I say that when a mod locks a topic, they should HAVE to put a reason why they did so that we know what we did wrong.
If someone makes an inappropriate thread, then they should be able to know what they did wrong so they don't do it again.
I know some mods just put it on your profile, but if you post it, all the people who read the locked thread will know what you did wrong, and hopefully, not do it themselves.
That sounds like a good idea to me. I know some mods do post a reason, and some threads are obvious, but there are those that I have no idea why they were locked.
We normally do post a reason. Sometimes I suppose one might not be posted because the reason is blatantly obvious. But if there is any question about the threads, an explanation is normally left.
I got a thread locked a month or two ago for 'many reasons' that I didn't know any of. I never heard back...When a mods lock a thread, they should have reasons to choose from and click one, and it will say that on the topic.
I have a question to all the mods: does anyone know what happened to my topic in WEPR that was about the equality of men and women? It seems to have disappeared.
I know some mods just put it on your profile, but if you post it, all the people who read the locked thread will know what you did wrong, and hopefully, not do it themselves.
yea, stop saying this is gonna get locked, cuz it hasnt, and 2 mods have posted here already..
i for one, have never had my thread locked... haha, i just started my first one, maybe... 25 minutes ago? anyways, from wat i've seen, they do put a reason... usually, except, like, most of ya'll have said, its obvious...
Unfortunately I still have no idea why the bad translator thread was locked...
I agree with the OP, although the conversation could be brought to the profile, I think that a relevant locking post should be available to see as well.
