I totally see where you're getting at here. Sometimes, a thread gets locked way too quickly, and there are a few points I would like to clear up. For example: Someone was trying to sell an MC account on the forums, I replied saying it wasn't allowed, and another account copied my response. Someone thought it was my account, but before I could clarify, the thread got locked. I think locked threads should be separated into two categories: Threads where the question has been hastily answered and there is no need for a discussion, and others where a discussion could take place, or some misconceptions could be cleared. The 24 hour thing could apply to the latter.
