1. When a thread gets locked I think there should be modtext at the bottom of the thread that reads: "locked at _____(date/time) by _____."
2. When a thread gets moved to a different forum I would like to see modtext that says: "moved from _____ to _____."
Thank you for taking my suggestions into consideration.

EDITING #2:
Originally, I requested that moved threads should have modtext stating "moved from _____ to _____." But really, the only necessary modtext here is "moved from _____." The "to" part need not at all be mentioned in the modtext (because that information is already available to anybody who can view the thread). The number of mods who do the exact opposite of this is shocking.
There are number of standard practices that unfortunately are not adhered to consistently, & one of our major projects is setting them all out for staff.
I notice that when I made these suggestions 10 days ago there seemed to be some agreement among staff members that these were good suggestions but then nothing came of it. I still see many threads being locked without any information as to who locked the threads or why and I still see many threads being moved without any information about where they were moved from (oddly enough, I always see mod text stating where the thread was moved to, which information is already transparent to anyone who can view the thread.)

Here are some examples I found by browsing the first two pages of "Magic General" just now:

If you could provide examples of this, it would help us immensely.

I will make sure these are on the list!
