Not sure which forum to post this in. Is this the right one?

I am just wondering about this.

I’ve noticed in the past that this thread is always locked, yet updates keep getting posted in it.
I’m not sure if there are other threads like this, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

I thought that you can not make a new post in a locked thread. Is there something I’m missing? Is a game developer able to do this in their game’s forum?

Forum mods can do that.

Kingk isn’t a forum mod.

Seem to remember he was in the Dream World forum, ’least that was the case in 2010. Maybe they just gave him some of the abilities of one.

Developers have forum mod powers in their own game’s forum.

What they do is unlock the thread, post immediately, and then lock it again. It’s very likely you won’t be looking at the topic the instant they are posting. And yes, developers are forum moderators in the forum of their own game.

I don’t know why he isn’t listed as one of he moderators of that forum, but yeah he has power in that forum because he is the dev.

Same goes for example for Tukkun in the Anti-Idle: The Game forum.
