You take orders from Tom T?I can be quite... persuasive.

I'd assume there is a decent chance that the raw volume of threads that mods lock itself renders this extra nicety an unrealistic ideal - I'd imagine there is simply not the time. The moderation team on Bungie.net is an unpaid, volunteer effort with limited time resources and I would imagine - again, with the possibility of being wrong - that the triviality of most of the threads they lock fails to bring about the impetus for such individualized treatment.Basically this. As we are volunteers I don't think it is reasonable to expect such a high level of clarity and accountablity.
This would add additional hassle to the process - unnecessary hassle when the majority of locked threads can be easily placed by users within any interpretation of the rules. Similarly it also makes any lock a public issue, which people can then contest, when it is easier for our sanity to deal only with the OP (where we will clarify further if needed), rather than listen to their friends or other backseat moderators.
