What thread was he referring to?
I am new to the scene and also new to forums. I've only joined two forums in my life and this is obviously one of them....
But my inexperienced opinion is that no thread should ever get locked. Maybe there could be an exception depending on the circumstances, such as if people were spamming in a particular thread or something like that. But otherwise, locking a thread seems like it's a small form of censorship. Also, a person might not beable to get his 'last word' in if it gets locked. I've seen too many times people having a debate or arguing, and one person makes a really good point and the other person cannot counter with a response/answer because the thread got locked. Also, readers might actually enjoy reading the debate or arguement. And if the readers find the debate/arguement annoying, then they don't have to view/read it.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found out what thread he was referring to. That circumstance should not have been locked. On the other hand, making a new thread (this one) complaining about it being locked should not have happened as well.
