I was just wondering when/why are topics blocked? (lock icon shown in front of the yellow folder).
Under what circumstances are posts blocked and is it never possible to view the contents of the posts in that topic?
Thanks, ben

when topics are "locked" (not blocked) you can still view the topic but not post. see the Help information why.

This is what Help says

Moderators

Moderators control individual forums. They can edit, delete, or prune any posts in their forums. If you have a question about a particular forum, you should direct it to your forum moderator.

Admins and forum moderators reserve the right to close or delete any post that does not provide a clear and purposefull topic. There are many members who still use 28.8 and 56k modems that do not have the time to wade through useless and senseless topics.

Anyone who posts just to increase their Esato Forums stats or post topics out of boredom risk having there topics closed, removed and/or membership revoked.

Try to make the topic wording mirror what is inside the thread. Topics like "Check this out!" and "~~\\You have to see this!//~~" only attract members to a topic they may not want to read.

Here's an easier way to put it:

Laffen is the dictator.
The moderators are the warlords.
