Just out of curiosity, why are there so many locked threads?
Because, there are so many repeat, wrongly placed, spam, etc threads. They deserve locking, if it makes the front page look bad, oh well. That is the price of the communities inability to take two seconds to post in the correct spot.

I was actually wondering that myself. I didn't think I broke any rules when creating my post. Though I'm currently looking for the forum rules to double check.
Your post was technically spam as it was posted in the wrong forum. The Community Forum (change it back to "The Septagon") isn't your political soapbox. It would have been better placed in the Classifieds, or even the Flood.

If that's the case, how about a post from the moderator on what the dealie is when the thread is locked? Or at the very least a link to the sticky on forum rules (assuming there is one... I haven't looked around yet)?
A lot of mods used to do that frequently (and most of them still do), however when you lock twenty odd topics it's easier to just press the lock button. Furthermore, they shouldn't have to tell everyone who posts and off-topic thread that they locked it because it is off topic. We as the community should know. A lot of them are locked for seemingly obvious reasons.
