I have never in my 20+ year online forum life seen a forum like this where threads are locked at the rate they are here. I'm a mod on a forum and several FB groups so I get how this all works but clearly, different rules etc. for each/set by the owner/etc. and I get that/not up to me here. My question is....why not just go after/warn the folks that repeatedly are the souce of the locking? Then the folks that want to participate can enjoy the dicussion. The ones that create the bickering or post comments of zero value in those threads/incite the issues are the ones that require the moderation, not the other participants. Basicaly we all suffer b/c it's easier to lock it vs. tell long-time forum users/high post count folks to cool it?
