I'm leaving for Vraja on October 5th, returning on November 18th. During my stay there, I will in all likelihood not be around as much as I usually would.
I do not know how much time our other moderators will have to screen through the topics and to help reguide problematic topics on a healthy course. Rasa and Braja will also be visiting Vraja sometime during Kartika.
I will therefore be exercising a policy of locking problem topics on sight, to be opened when a moderator finds the time to tend to them. (Jagat, Rasaraja and Braja, feel free to reopen if necessary.)
Thank you for understanding and for trying to keep everything as smooth as it's been in the recent months.
