people wouldnt start stupid ass pointless threads or read the rules before posting things then threads wouldnt get locked. Doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

Run a search: "alcohol+steroids ";"drinking+steroids"...etc.
It doesn't take 5 seconds... The poster wasn't even a noob. Noobs get leeway.
It seems nowadays everytime a Mod does his job he has to backflip tru hoops to please you guys.

and in response to the "power trip" which may or may not happen as much as you think. this ISNT that.
that question should be forbidden on AR for eternity, AND threads about other threads getting locked or people getting banned need to be instantly locked imo

I noticed this along time ago, from people that are no longer here. I agree this board needs to loosen up....

I completely realize that someone starts a thread about drinking and steroids almost daily. I would further agree that a simple search could have turned up dozens of threads on the issue.
I just think its a little overboard to lock a thread because the question has already been asked when, as I stated before, 90% of the new threads could be answered by using the search function.
I rememeber Swole used to lock like every third thread before he left.

agreed I love how this site is run ... And I have seen mods let stuff slide and give members the rope and they hang them selves .... So i think the mods do a great job .... IS why i like it here .. also on a note ... My wife visits this board reading up on things and she HAS said that this is one of the cleanest places that i belong to ( meaning afending AVI. laungage ect..)

I don't see the reason for locking old threads?
If they don't want you to start a new thread on a question thats been asked a million times. But if you do search and find an old thread and then bump it for more information about it gets locked too. Your damned if you do your damned if you don't

Old thread.. new members section.. rebumped because a. user didn't read the thread date..and is just trying to get his post count up (like so many of you have done); b. User is trying to start shit with a member.. etc... Lockdown
Members pic forum.. member bumps thread from 2001 to ask a guy who probably doesn't even friggin post anymore what his diet looks like *rolls eyes*..lockdown...
I go on infinately.. Why? Because threads are evaluated on a thread by thread basis.
But course you members won't see that. You just see a power-tripping Mod and a thread with an old date.

I think all the threads I've seen locked have been justified in doing so. Besides, if a mod deems it necessary to lock it, that should be it. The judges decision is final.

From what I've seen, all the threads that have been locked there is a reason for it.
Either
a) the thread has been addressed/answered/asked multiple times in the recent past
b) the thread had a UGL name etc etc
c) the thread is lame as hell and serves no purpose and the responses are..."I don't get it" ......... "what??" .......... "in b4 the lock" etc.
