Hi you prob noticed i mentioned there that im a moderator on another forum (not mobile fone related). I noticed there that this forum has a lot of locked topics etc for ppl to see. On our website we have a section which acts as a bin which is invisible to all but moderators and admin to see. We put all the locked, split topics etc so that the topics in question can be removed from the forums to stop them looking untidy with having to delete the topics so that members post counts etc do not get reduced, just an idea i thought you might want to put forward to your admin

If its locked discussion cant continue anyways and if its left there it just gives other members ammo to start new topics as a continuation, which moderators dont want, GENIUS.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think we are alright with the way things are. We kept it visible so that others can take a look at what mistake & why the topic is locked. Its good for those new comers, it serves as a reminder of what not to do. We got people registering by the thousands daily so if we hide those locked ones, we'll eventually have the newbies posting wrongly again.

So theres a pro & con to it all. Besides with the thousand of post in here, those locked topics will eventually disappear.

Sorry to disagree Slurpy, but they won't 'disappear' , they just get hidden at the back where no one sees them

Yes and as 'Slurpy69' said.... they serve as reminders to people on why they where locked in the first place. So it gives some people the chance to actually calm their ways and learn from mistakes.
