I agree that an already locked thread should be deleted within a day or 2 of it being locked.
Esato is not exactly a mess though. Keep both eyes open, watch your step and you will find your way around with ease

but a locked thread may be the only repository of a specific piece of information on this forum, so leaving it will allow memebers to find that information rather than having to post another thread for requesting something which has previously been provided.
likewise, locked threads which link to other threads widen the search parameters that can be used to find certain information due to the differences in terminology used about the same or inter-related topics.

agreed.... but i do believe tha arghument was 'threads that are locked but really should be deleted', which I interpret as: threads that have absolutely nothing to offer and no informational value for the forum

Why don't we just scrap all this and start over?
We could make it better from the begining.

As I said in the PAST, the Mobile Phone Free Zone and Garbage Thread should have NOT been included in the Blueprint by Laffen. Had that been done, I will not be HERE . . . . now (and forever)

@vlam: i understand what you're saying, but i think that's a rather narrow approach considering the development of this discussion. people will have differing opinions of what constitutes a "useless" thread. just because a thread contains no meritorious informative content doesn't mean it should be locked and/or deleated unless it is wildly offensive or otherwise inappropriate.
besides, the continued presence of locked "frivolous" threads could stand as somewhat of a warning to others and prevent further similar posts - say an inconspicuous version of a head mounted on a pike at the castle gate

I would like to see the deletion of threads that have been locked fater someone has linked to another thread dealing with the particular topic.

thereby, in theory, reducing the number of times such threads get posted by making more useful search results available.
