Hello. Topic "unbelievable clowns out there" locked? Not sure what causes a topic to be locked, obviously down to the moderators but what are the reasons for locking a whole topic, not necessarily this one?

Legal risks to the site owner
Boring regurgitation of the same points/axe grinding
Being discussed on another thread ( usually then linked)
Risk to the writer ( legal, very occasionally material if giving info a miscreant could use)
Bad manners

I'm sure there are others the Mods might add, but no list will be exhaustive

It was obviously going nowhere from the first post and I'm surprised that it took 7 pages of posts, mostly abusive, to get locked.

But really I think this whole forum is getting that way, many posts are abusive, racist, homophobic or vulgar. It's like some rough inner city pub that you might stray into and beat a hasty retreat.

Definitely not the sort of place you would take a lady.

Fair enough answers, thanks. One contributor suggested that anonymity could be banned as it encourages bravery from some types of posters who make abusive remarks / untruthful claims secure in the knowledge they will not be found out. I think there is merit in that idea.
