WWW, that might make some sense if you actually MOVED the threads you padlock, but you don't... you leave them sitting in R&N with a padlock and then replicate them on the target forum. The explanation as to what you have done is not at all obvious, which is why we waste so much bandwidth on "why has my thread been deleted?" threads. At the moment, you will go to page two of R&N just as quickly as if you had never "moved" it in the first place! It is still on R&N, just not ALL of it.
Why not put a note in the index page as to where it has gone, that would make it easier for everyone- or just re-direct the target of the thread title?
As it is at the moment, it is illogical and confusing...
