FlagBoy Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I have been following this website for quite some time now since November 5th 2011 and found this site to be very useful in gather information that I need, but I have a question for anyone who can answer it. Well I was wondering why do you moderators lock topics? Why would you just not delete them? Deleting threads that are of no use would lessen the number of pages.

ExtremoMania Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) They can only delete topics if it is full of mostly unnecessary spam. They will only lock topics that are being discussed by members but becomes out of control and to prevent further unnecessary spam. And next time dude, try the question topic that is already given when you are asking some questions.

Tacymist Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Just because a topic is locked doesn't mean it's completely useless, it can still have some useful posts in it worth reading. Also another good reason to lock topics instead of deleting is to leave them as an example for members so they know what not to do on the forums.
