    Frustrated by locked exam threads
    Is twelve hours really necessary? The time when you need to discuss the exam the most is right after it, not the following day. Im an international student and I have exams finishing at 8 o' clock in the night to prevent timezone cheating. I'm sure all the other schools have to stick to the same times because if they dont, students will anyway cheat through other sites. Locking the threads seems a bit redundant

    It's instructions given to TSR by the exam board, not a policy made by TSR.
