So that's means there will NEVER be a locked thread ..because I have never seen or been presented with a valid, pressing, reason for doing so. And can you please unlock the thread about negging? As CLEARLY there was never a valid pressing reason to lock it? Also can you please give us...the community... an example of a "valid pressing reason for doing so?" I understand editing out personal information or something that could harm a member...but locking a thread seems pointless. Also you know that every single person has been against locking of threads.I am just now speaking up. And since we are the forums...doesn't that count for something? Or do you just insist on having that tool to whip out if you and scout discuss it and you both feel a thread should be locked?
