Im just curious about something...

When a topic gets locked, does it eventually get deleted? I remember asking this a bit ago, and the answer was that yes, spam topics get locked and deleted, but dead posts are just left to die. In light of this, Ive noticed a few decent topics recently getting locked because they were dead (or maybe due to other reasons Im unaware of?) and I was thinking it might be unfair to those who created/responded to these topics to lose their points..

I might be totally out of line as well, just let me know )

Well, those dead topics do not get deleted. Only the spam ones will eventually. So, no one will lose valued points unless they posted in a spam topic.

Ahh! Thank you for the answer. I thought the deletion was an automated thing, such as a topic locked for two weeks wil automatically disappear. Thanks for clearing that up )

I am pretty sure a mod could do alot of things if they wanted to, but sometimes you might need to persuade a mod to unlock a thread. The point is just to talk about the process of some threads that die.

We would be happy to unlock a dead topic if you needed. I only lock dead topics if someone resurrects them.

There is a difference between "can" and "will."
