Should that thread not be locked?That would depend on the context. If the conversation has naturally progressed and isn't stopping anyone from talking about what they want to, then absolutely not. If the thread has been hijacked or disrupted, then yes.
So-called "late night" threads fall into the first category, and as of yet, no one has provided a single compelling reason why they should be locked, what benefit the forum gets from them not existing.While your post(s) have certainly changed my mind about the subject (after immaturely thinking of some way to counter you for about 15 minutes), I can still understand the point of view of a ninja wanting to stick to the normal thread format of having one topic.
Something to pacify everyone: have an on-site IRC client so there's no grey area with the rules in this respect. New mods specifically for the IRC channel could be appointed as well as an auto spam filter of some kind to counter any troublemakers while no IRC mods were online. Just an idea.
