The reason why locked threads aren't sent to the archives is so that people can still find them... putting them in their own subforum would defeat this purpose.

E: sometimes locked threads are meant to be viewed by more than just the creator... An example would be like if the server was down and someone made a thread stating that they couldn't log in. A sent might lock it and explain that the server is down, and then other people could see it if they were having similar problems

Now this thread will probably get locked too ._. dammit xP

Its not a bad idea though, I hate all the locked threads spamming up subforums... I just don't know any good way to get rid of them :c

Suppose, instead of locking them up in another Subforum, there's an option for them to go *Poof*?

As an ex-sentinel and as someone who is currently a mod on CFM, it's good that the locked threads are visible. Yes, they may litter a forum (when I was sentinel I would send them to archive after forty-eight hours), but they also show users what not to do. I think all that needs to be done is have set days when locked threads go to archives, and all will be good.

:P
I could edit it to change my idea completely

No, poof is bad.

• The user will not see what happened and will make the same mistake
• Other users wont see it, and also will make the same mistake.

The forum has run this way since 2010. I don't see it changing.
