Thread locking is not good modtarding. Threads need to die a natural death. When threads get locked the underlying feelings start appearing in other threads and then the modtards have to start working, again. Modtards do not like to have to work, it puts them in a foul mood. They get stressed and then the little modtard cannot rise to the occasion ...
Also, threads should never be closed due the request of the thread creator. For example, a thread creator starts a thread that goes off the tracks and paints the thread creator in a bad light. Well, we are all adults on SHMBs. As adults we make decisions. When decisions are made there can be consequences to those decisions. By a modtard closing the thread the thread creator cannot learn from his/her error and will repeat the behavior. The repetition of behavior then creates more work for the modtards. Modtards do not like to have to work, it puts them in a foul mood. They get stressed and then the little modtard cannot rise to the occasion ...
There is a reason we have the dead modtards on the island, less moderating is the best moderating ...
Now go forth and tickle some taint.
