I kind of get a kick out of seeing threads implode. Does anyone else explore a locked thread?

I’m drawn to them so I can see what happened. Like rubbernecking a traffic accident.
Depends how long they've been locked. Sometimes I've been following the action, but often not. I might want to find out who was acting out and in what way. But if they've been locked long enough to be cleaned up, I probably won't bother.
I don't actively look for them, no.
Occasionally, one I've been reading gets locked so I will check to see why although it's often hard to tell, as our wonderful mods do their best to keep things under control.

Sorry to all y'all who lost your street cred for having posts in a locked thread.

Pretty much following the rules that we all agree to when joining TalkBass will keep threads from being locked......
I guess I was late to the party.This thread was unlocked.

overall, i get a "kick" but lots of times i'm composing my post to a 'hot' thread and it gets locked before i hit "post." i think that's happened dozens of times. most of the time: i can't tell what locked the thread (what the tipping point was that got it locked). i caught on to the idea that mods might delete certain posts, thus: continuity is 'strained' or lost, and what remains is a 'gentle' thread with a locked ("no further replies") notice. per the OP: yes, i read them. if the thread title/OP draws me in = i'm there! rubbernecking?
I click with great excitement whenever I see the lock icon. I’m usually disappointed.
The cool thing about a locked thread is that I know that none of the threads below it have any new posts.
I usually just skip a locked thread. Exception would be if I recently posted there then find it locked, i’ll see if I’m on the official poopie list.

I think a new record was set today. Thank you mods.
