I see you (presumably) have now locked a thread where there was a threat by someone to do so if things didn't stay on his topic. Good, all that remains is for the power to lock being made yours alone. IMO.
On a related issue: surely, going off topic shouldn't be grounds for locking by anyone? Can't anyone say anything, relevant or not? That's how it works in pubs. Imagine a garrulous opinionated individual in the corner objecting to contributions he alone deemed irrelevant! It was like that in the White Lion, Bridgnorth years ago and trust me it wasn't good.
