Question: Locking Threads

[Barton]

I think that it acts more like a head stuck on a pole. A warning to any others thinking of doing the same.

That's a good point... but the people doing the spamming aren't members here (until they want to start spamming) and I doubt they read the forums. At the rate we get spam, the next time someone spams the previous locked thread is already on the next page and they're probably not likely to search for it.

I guess I only started thinking about it in the last couple of days because I have to look at one particular locked thread now that gives me the creeps.

[Barton]

Yes I know. Maybe you can ask LD to remove it as offensive.

There ya go, bear I moved that thread to the Recycle Bin, so you can't see it anymore.

My opinion on Spam threads is that locking them ensures they don't stay on the top because people post on it. Deletion is final, and we may want to get it back, like what happened recently with the Survey thread.
