Apologies, I did not mean to imply that the set of [dead] posts was "the news".

Apologies, I did not mean to imply that the set of [dead] posts was "the news". Rather, I understand and appreciate the moderation strategy as it applies to discussion. That said, there's a subset of intellectually stimulating news that also happens to not be great discussion material. In the hypothetical where there's some important news that warrants being seen but you know the discussion would be impossible, why is there no option to just lock the discussion? Again, this is a hypothetical where the* news is deemed intellectually stimulating, important, or otherwise deserving* to be shown. I trust you have a reasonable answer, I just didn't see it in your comment. I respect the efforts you put in and the wonderful place it carves out on* the internet. Thank you! Edit: edits
