How about instead of locking threads, they are deleted? An automessage explaining the situation to the thread creator is sent by Disembodied Soul (*shivers*). It would go something like this:
Moderator Automessage: The thread that you created has been locked for one of the following reasons: incessant flaming, spam, bumping, off-topic, cross-posting, bias, or general pointlessness. You will not repost or otherwise recreate this thread. Failure to comply with this will result in a possible blacklisting.
This would not pertain to moved, sticky-locked, or auto-locked threads.
