I don't see any issues with locking threads that have become irrelevant or inflammatory because there's nothing to be discussed at that point, imo.

Sorry I think you missed the point, I specified a civilised conversation for this exact reason.

I think it's important to realize that if you were in the shoes of the 'other side' you wouldn't see a lot of the points being made as civilized. This is not to say that it doesn't go both ways either, mind you. At what point do you recommend something be shut down and moved away from if people are being argumentative rather than holding discussion? I'm not trying to be disrespectful here by any means, just curious to what you think that line is.

My recommendation is basicly the level of care I personally always put into every situation.if it's not sensitive data, not something that's going to harm another users reputation that will alter ones life, and not one of the subject matters that we don't allow being handled publicly such as pornographic imagery, minor manipulation, gore and so on. Then it doesn't fall under the Admins only category of handling what is happening. As for the completely irrelative subjects, that ones a bit gray and really depends on the situation when it comes to how one handles that. The only other time really should be at the request of a party involved.
