Yeah it would be okay to just lock them if this was an 18+ age game only. But it's not. If they were to just lock something, knowing that there was lots of offensive content in the thread, they would be encouraging people to continue to post that kind of thing. The way most threads go, the person gets banned for what they posted, and when say 14 posts out of the entire thread were theirs, there really isn't any reason to leave the thread there. If you have someone posting inapropriate stuff, you are also going to have a lot of people replying and quoting it. It would destroy the flow of the thread even if they took the time to delete certain posts.

It is easier to delete a thread than to read through say a 8 page flame fest and try to delete the offensive posts. When you got two guys moderating dozens of boards it would get pretty hard to sift through all of it.

LAWLZ, well even before tonight I was going to bring this up with someone from SOE. I remember reading their policy and it even stated that most unneccessary content would be locked, not deleted. That deleted threads would only be those that contain very harmful content. Too many times a thread has some content and gets deleted because of a select few.

And I agree, that is why I support locking threads that get out of control! That way people can still go and look at the actual content.
