Locked Topics

Locked Topics are topics that moderators have locked due to SPAM, unrealistic action, flame wars, or extreme inactiveness. At one time, topics were locked due to length, but the mods changed that rule about 6-7 months ago.

Locked topics cannot be posted in, though posts submitted to the topic before it was locked can still be approved. Usually announcements and the like are locked to avoid drawing attention away from the main point. However, sometimes a glitch will allow locked topics to be posted in. Locked topics were usually deleted soon after locking, but this does not happen as often anymore.

When a topic is locked, Moderators will almost always let a second topic through with the same idea. Normally the new topic will just have a "2" on the end of it (Or a 3 if the previous topic was a 2, 4 if the last was 3, etc.) The topic "Talk to the Mods" in the MB forum, in fact, was so popular that it now is on its 6th edition. The topic "Camp MB" has been locked a few times due to spam and off-topic posts.
