It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

If its locked and you haven't been banned for what you posted, then i think your in the clear. So I wouldn't worry about why you cant. If you posted something stupid, then its better for people to see.

You mean you don't want a mod locking an inflammatory or inappropriate thread, reading through it, and discovering that you're one of the people who need to be banninated?

Yeah... Just try and think about what you're typing before you hit the "submit" button and it won't be an issue.

If posts could still be edited post-locking a discussion could still take place between members who have already posted within the thread.

Since a lock is designed to stop further discussion etc it would be kind of pointless.

It's probably there to prevent you from changing a post which would have gotten you banned.

Ninja's can see all the edits. So it wouldn't matter.

I'm fairly sure that ninjas can't actually see edits at all.

If the thread is locked, why worry about it? The discussion is closed and that should be end of story. If they're offended enough to PM you, then you can attempt to clarify your position to them and soothe their rage.

If that doesn't work, just block them for being stupid.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

Anyone involved in the thread could still have a conversation through the editing of posts albeit a frustrating and limited one (which, I imagine, defeats the purpose of locking the thread in the first place).

It's probably because if a thread is locked, the mods want everyone to see the reason that it was locked, so you can learn.

I think most people are aware that they are breaking the rules when making those threads.

  • 09.10.2012 12:43 PM PDT

The way I see it the point of edits is to clarify what you said, so people don't take it the wrong way, and reply with something that doesn't fit with what you said.

None of that is really necessary in a locked thread which, as far as moderation is concerned, won't be looked at again.

Editing your post after the lock is kind of like slowing down after the patrol car's lights go on.
