Close / Lock Threads

I think moderation should use close thread option for some of the threads.
For example; Dubai Contest application has ended, yet people are still trying to participate.
As notification settings are very limited (i.e.there is no way to discard single thread), I am still getting notifications from that thread.

I agree, some threads clearly have a finite lifetime. I would also suggest that the beta labs forums for devices that don't currently have beta labs open, and the developer preview forum, could also be closed for now. Maybe these ones could be archived, so they are read-only, then in future when these programmes reopen we can have new forums open specific to that particular beta.
