i cannot find anything relating to why threads are locked, or who locked them. it seems like all of a sudden in a long-lasting thread it is locked and there is no chance to respond to direct questions or accusations that have been posed. i think at least there should be some transparency, and that a notice should be placed saying why the thread was locked, who locked it, and which statement or question crossed the line. If a member publicly quits and promises never to return, then does return under a pseudonym, and someone calls them on it, does that get a thread locked? or how about posting clear evidence of untrue statements in advertising, does that get the thread locked? i just want to know if i am the guilty party...
