Removal of Locked Topics
With the immense amount of locked topics resulting from spam in the Colosseum, would it be possible to move them to another thread? Possibly one for that specific reason? We have an archive for older posts, how about one for locked war topics or locked topics in general? Its becoming quite hard to find anything up to date with with so many locked topics at the top of the page.

Lock only those with less than 5 total posts, in stargate wars general, galactic colloseum, race sections etc
Big threads locked haven't to be locked, same goes for those with over 1 page!
Fair and reasonable opinion I have, we get rid of worst, and keep old stuff from history, what has interest...

No, not just those with less than 5, any locked topic. There are at this moment 17 locked topics in the Colosseum thread alone. I have neither the time nor the inclination to add all the locked topics up.
I'm not advocating deletion, just movement after a set (and hopefully short) timeframe. Move them to a public, read only dump, and let them be. This way they are still available for reading, quoting and what not, just not cluttering the current forum convo.

However, only mods and up can post there, but its viewavle to registerd members.

The dump is often used to remove things that are not meant for public veiwing. Thats why its not made public.
@ Homer I completely agree.

reason for not having one public and one nonpublic is that it is much easier to simply move all such threads to one place...
and the reason it is hidden is that most bots are moved there, and some threads made by bots are harmful... (I.E. link to some virus...)
