I was thinking, once a MOD locks a thread, you can't look at the thread again. Or maybe all the locked threads go to a separate forum section called "The Graveyard."
I don't know, I think it's a good idea.

Some of the threads are locked (And this happens a lot in the Support and Suggestion forum) not because they are spam or repeated, but because the original question was answered (like if somebody asked 'How do you comment' and he gets a few answers). It prevents loads of users from all writing the same answer to the question(It's kind of spam), even though it was answered in the first post.

Or maybe all the locked threads go to a separate forum section called "The Graveyard."


Again, same as above: Some threads are locked because they have been answered, and putting them in a forum mixed with other locked, spam threads is not going to help.

It's too bad they never look at locked answered threads in the first place... >_>

I don't know... maybe I'm being too liberal about this. Ideas that come to mind are answered threads get a special yellow, red, or some other kind of color to indicate that it is answered, and that people benefit from reading it; another is that locked threads that aren't answered, simply spammed, should be locked, with the cause(s) to be deleted inside the thread, with a lecture afterward.

It's like reminding Aquaman to not swim inside a volcano, that sort of thing.
