Isn't four locked threads of the last 8 threads posted just a little 'over-moderated?

Just an observation. Four of the top eight threads here are now locked. Not my call but all appeared to more or less "fit" here. If there is little interest in a thread it will die and disappear soon enough.

As the 'Star Alliance Silver promo' (note the words 'STAR ALLIANCE' ) already has had 2 or 3 threads on it in the UA forum, my view is moving these often creates and not solves problems. Understandably at times, the Moderator/s of one Forum are not aware what where they are moving is already boring old news to the 'new' Forum. And surely HERE is where it ideally belongs as much as UA?

And questions about a Star Alliance rtw award being moved to LH forum where the thread poster still does not his answer is also an interesting move.

Moderation of the smaller Forums is new, and understandably everyone is on a learning curve. But over-moderation is not always popular:
