FAQ Update - Threads About A Single User

[Moderator 09]

16. Why are some threads locked?

Threads can be locked for the following reasons:

(a) The thread consists of a single post by the Forum Admin containing some information
     of use to the membership. If the thread were not locked then the original post would become
     buried by further comment and thus difficult to access.

(b) An expired Corner thread will be locked because the thread (which was to give a restricted
     member somewhere to post) is no longer needed.

(c) Threads started by members using sock puppet accounts will be locked at the discretion of
     the Moderators if the thread serves no other purpose than to promote the sock puppet.

(d) Threads about a single forum member may be closed at that member's request.  (This does not apply to Corner threads.)

The Moderators reserve the right to lock other threads if deemed necessary, pending discussion
with the membership over further appropriate action.

New text in red.

This is in response to numerous recent requests to close threads about individual forum members.

I like when people start threads about me... but maybe that's just the narcissist in me talking
