Dec 23, 2012 at 14:30 comment added Manishearth Mod Yeah, a lot of people have an issue with that--the intention of this meta post was to get such opinions. Just a note: Remember that the email to the prof isn't something we are forcing on the community. It is just a suggestion. We cannot force them to email, neither can we stop them from doing it--though we can try to establish boundaries.

Dec 23, 2012 at 13:45 comment added Manishearth Mod Closing a q prevents answers, that's about it. (Though there are some other mystical internal things that happen). Locking a q prevents voting, answering, commenting--pretty much anything (except flagging) that can change the state of a post. We lock posts rarely (three reasons: due to a content dispute, due to too many comments, or if a good post is no longer considered on topic), but it never hurts to request a lock via a custom flag.
