cause they either violate the rules: http://www.j-body.org/forums/rules.php or are posts that waste bandwidth and aren't needed.

This should be in the newbie forum...

Posts that violate either or both the forum rules ( http://www.j-body.org/forums/rules.php ) or the GM Enthusiast TOS ( http://www.gmenthusiast.com/terms/ ) will be locked at a moderator's discretion. The poster may also receive a forum warning or be banned depending on the thread. If the thread is so bad, it will either be moved to Anything Goes, a premium member only forum, or to the Moderator forum.

The other reason why thread's commonly get locked is if they are reposts of other threads.

Hopes this helps

true... but once the question is answered, it should be locked... its not like there can be a discussion on the subject... the answer is cut and dry...

come on now.....you have read my posts....do you REALLY think I am going to mind all that much about what they have to say about me....

I am a pretty laid back guy, who can take damn near anything when it comes to verbal/typed abuse.

its not like we DONT talk about them out here.

Relax guys, we don't use the moderator forum for discussion, its just a dumping ground for posts we want a record of, but don't want to keep in the regular forums.
