I'd say no. I couldn't have phrased my argument better than Mazer did. Thanks Mazer!
I really wish there was a thumbs up emoticon.
Computer Science Canada Should topics be buryed when locked? |

As of v3, when a topic is locked it is sent to the last page of the forum it is in. This has lead to some confusion about where the topic has gone and if it was deleted or not. So the question is, should this be changed back to how it was in v2, left how it is now or something eltes. Please post your options! |

I personally don't care where topics go when they get locked. If they get buried then no one reads them and can't post in them. If they're not buried, then people read them and still can't post in them anyways. Either way, burying locked topics doesn't really help all that much IMO. |

If its causing confusion, its no harm in having them where they were. So, No. |

I'm going to have to join the "it's too confusing and really pointless anyways" camp on this one. My vote goes to no. |

I'm in agreement with those who would disagree. (No) EDIT: I guess adding constructively to this would help. When someone makes a stupid topic and comes back to find it has been locked, they (some of them anyway) will take a hint and shut the hell up about said topic. But when they come back and see it's gone, they're likely to think "whoops teh world wide web broke i haff 2 post again ell oh ell". |

Well, one argument against burying it is that sometimes topics get locked because time has expired, such as the 20 lines contest. I actually don't care either way, though, just pointing that out. |

I'd say no. These threads could contain valuable info that may be sueful later on, and to be unable to find them would really be a shame. |

Generally they're either a person asking for Turing or 20 pages of flames. They were buried in the first place because they're seen generally as pointless. Problem is the original poster comes back and sees their thread is missing, and probably thinks the internet broke as Mazer said. The OP reposts again (usually in a different and wrong section) asking why their post was deleted or the question again.
Most hardly contain valuable information. |
