i think after a certain number of pages mods should NOT be aloud to lock the thread. i was having a great discussion in a forum w/ over 10 pages and a mod locked it because one font was derailing the thread going against the topic and calling me a troll. i did not say anything malicious towards the font at all. can we please get this under control because this is not right.
The general answers to your questions about why mods do what they do are in the Terms of Service, You can't discuss specifics here.

all i want is the thread unlocked. is it possible for mods to unlock threads?
Yes it is mechanically possible. You can discuss it with the mod for the forum in question. Whether the thread actually gets unlocked is within their discretion.
How do I become a moderator because I think that CD administrators should look into certain moderators because this is ridiculous and certain mods are biased..I understand if I post vulgar stuff but this is ridiculous and crazy to me to delete and lock my posting when I haven't done anything.
