I have seen many great discussions go down the drain because somebody will make a post that is off topic, and the moderator will lock it because of this.
Can't we just delete the posts that went out on a tangent or have a moderators note to get back on topic before we lock it down?
In addition, many people who are ridiculed for their posts (when they express behavior embarrasing to railfans, when they accused of being a terrorist or trouble-maker when they are trying to find specs for a route, etc..) just go ahead and make a new topic to explain the last and to defend themselves...
Also, can it be allowed for a person to send the moderator a PM asking to unlock the topic so they can explain why they did/said what they did/said? Will the topic be unlocked to avoid these repetitive threads?
thanks,

P.S. I am not trying to ridicule rr.net, the moderators, or the site administratprs, and am not trying to be like a patrolman or something. I just am trying to see if there is a solution to this annoying problem.
