Ok, too much locking....

IMO, it's taking away from the forum. I think others have noticed this as well. I mean, of course there are threads that should be locked, but it seems that it's been getting kinda bad lately... Where do you draw the line?

Some threads are allowed to stay, and some are locked.. even though their subject and/or contents can be equally or even moreso disgusting or whatever.

And, I don't think reposts should ever be locked. If nobody is interested in the thread, it will die. That's the whole purpose of a thread being bumped to the top when someone posts in it. The repost police are always out in force. It shouldn't be locked just because the regular forum members have already seen it, not everybody is here everyday, let alone all day.

It seems we're losing sight of the whole point of this place, It's a discussion forum.

And yeah, the mods putting the reason for the lock in the first post would be very helpful, and at least help justify the locks. Otherwise it just seems like randomness.


We try to post explanations, but some are so obvious that if you need an explanation then you obviously don't need to be posting here.

I agree, all my posts have been locked......Why????????

They did not hurt anybody, weren't disgusting.....and yet the post about some guy with a wet cat on his lap, is still going....

Is that what you guys find interesting????
 
I agree too... what's with all the locking? Or if you do, PLEASE post a reason at least, so people will be aware of what they did wrong. Some of these locks just don't make sense.
