Locking doesn't prevent you from expressing your thoughts. Just create a new thread.

In some cases it can potentially be misleading for people who find the first thread via a search and aren't aware of the other thread.

I agree, especially when a lot of disinformation is being moved around. I think it is fine if the OP requests to the moderators to lock the thread for a good reason. If it is a lame reason then the mods can deny the request.

good to see the discussions haven't changed much, if a thread is of significant enough importance a moderator is usually resonable enough to unlock it

if thats the case I hope a mod unlocks this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/winner-has-been-decided-see-other-thread-for-results-75091

Im sure current and future ticket owners would like to be able to post their thoughts and ask questions BEFORE the raffle is over.

It's all about the game, and how you play it

I heart thebaron

When someone locks a thread because of something I ~~Troll'd~~ said, then I know I have been effective in ~~Trolling~~ expressing my views Wink

How else can Forum Cry-Babies 'Hit-n-Run' without being able to lock a thread after getting in (what they perceive as being) the LAST word ?

Thread Locking shows who squats to pee and who can actually maintain civil communication without meltdowns, resulting in running away.

100% agreed, I see a lot of companies do it after a person points out a flaw in what they are trying to do!

It seems locking threads by some OPSs is used to censore other members with complaints and to stifle freedom of speech. I think locking of a thread should only be allowed by moderators in case of pointless trolling.
