some people do that but the best way to go about it is to let the thread die once its done just dont touch it any more and it will vanish by itself

This happens when a user does something illegal in the thread, and a user sees it and knows a mod is going to close the thread soon, so they say spam and say lock.

For example, if a user posts up cd keys for trade or some illegal trade like that, obviously it's just a matter of time until a trade mod comes to close the thread, so the user calls lock to basically call out the user before a mod comes and closes it.

They have no closing powers at all on the site.

but it doesnt work for everyone... y?


what do you mean? typing the word "lock" doesnt do anything.

Mods will close a thread if something illegal is done in it, that's all.

It doesn't mean anything, it means that another user saw the thread creator do something illegal. It'd be like if you were in class and a student said, "That guy is cheating!" and the teacher went and gave the cheating kid a detention.
