What causes threads to be locked in WL?

The list:
Posting about locking threads, leads to a thread being locked.
Probably that Lock Thread button that the Mods have.
Power hungry mods
Offseason boredom

Others? I will update OP as they are added.

This about sums it up

General Rules

* We encourage debate and lively discussion. However, we will not tolerate hate speech, personal attacks, racism, disparaging remarks about others' sexuality, insulting posts, purposeless inflammatory posts, or other actions that degrade the site experience for other users. Please treat other people with respect, including the mods and administrators of this site.
* General trolling will not be tolerated. Unconstructive threads created with no other purpose but to complain or incite flaming will be locked or deleted.
* Please refrain from cursing/swearing excessively.
* Do not create threads to complain about the actions of another user. If you have a problem with another user, please contact a moderator or customer support.
* Spamming, such as posting similar or the same thread over and over, or adding completely offtopic posts over and over to an existing thread, is not allowed.
* Please refrain from posting meaningless one-line posts, such as "IB4L," "wat," or "fail." If you want to post, please contribute to the conversation.
* Please avoid "hook threads." This means threads that have titles such as "How do I..." or "What do you think of..." that are intended to bait other users into clicking on the thread.
* Do not post "quote pyramids." This means posting quotes of other quotes multiple times in order to try and stretch out the page.
* Please wait a reasonable amount of time before "bumping" a thread, such as waiting until it reaches the second page.
* Please do not "bump" threads that are old, such as threads that are past the second or third page. Threads bumped in this manner may be locked.
* Please post recruiting threads in the proper section. Threads posted in the wrong section will be moved, and repeated offenses will result in a suspension of posting privileges.
* Do not post links to sexual content or pornography. Keep it PG-13.
* Discussion of illegal activity, including warez links, pirating music and other copywritten materials, and cybercrimes are not allowed.
* Discussing and/or planning spam or hack attempts on this site or any other site is not allowed, and will result in posting suspension or a forum ban.
* Do not post the content of Private Messages from other users without the user's permission.
* Do not share build or tactics information about a team or another player without the permission of the team owner or player's agent.
* Creating another thread to discuss or ask why another thread was locked, deleted, or moved is not allowed. The additional threads will be locked or deleted as well.
* Do not create threads asking why other users were suspended or banned. That information is private between the administation of the site and the user who was suspended.
* No threads about how people's teams should be taken away.
* No threads about how people should have been allowed to transfer leagues.
* No "Look, Another Team Got Gutted" threads.
* No Farm Team Threads.
* No Threads in the wrong forum.
* No Counting threads.
* No Profanity in thread titles.
* No "Poll Threads."
* No "Mods/Bort please look at this!" threads.
* No "Selling my team/Player" threads.
* No "How to Cheat" threads.
* No "The Game is Broken" threads.
* No "Give me FPs" or "When do we get our FPs" threads.
* No "Blank" threads (not having a title or a post in it).
* No "Who will lock this" or "Will this get locked" threads or anything similar.
* No "Worthless threads," i.e. "Miller Test Here" threads.
* No "Blog threads" - GLB isn't the place to seek attention like that.
* No Posting "real life" information of any member, including pictures, without their permission. This includes images and info taken from the member's MySpace, Facebook, or blog page.
* We reserve the right to remove or edit any objectionable posts at any time, without warning.
* We also reserve the right to suspend or ban anyone who willfully violates the forum rules. Access to the public forum is a privilege, not a right. Suspended or forum banned users will still have access to team forums and private forums they have purchased.
* Please note that just because something goes by unmoderated does not mean it is within the rules. We try our best, but we cannot be everywhere at once, and some posts may slip by unnoticed.
* Please note that just because something is not listed here, does not mean it will not be eligible for moderation. We are attempting to maintain a clean and fun environment for all users. Attempting to find loopholes in the rules to "get away" with things does not help promote that sort of environment.


Any threads or posts that violate the above rules will be deleted or locked, and the offending posters will receive warnings and/or suspensions/bans depending on past history and severity of the infraction. Suspensions in the forum or chat room will result in suspension from both.
