my own opinion is that I leave all the administrative stuff ( what topics can be discussed, what threads get locked and why, who gets messages from the moderators for their posts...)up to the moderators. when I do have a problem because I noticed a thread was locked I will send a moderator of that forum to ask if they can tell me why that thread was locked. as for getting messages from the moderators about my posts...well I welcome that, I am a perfectionist at heart. i take their critiques of my posts as an opportunity to better my postings here. I never take it as negative thing.

my suggestion is if you have a problem with closed threads have a private discussion on them with a moderator who can explain why a particular thread was locked. theres usually a good reason why they have the rules that they do and usually a good reason why a thread got locked down.
