I am pretty sure call Out threads have been locked many times, so yes, threads other than Spam threads have been locked.
Guess I forgot about them. Wasn't there a precedent already put in place? I don't know if people were aware beforehand that if you specifically call out someone in a thread negatively it would be banned. Mainly because I think bsh1 was doing it before I was here.
Second, it is unclear if you are trying to rehash your complaints about threads being locked (with the stated option for them to be unlocked if anyone were to have requested such...), or raise a new complaint with decision to censor a post and issue a warning.
Let me clarify. What rules were broken in the thread that resulted in the thread being locked?
If the former, the
AMA thread would be a better place for such discussion.
I'll ask the same question there then.
If the latter, please let me know what your preferred course of action would have been; as we are quite open to feedback.
Make people aware that thread locking can occur without it being a callout thread, spam thread or a moderator thread that is intended to be locked.
Just to make sure people are unaware. Message the person privately or publicly about a violation and if it persists then decide how to punish the user.
