My personal opinion is that if the "noob threads" (the ones with people asking questions) were just left open instead of lock 'n' ban then most of the community would be happy to answer the question anyway (which they can't do if it's locked) so dev's, mods etc. wouldn't have to spend their time locking the threads and/or answering questions... the SWG community is quite a helpful one when given the chance, that and people will always be willing to show how smart they are
