Has this ever happened: A mod reconsiders locking a thread and reopens it.
Thanks

Yep. In fact, not too long ago Euty locked a thread after a banned poster showed up in it under another name. I banned the new name (Euty’s a mod, and doesn’t have the tools to ban) and unlocked the thread to allow the discussion to continue.
I think that Euty was perfectly correct in locking the thread at that time, it probably prevented a nasty situation. And, of course, I think that I was right to re-open the thread after I’d taken care of the problem.
Certainly, Quasi. See link. http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=66622
