I was wondering if mods could put explanations as to why they lock certain topics. I know a lot of them are self-explanatory (question has been answered in a topic, person has returned from holiday, etc), but I think that people who are new to the forums might get confused at seeing topics locked for what might seem to them like no apparent reason.
Other locked topics, even to me, can be confusing as to why they're locked.
viewtopic.php?f=98&t=74559&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15 I'm guessing it was locked due to..flaming? I'm not even sure. If it was locked for flaming, why didn't a mod put out a warning before locking it?
This isn't a complaint about moderation, I think you guys are doing a great job. It can just be confusing to see randomly locked topics around the forums.
