  Please give urls to forums that have been locked without enough information, I'm not looking for a list of locked forums, I already have that, but instead a list of priority forums where this is a problem. Thanks

  Is there any priority around which of these is more of a problem than others (from your perspective)?

  Yes the windows event and network QOS forums are of higher priority but I do see posts about Server Core and Windows Ribbon scattered. 

  Could you just add a link to the catch-all forum for those forums for the time being before you get feedback from forum owners? 

  Also the Windows Live category on social.microsoft.com needs to be archived ASAP and directions needs to be added to direct users to windowslivehelp.com, there are too many misguided post in the new-defunct Windows Live Writer forum because support engineers on answers.microsoft.com suggest the category as the place to ask Hotmail/Windows Live Mail questiosn.

  Most of the forums here have updated descriptions explaining they are locked, so yes.
