Title: Locked Threads
Post by: CitizenKaine on February 18, 2003, 06:47:50 AM
Threads are getting locked a lot more often on the new boards. I dont think this is inherently a bad thing, in fact I would side with Rick and Billy on this one, because at least they manage to keep the boards civil, and thats a rarity on the net. I do think though that it would be nice to have fewer locked threads with no explanation. Even it IS an obvious poll, or something else blatant. A short 'this is a poll: locked" post would be appreciated. Im only asking because Ive seen a couple posts locked that I wasnt entirely sure of why. While I fully support the rights of the board operators to run it as they see fit, I think we'd all appreciate knowing their reasoning.

If it's obvious, it will usually get locked without explanation because we are a bit more busy than we usually get credit for. While it seems like it wouldn't take very long, when you multiply it across every thread, it actually tends to add a great deal of time.

They lock topics that either:
1) are in the wrong board(such as a help topic in Gamecube Discussion) 2) inundated with a flame war or 3) for the Gameplay Help topic, if there is already a topic on such and such game and you make a new one...
