    Why do so many feedback threads get locked , it's not a helpdesk and they aren't tickets,

    why not just leave them to die, sure a couple might be rubbish like in any other forum but there's 9 locked threads on the front page.

    Padlocks scream your opinions not wanted here

    Padlocks scream GO AWAY

    Padlocks do you see them

    And (probably,you'll have to ask the smods and admins to be sure) to stop fights escalating. It happens unfortunately. Other than that i guess its the smods judgment call on keeping the peace or whats been sorted.

    AFAIC it's to increase the signal part of the signal:noise ratio.

    Mostly because otherwise in descends into lolcattery and noise - as involved posters feel the need to continue prattling on until they get their way.
