I doubt the administrator want to add such features.

The easy way the moderators just need to move those threads to trashcan or add one more section for drama, perhaps "Drama" or "Shit Talking" sounds good.

They can just make a thread self moderated and delete replies they want to delete and keep sig spam down or whatnot.

They can just delete the post from users that they don't like and those users get mad, then they will create new self moderated thread because they don't want their posts got deleted.

Everything can be abused.

If in the end such a measure ended up being taken I don't think it would be a solution either, as someone who didn't want comments in their thread apart from their accusation and bumping it could make it self moderated and delete all replies, or the ones they don't like, which I wouldn't be surprised if Fuckingretardedraccer did.

So if measures were to be taken I think there would have to be two, not allowing lock threads in the section (at least with less than x comments) and not allowing self-moderated threads, as happens in Meta.

I think JackpotRacer is trolling JollyGood. JollyGood is the one who have such habit and his latest one was to make me look dirty which is the third link of the links posted on the OP.

That might be what's happening, but neither need to be doing it IMO. They can just make a thread self moderated and delete replies they want to delete and keep sig spam down or whatnot. I'm all for users posting whatever they want about whomever, but would still like to see users be able to reply is all.

Has anyone (especially the person in question mentioned in the thread) ever reported the locked thread they cannot reply in to the moderators and what was the outcome?

Mods are allowed to interpret the rules as they see fit, so there doesn't exactly have to be a standing rule about it for a mod to change the status of a thread from locked to unlocked. If they regularly unlock the thread to bump it, that's an added reason to unlock it.

Anyone who creates such topics probably understands that the same topic, but with a refutation, can be created for discussion. I see such topics as a banner that contains information that, in the opinion of the author, is the truth. But unfortunately, people do not understand that such a conclusion requires the opinions of not only the other party but also the entire community. Otherwise, such posts can be perceived as something uncivilized written on a fence. No more. Although we always have an understanding that posts without discussion quickly go into deep history and remain unattended.

That assumes the thread will even go that far~

If it doesn't, there's probably no need to lock it anyway.

Inefficient? Yes. But personally I'm for the fewest number of rules/restrictions possible.

Well, that's kinda why I don't think a user should be able to silence any responses to a thread that is against someone's reputation or accusing someone of a scam, they're creating a rule/restriction to censor responses on a forum that should be against censorship, especially in sections like reputation & scam accusations, but really anywhere, IMO. Although, I'd agree it isn't a large long-standing issue, but it may be becoming one.

Starting up another thread is of course possible, but having 2 threads for the same situation is annoying as a reader, if you even know the other thread exists.

Maybe threads can't be locked in these sections until after page 2-3?

That assumes the thread will even go that far--but if a restriction like this was to be implemented, there would definitely have to be a reasonable time or post count parameter. However, I don't really think any such rule is needed. This hasn't been a long-standing problem, and while it might be annoying to some people, there's absolutely no restriction on the accused (or anyone else) starting up a rebuttal thread which ideally would reference the locked thread.

I am quite annoyed by such a habit, I usually put such users on the ignore list, no matter what section it is.

For example, we often have someone in the service section regularly bump and lock, thus keeping their topic at the top. Earlier, I suggested that the locked topic be automatically moved to the archive, but certainly to reduce the bump power. It should certainly not be the top, a topic that you can read but not give a different opinion or ask a question.

Locked means solved or irrelevant, therefore, there is no need for it to be visible as a priority.

Seems pretty lame to start a smear thread and then lock it.. online forums are meant for discussion.

Maybe threads can't be locked in these sections until after page 2-3?

Locking threads is useful to stop the repetitive posts, when everyone wants to start repeating the first 5 posts in different ways, but doing it to censor any response seems a bit cowardly and manipulative.

Seconded. This should include the scam accusations board too at times. It's getting annoying.

I don't see the point of one making a thread to criticize/accuse someone or a service if they are just going to lock it up immediately. If one hates or fears counter-criticism or defense from the one they accused, then they shouldn't open the thread at all. They won't die because of that.

If rules like this will be implemented then it is fine except the thread doesn't have anything to attach with any case or whatever, then for a thread where a user created and lock immediately without the accuser defending themselves shouldn't be locked or better still the accuser can make another topic to express themselves since the previous topic is locked and I believe it would also call the attention of the first poster to come reply on the new topic. Alternatively if the admin or mods finds it out whereby the accusers needs to defend themselves then it's better for them to unlock it when the op has locked it.

Should we have a rule regarding the reputation section where users cannot open a thread and immediately lock it? I feel like users the thread is about should have the right to defend themselves if they wish, without having to open a new thread cluttering the section.

Here are a few examples. It might be ok at times I suppose, but really comes off as kind of cowardly to not allow someone to defend themselves doesn't it.
