So let me ask the age old question: Why do I lock topics?

WELL let's get into the nitty gritty shall we?

Why lock a topic?

Simple really; if it doesn't pertain to the general discussion of the fourm, or is just considered spam. I'm going to remove it. If you're trying to get one point across 4-5 different threads, guess what? Locked. 

Breaking serverside or forumside rules on the forums? You guessed it. Locked.

My topic is locked but it's gone. Where did it go?

I probably moved it to archives since we can't delete starting posts. The archive is a staff only thing; and is kinda like our recycling bin.

I feel as though my topic should be unarchived and/or unlocked, what should I do?

Let a staff member know you want it unlocked and provide a reason why it should be unlocked. Pestering any of us about anything will not get you what you want. You want help with something or you have something you want changed, make a point behind it instead of insulting us or annoying us.

I must say this was nitty AND gritty

The only reason I keep making new topics is because they keep getting locked. wouldn't it make sence to keep one of my topics unlocked so i dont have to keep making new ones? der

Well you think you'd be smart enough to stop making them. Unless the topic is needed, I will lock it.
