even if i close a thread, it will still be able to produce results when searched. the only way to isolate a thread is to delete it.

i will agree to this as some people may find it a reason to make a post. i beleive this problem is more of "trend". when someone does it others will follow. to help stop this, i will tell the moderation team to look out for these type of posts.

this is an interesting idea, however it would require a lot of work and i will most likely receive more complaints as i will have to explain the reason for the lock. the moderation team is already questioned for locking/deleting threads we fill are more none constructive than constructive. also, this will prevent the first reason i stated in this post, to allow people to follow up on threads they find.
