Just curious, what happens when your thread is locked? Does that in any way affect your title?I believe it could be or can't be affected. It could affect your title if you post unrelated things (Or troll, anything bad). But I don't think it'll affect anything if the posters in your title (Not necessarily you.) troll or flame. I don't think that the system can differentiate between a 'good' and a 'bad' post. If it could, then there would not be a need for moderators in the public forums.
My guess is that a thread locking has no effect on an individual's title, as it would be pretty complicated to implement a function that would only take away trust from the users responsible for the locked thread.
I actually agree with JB. *GASP*
I don't believe that locked threads effect title, since the system can't possibly differentiate between the reasons of the lock. It could of been a spammer with a rage topic, or it could be a trustworthy member who's thread was flamed by posters other than himself. It would be unfair if the OP was punished for what others did, in the second case. That's my reasoning. I've had threads locked before by it my fault or by my request. Either way my title has never even flinched from the lock. I think it would be safe to say that locks have no affect on your tittle, and if they do it's very minuscule.
I agree with the last 3 people in this massive quote pyramid. While, from my experience, most locks are from a fault by the OP, mods don't want to spend their time playing the blame game to decide who loses their precious trust points.
