If a thread gets locked and it was the latest post in the forum, i think that the locked symbol should appear next to the link on te latest post spot. On the community homepage.
Ummm, I don't exactly agree with this because people wouldn't visit the thread if they knew it was locked. I think they should still look at locked threads because it might answer some questions they might have. Plus, I think the community might look a little messy with a couple of lock symbols everywhere.
I was actually going for this idea until Flippin talked. He makes a very good point. And also, if new people do not see that it is a duplicate or a spam thread then how will they learn?
I agree with Flippin. Just because a thread is locked doesn't mean it doesn't have any answered. In a lot of cases it's locked because it has an answer.
Along with most threads having an answer posted, and then being locked, some threads that are locked, might also learn new users what should not be posted on the forums.

That's a good point. maybe AG could get a different logo. Like a big A for answered or something. It would be locked but you would no which ones were locked that had an answer
I understand what you are saying, because it can be annoying to see a thread and want to respond, not realizing it has already been locked. But to add it on the front page seems a little unnecessary. I think it is only a minor inconvenience, and one that does not happen often.

lol yeah it doesn't happen often for you because you are the one locking them!
