Locked conversations

Why is it that as soon as a conversation on this forum begins to get a little heated or confrontational the thread gets locked?

Surely the main point of the forum is so that Blizzard can get an Idea on what the players like or dislike. If the moderators keep ending converstations possibly through lack of having something to do then surely the system will not work.

We welcome discussions, even heated debates are ok when posters behave sensibly and within the rules. We wont tolerate mud slinging, trolling, outright rudeness and people resorting to Godwin's law (the list does go on).

Q u o t e:
Do not post about (or re-post) locked or deleted threads

Posts that are locked or deleted have a reason behind the moderation. We generally lock before we post on a locked thread to stop the violation in question as soon as possible, so if you have yet to see a comment by a member of the community team on a locked thread, please wait for it and do not post on the subject. In some cases the moderator may consider the reason obvious enough to not need explaining, or simply not wish to bring the post back to the top of the forums.
If you wish to discuss moderation, please contact us through the appropriate channels:
