: This whole concept of "locking" threads is strange and alien to me.
To me, the primary value of locking a thread is to allow the admin to attach a "don't do this again" warning directly to whatever is objectionable, and provide a strong encouragement to stop posting about topics of which the locked thread is an example, without having to draw attention to it by posting elsewhere on the site and thus implicitly declaring the issue worthy of everyone's attention, or confusing people by having the thread simply vanish.
