new rule for locking threads

i don't know what the current rule is or if it's just out of some random whim, but i think shutting down discussion needs a more concrete reason than "i personally don't care for this thread"

how about only locking threads that violate community guidelines and leave threads you don't like alone

even if you don't think there's a point to a topic, pointless topics are not against the rules

This thread looks reasonable and popular, lets lock it mods

Bebop, fnoof. I'm looking at you

In addition to this, we need to discuss why moderators aren't being held accountable for abuse. Locking threads that aren't breaking any rules is most definitely abuse.

As a crazy conspiracy theorist, I believe the mods lock threads that are popular in order to get their threads on the recent topics. It's an advanced form of mod abuse.

If a topic is actually pointless move it to spam, honestly, the most drastic measure that should be taken on topics is being moved there instead of being locked or, luckily something that does not happen too much, be deleted

To be fair, that was Bebop's thread and as the creator of a thread he can lock and unlock it as he pleases.

I do agree with the rest of the post, though.
