    What are the reasons for locking a thread?

    I asked Swolecat(a former mod) before and he said:
    "no one is going to explain moderating procedures, just bypass the closed threads and move along"

    Wrong

    So can Carlos or Nark or another hall of famer explain for all the members? And perhaps this can be a future sticky.

    If it serves no purpose other than causing drama, or if it starts breaking board rules. Not that complicated.

    You can always tell why/when a thread is going to get closed.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Let's face it, hall of famers are much more active on the forum than admin are.

    I started the thread since I felt it was a public topic and PM was not needed.
    That's all...

    Hey buddy, don't push it.

    Entertaining or amusing is a different story. But starting a thread that says:

    "I JUST FARTED.... thought you guys might want to know. "

    This has no meaning and no purpose other than to whore the thread. Hence, the lock.
