Mr. moderator you have just quoted in entry 60925-10 about transparency in locking system.
However, Its not transparent yet.
Everyone should have power to lock/unlock his/her blog because its their own choice whether they want a reply on their blog or not.
And secondly if they will have the power to lock it then they will feel secure that time employed by them in...
more... blogging will not be wasted due to harsh activities of some admin members who delete others blog when its against their view point.
So, admin members should be given authority to lock/unlock their own blogs and not of others.
Hope that necessary action will be taken in near future.
