I think that those threads were locked because technically they are not about
Bitcoin.
Dabs pinned this thread on local:
Non Bitcoin Posts/Threads will be Deleted.These threads are all about the forum and merits.
If I understand what Dabs meant by that thread correctly, then those threads you mentioned are actually off topic.
I do agree tho that the threads were helpful specially to newbies in our local that are looking for a clear guide on how things are supposed to be done in this forum.

Maybe we can keep these threads open if there will be a sub section on our local where we can discuss forum matters?
