Where would Player have read about not locking threads?

I think it is safe to say that he now knows.   If he makes it a habit then yeah have a go at him because he is doing it to be an arse.  If he doesn't then you know it was just a mistake.

Really, if you don't want a member to do something then it is a bit daft to give him the option.

Just sayin

Where would Player have read about not locking threads?

He would have read about it in the already existing fight between the admins and bluegriffin, occurring in the locked AFF thread, located in the What is Intensity subforum.

Thanks Jack.  I didn't read that one yet.

Indeed.

I agree with bodie - how would he have known that we don't really like locking threads here?

You can't really criticise someone (especially a new person) for locking his thread, when we have given them the ability to do that

Also most people don't spend that long researching a forum and working out the "culture" there before they join/post

Especially for a forum mostly full of people with ASDs, it seems kinda strange to expect new people to "know" the unwritten "rules" and "culture" of the place

If we don't want people locking threads then why give them the function in the first place?

I could understand the response if he'd locked a thread he was having a big argument in and was clearly losing. That would show cowardice. But to criticise someone for locking the thread just because we don't "do that" here seems kinda daft

Who says when it's ok and when it's not ok to lock a thread?

I like to be able to lock threads as sort of indication that I don't want to talk about it anymore and I would like it to fallback into the board's archive.  I only have used it in threads about personal stuff like when my dog Yoyo died and I wanted to lay it to rest after a week or so.  I don't feel it's good for embarrassing thing or in debate threads as all it does is call attention to the thread so other member will start their own about it  or show that your losing

I agree with Parts.

@ adam, who is to say when a thread can be locked, and when not?

Don't know. Too many locked threads are annoying. And too many side threads, on the same subject, to make discussion possible about the locked thread is annoying too. Not clear cut I think. Sometimes I am silly enough to just enjoy some break-ins in locked threads.

It says on the door about this place having few rules and a lack of moderators.  It doesn't say anything about unwritten rules.
