Are you referring to a specific thread?

Generally a thread that gets locked is locked for a reason... either it's a hotbed topic that shouldn't be discussed here, or it has the potential to go that route... or sometimes a thread will get locked because someone breaks a rule in it, or has asked a question to which the answer cannot be posted without breaking a rule. Or, sometimes a thread that is too far off topic will be locked, or perhaps it is just a re-hash of another current thread, asking a question that has already been asked, or so on.

I am fairly new to this board, but it is my experience elsewhere that it is rare to get a thread unlocked once it has been locked. If it was a thread you started, and you feel it was locked without a valid reason, you could try contacting a moderator by PM and asking about it. If they review it and find that it can be unlocked without issue, they may do so. But in general, locked is locked. AFAIK, anyway.

I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but it would be very unlikely i would think.

Think about it for a second; why is a thread locked in the first place? usually because it's got totally out of hand and people are arguing or something like that and nothing positive can come from it.

I don't think it would ever happen but it would be down to a board administrator.

Great news! :D It certainly is possible to unlock a thread - It's done by the same guy who keeps banning you over, and over, and over again.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Those of us that have been around here a while recognize him immediately.

To keep it simple, he mounted a viscious and unprovoked attack on one of the most senior and respected members of the forum. He was banned, but keeps coming back under various new user names. Several of us keep an eye out for him and he is reported directly to the admins.

In time you will learn to recognize him. Brad requests that prople not respond to him but report him immediately to:

ForumAdmin@Fender.com
