Locked thread explanations

[[Insert Neat Username Here]]

I've often noticed threads locked without any explanation of why. Should the mods post explanations before locking them? This would clear up quite a few mysteries.

I think I can safely speak on behalf of my brethren and sistren mods when I say that we agree: giving a reason for locking threads is the preferred and standard practice. However, it is not an absolutely uniform practice. Sometimes, time or other countervailing concerns override it.

If you have a question about why a thread was locked, feel free to contact a moderator for that forum.

P.S. I'm locking this one because I've answered the general question and specific cases should be taken up with the forum moderator(s) for the forum in question. :smallsmile:
