If, however, an OP raises a more general issue -- for example what do people like to use as duotone combinations -- I wouldn't lock the thread just because the OP has had enough, if there's an active discussion of duotones going on. But if the discussion has progressed to tofu recipes ... |
But even if the topic changes how does this merrit locking the thread? If the OP (whatever that stands for) has received his/her answer then they can just abandon the thread and let everyone else continue their learning experience on tofu recipes... |
Only because a thread titled Duotone Settings? but filled with people sharing recipes isn't truly "open" to new participants; rather, it has become a semi-private chat room for the hangers-on from the original discussion. It neither lets the person looking for Duotone info to find it as readily, nor entice people looking for tofu recipes to browse it from the home page. |
I can understand locking a thread if the discussion topic has been thoroughly explored and the posts have wandered so far off-topic that they bear only the most tenuous connection to the original topic.
In many cases however, that is not the scenario. Someone starts a thread and then finds that the majority of the replies are not to their liking and requests that the thread be locked even though they are quite pertinent to the topic of the original post. All they have to do to silence the dissenters is cry to SC and those who disagree are rendered immediately mute.

I guess that's not my personal experience. In fact, I'm pretty sure that the OP has locked more threads than I have : ) |

It's pretty much been par for the course, though. Granted, you don't really lock any threads for any reason so you're probably not the best person to be responding to my query. |

FWIW, I rarely lock threads either, unless I have little other choice. Do I think that the OP is "more equal" than other posters in a thread? In some cases, yes. Specifically, if the OP's topic was of a personal nature, and the thing degenerates to a point that it is causing distress to the OP, then it might warrant being locked if the OP so requests. Then again, if another poster should request it on behalf of the OP, I'd listen to that as well. The OP's direct request would, however, seem to carry more weight.
In a thread of general interest, I don't particularly see why the OP's request should carry any more weight than any other poster, or any reader, for that matter. In that respect I entirely agree with the smite-meistress. |

speaking of threadjacking -
I started a conversation with a co-worker the other day about our New Years celebration
After four sentences he HIJAACKED the conversation to Christmas!!!
Well, I wasn't going to put up with that - So I verbally locked the thread and walked off
How dare he go off the topic I picked!?
Can I add my question to MK's excellent question then -
Why does the OP get to freak out when the conversation naturally drifts as in "real" conversation?
I'm with MK, the thread belongs to the community wherever it may roam, like a conversation among friends. If the conversation drifts, you can pull a friend aside (like a PM, get it?) and continue what you wanted to talk about while the rest of the group gabs away about tofu recipies. |

I guess the only problem with this is that someone later searching the threads might not find the conclusion because it was sent in a PM.
Edit: fixed typo

Because our special little gang of hijackers would hijack every thread into utter nonsense and posting anything besides links to youtube would be completely futile. |

I see, like trying to carry on a conversation over the braying of barnyard animals might get a little annoying -
Excellent point - I've learned here tonight :-) |

Also, forum rule #2 states we can't start duplicate threads. That gives the OP ownership, not only of the thread they started, but to the topic as well. Not a good thing.

Exactly. Forum threads are much like challenge entries - if you choose to put it out there, you should have to take what you get for feedback. We don't allow pulling of challenge entries without penalty** and we shouldn't be allowing locking of threads when the OP gets in a snit or something because the forum comments aren't to their liking.
**Even self-DQ's count toward suspension of site privileges if they occur in quick succession.
So, what has to happen for this propensity for thread locking to abate?

Just so you know, I just sent in a ticket to change my username to "the OP"...
so then I will be the owner of all threads, and thus by default become the Supreme Ruler of the internet...

"our special little gang of hijackers"
"barnyard animals"
The sudden pain of searing hot ears awoke me from my sleep. :(
...now I feel compelled to say something about the topic out of guilt. Um, I feel that thread locking amounts to cruelty to barnyard animals, therefor I am opposed to it.
