    Not really when a short summation of why takes less than a minute. Anything requiring a more complicated explanation hopefully won't have been a rushed decision and the mod not have been very short on time. Even a note just saying "explanation will follow later" is a lot better than nothing.

    Now missing something that should have been locked for a few hours because things were up the walls and the mods were thinly stretched is perfectly acceptable on the busy forums. But if you're locking something you really should have enough time for some kind of perfunctory note at least.

    Just a clear "Locked because of too much back and forth personal digs" will help a new user learn quicker what is and is not ok on a forum. It really doesn't take 30 seconds to do, you already know the reason since you had to arrive at it to lock the thread in the first place.

    That is all well and good if it is a wide spread problem,it isn't.

    Considering the volume of traffic, the mods in AH do a fantastic job of keeping it together. Of course things will slip through. Even paid teams will have slippage.

    Seems like people want perfection and that isn't, and never will be viable for a mainly volunteer work force.

    It's neither aimed specifically at AH nor asking for perfection.
