Thread locked with a reason or identifying the MOD

[ProfJohn]

I thought one of the new rules was for the MODs to explain why threads are locked.

Yet as I look at this one I see no reason given nor do I see the MOD who locked it identify themselves.

What's the deal?

I locked that one. It was a troll thread, plain and simple. I got a phone call just after I did, and I had to go out on something more urgent.

Sorry my personal emergency rained on your trolling.

If that is the reason then the posts should have been deleted or some type of in thread warning given to people posting BS.

Otherwise we are setting precedence that anyone can get a thread locked by just acting like an ass.
