That specific thread isn't the issue (just a symptom). The title is the issue: Thread Locking

Yes, several times.
Purpose of this section: "Introduce yourself, then criticize, compliment, or discuss how we do things."
I am criticizing the use of thread locking in these situations, and am discussing how the BAUT staff does things.
I think I even added a heartfelt comment in my previous post! Since most of you already know me, right now I'm right on target with the purpose of this section.

The use of thread locking, which impacts everyone, in lieu of the more normal, highly effect, and less collaterally damaging: notice / warning / censure / suspension / banning.

Would you prefer a closure or suspension?

Those are but two of the six choices available. Thread locking is appropriate when many are involved in a melee'. Again, because of the collateral damage, it's not an appropriate response for dealing with a few unruly individuals.
Thanks for your responses, fellows. From now on, however, let's skip the second-guessing and get to the thead OP: Thread Locking.
