Locking a Thread v Deleting a Thread

[Yugl]

Is there any reason why some threads are locked while others are deleted? <removed personal references> My personal theory is that the closed threads have good ideas, but need other people to shut up while the deleted threads were just bad to begin with. However, I would like to ask you (Moogles and GMs) what motivates you to pick one over the other.

Yeah, because both should have been deleted.

Yeah, because both should have been deleted.

my thread was not Harassment, my thread had a point, to stop threads like this and the other one from happening.

If the goal of your thread was to stop people from asking questions, that certainly qualifies as harassment (Even oppression).

Then what was the goal of your thread that started this mess?

Had something to do with the Voyager Sallet NM in the Den of Rancor (obviously not your words, because I actually too the time to make correct spelling of all the words instead of your version of the English Language). But presented in the way that was harassment towards Rambus.

What in particular made it harassment towards Rambus?

Also, it's Volger Skillet.

Although everyone knows where the real Voyager Sallet NM is, but that is besides the point.

I think the real question is:

Will this thread be locked or deleted?

[Kazen]

I think a lot of it has to do with the number of reports that are made in a thread. If people are spamming reports they most likely just nuke it as opposed to trying to weed through it and delete select posts. It could also be on the moderators preference; either way, I don't think it really matters. This is their forum and they can delete threads or posts that they deem bad if they choose to do so.
