I agree with this idea.
Auto-Unfollow locked threads

Thank you so much for your feedback @MariasWhiteKnight, we truly appreciate you taking the time to share it.
In case you would like to elaborate a bit further on this specific scenario, were there any particular issues that have arisen from following locked threads?
I'd assume you would only get a notification one last time since the thread is then locked, and after clearing it you wouldn't get any other notifications on it, that's why I'm trying to understand it just in case I'm missing any further details.

I think they just don't like having the thread listed in their "Following" section as it takes up space from threads they actually want to keep following or not.

Oh that makes sense

I'm sorry to return to this old thread but I still have four threads under my tracked topics which got locked and I still see no way to remove them from my tracked topics.

Hey @MariasWhiteKnight!
If possible, could you please reach out to our Support team at https://www.chess.com/support and describe the problem in detail, they'll happily assist with resolving that issue for you.

Thats just an AI and its super unhelpful, because it just sends me the instructions to unfollow regular threads in a loop.

Anyway thank you for trying to help.
Please allow auto-unfollow of locked threads, or at least offer the option to unfollow locked threads.
Right now thats not possible. Its locked, it stays in your followed thread list forever.
