Although the only reason to lock it seemed to be Stue (DC) so in the future I find a temporary muting of the offender to be better than locking for 5 days.
Muting happens at 50 points; a moderator can only give someone 20 points a day, although Tom can give however many points he wants.
Also, it was the Magistrates doing the moderating, and all they can do is thread maintenance in this subforum, not give points. They did do a good job though.
