Thread locks for no stated reason
In the past month or so, I've seen quite a few threads locked with no stated reason. WHile I recognize the right of the mods to lock threads for any and all reasons, I believe that when a thread is locked, there should be at least two words explaining why, even if the explanation is only 'user request' or 'felt like it'. Otherwise people may think that a thread was locked unjustly even if the Mods had a real reason for locking the thread.
Just an Idea, maybe it should go in 'suggestions' but its a moderator situation, whatever.

Sometimes, there's no need to even lock a thread, when the reason is quite obvious, therefore no comment is needed, but most of the time, we do comment in it when it is locked, if the reason isn't obvious to outsiders.
Moderators don't lock threads just because they feel like it. If a moderator does it, it's probably justified.

You have another thread here in Moderation for it, so there's no reason you had to bring it into this thread as well.

So you'd like an explanation for every single thread that's been locked without a reason? We have reasons for locking some threads based on information we've found. Frankly, we don't have to share all of our information with you. Is that too inconvenient for you?
Certain information is only available to the player in question, and won't be available to the general public. Nobody else needs to know that info.
