Seriously. Any thread that goes against the great, perfect will or consensus of the clearly omniscient devs gets insta-locked. This one probably will too, with an excuse of keep threads in the appropriate place or something.
Examples: (and for the almighty Seed's sake [think about my name CS people] these are examples, not actually discussing them or their contents)

Guy posts a letter of why he doesn't like changes. Locked.
EDIT
removed since apparently I had a case of grab-everything-you-can-possibly-cite and used something that I actually don't agree with. Derp.

Thread about OOO insta-locking threads. Locked for "discussing test server" stuff even though it never actually did but merely discussed OOO's actions and the reasons why the test forum exists.
And of course the countless threads meant for actual discussion of ideas moved to die in Suggestions.
Meanwhile OOO breaks their own rule by allowing these to remain open despite there being specifically instructed threads for these already:

OOO has already told everyone to post this crap in one of two threads. But of course people have trouble following instructions, though. If they don't go against OOO's set in stone master plan, though, they get passes to live on without getting locked. There are plenty more examples, these are just the most recent and easiest for me remember the dates xD
Again, this has nothing to do with those threads, their contents, or the test server. This is about OOO's double standards and lack of an ability to publicly accept community criticism.
Do you agree? Am I crazy like your grandpa? Speak your opinions please, before this gets locked anyways.
They will do as they please anyway, so it doesn't matter what they close. Besides, it would be best to have all negative feed back localized so they can look at it all at once. They have no need to localize or even relocate pats on the back.
Regarding the unlocked threads, maybe they just missed a few or got tired of locking. Fact of the matter remains that people giving feedback should post in the feedback section.
