How many threads have you had locked?

Don't ask me why, but after yet another locked thread by Government Cheese a while back, I thought to myself, "how threads have I had locked?"   
 
I have had just 3 out of 287 threads lock, a mere 1% ratio.  I am not even in the ball park of Government Cheese, who had 29 out of 59 threads locked, an amazing 51% lock ratio. 
 
So, how good or how bad are you at making threads?  How many have you had locked?  What sort of reasons were they - repeats, fanboys bombarded them, spam  ........
 
I also had one completely deleted, so we won't discuss that one  (^_^)

MB just does not like me so if my thread is the tiniest bit wrong its locked or deleted .

I have had 5 out of 115 but about 2 of those I had asked for it to be closed since my topics usually go off the rails pretty quickly. 
 
This is why I usually just stick to posting in others and not creating topics unless I need to ask something.

Locked because they're all questions. I'm good!

Stop being controversial  :-)  It can be annoying when a thread takes a course you don't expect or gets stuck in some ridiculous argument.  I have had a few like that, but they usually die a natural death - death by boredom. "

Haha, I don't even want to bring up the two threads everyone probably knows about but those two days I had spent on a shitty rocky boat in the middle of the atlantic ocean with dial up like speed internet while I slept on the floor, it's like being on a drug and when I made those topics I FUCKED up big time, and I know I came off as a WTF GROW A PAIR WHINY INTERNET NERD kind of guy, but man I felt I needed to rant about something, I actually wanted to killmyself on that boat ride and thats no lie.  ***I make it seem like the boat ride was because of those topics I made, I meen I was on a actual ship which was very very shitty, if you had seen the movie The Perfect Storm then you know what I went through, it was fucking sickening*** So I'm trying to be a good boy from now on and make friends = D "

Sounds like a cool thread.  Sorry I missed it.    I think I did a thread once called "What have you stuck your finger in?".  It wasn't what you think, as mine was about sticking my finger in the spark plug hole of a lawn mower as my brother pulled the cord - shocking experience.  Suffice to say, much innuendo related to the title ensued.

none. but i haven't made many either. that's because i seldom have anything interesting to say, so i don't. unlike a lot of other people.

so i've noticed. and let me tell you, it's been extremely entertaining.
 
just think of the sweet chaos it'd be if these boards had no moderation.

Kinda looks like you're asking to raise that lock percentage there, oldschool. :P
 
As far as I know, 0%. But then, 6 topics or so over eleven months isn't that much.

" @oldschool:  Yeah but I think I made another one that got deleted by Hamz, Not quite sure what that one contained to tell you the truth,  Oh gowd, Nuxt Yup Modul, I jusst sut down in front of the tally and eat mi fush and chups,     No, No I do not, I don't have time for t.v Crickey mate, A dingo ate moi baybe  "

Wasn't this topic made a few days ago, and was locked? Something like this.
 
For the sake of discussion: I've only made a handful of topics, and only had one or two locked. I don't make that many topics anymore.

Make that two for you.

 
In all fairness, this one is going a lot better than that one, and that one had no real discussion points.  At least I am trying to flesh out what happens/happened. 

You need to get more active.

None apart from those I've asked to be locked.  
 
If I post a topic which is likely to incite a certain nature of commentary, that usually spirals into nonsense, in bold type I will ask fellow members to keep it civil and argue points well inside the OP.  It works, because those that don't abide by it just end up looking stupid and incapable of putting across good arguments.

I love the irony in that... asking me to get "more active" by spending more of my time posting on an internet forum. :P Replying to others' topics is good enough for me most of the time. No need to create new topics when everyone's made something for anything you could already. "

2/67; one for talking about modding, one for spam.

I appreciate the mods keeping this place free of crap, but I think moderation should be open for discussion. Not like some black ops thing that never happend and shouldn't be discussed.

or Burnt at the stake...

None, of course I have less than 40 threads started.  I tend to let other people come up with the topics then I leave my comments there.  I'm not very original and a bit of a lazy brain.  I always feel like I need to check back and make comments to other people comments in my threads.  Kind of like maintaining a garden.  So much work.  And, then on the rare occasions that I do think of something worth starting a thread for, I can feel rejected if no one else seems to care much.  Now I've gone and depressed myself.  Time to check the fridge for left over pie.

4/48 have been locked of mine. All with good reason.

4/60

1 was an accidental double post, another was because it went off topic (I dont think a thread should be locked for that) and another because another thread was made of the same topic.

Only one just because the topic already existed.

Only one or two. I don't make many threads of my own.

I've had one locked and that was because I asked for it to be locked. I don't post a lot into the forums, I just keep them in my blog.

But they're all in the Delete & Combine Requests board.

At least 20 I think.

I wouldn't know as I have been AWOL most of the time for about a month or so. 
 
What you lack in thread making you more than make up for in posting in everyone else's threads.  :-) 
 
EDIT: 
Found it: 
How many forum topics have you had locked?

3, but one of those was a completed Delete/Combine request, so locking is to be expected. 2 out of 227? not bad

I've made about 60-ish threads (that aren't blogs), and only four have been locked, mostly because of posting something already posted.
