Locking down a thread - well done MNHQ!

[lougle]

I just wanted to say that I thought the lock-down feature you've introduced is really very helpful.

It's a clear message that you're taking action, without having to declare your thoughts until you've had time to digest the thread.

Thank you!

The crazies are out in force this evening

I liked the lock down as well.

It is very necessary sometimes. And gives people a chance to calm the fuck down

Despite the fact that I had spent a few minutes working out exactly how much DH is left with for every £1 increase in wage (3.9 pence in case anyone is interested) after deductions.

I didn't even know they could do this? When did this happen?

oooh, have i missed something?

Very pleased that that particular thread was locked down! One particular person was on mission destruct!!!

does this mean that as soon as someone reports a thred it gets locked until MNHQ responds - it will lock down the whole site.......

I miss everything. I hope everyone is ok.

what thread?

Noooo!

We use it when things seem to be spinning out of control and sometimes when we want to go to bed

Not that I'm going to bed right now

I am guessing the tax credits thread, that turned nasty quickly!

oooh, but i do like a good out of control thread, but yes, can see the use of this rather than having to delete a whole thread.

Oh Rowan, are you digging yourself a hole again? You know it's going to end with you having to do a blank post.

Anyway I'm outta here

Shame some posters can't be 'locked down'.

I think it was the right call too.

< suck up >

I like it too.

I missed today's, but I was really grateful when a thread was locked down at the weekend.
