In one or two threads I have seen recently, people are complaining about locked threads. They want to know why a thread had been locked and who did it. The latter seems less important to me as it could encourage personal grudges, but I think I have an idea for the former problem.
Perhaps, when a moderator is locking a thread, they should have a drop down menu that has a number of reasons for locking the thread.
For example, if say... Goweb was locking a thread for being double posted (As in two threads of the same topic, on the same page) then he coud select 'Repeated thread' or something similar.
When the post is locked, in italics at the top of the locked post it says 'Reason for locking: Repeated thread'.
This provides a quick simple way to give an explination of why the thread was locked, and prevents PMs being sent/recieved.
Perhaps 7 or so reasons like 'Wrong forum', 'Offensive content', 'Other' (for things that don't fall into available catergories), and so on.
Any thoughts?
