Can moderators please state why a closed thread is closed?

Peanutuk · 06 July 2005, 16:08

Rather than just 'closed' (see). Then it might not happen again.

Thank you.

BippyM · 06 July 2005, 16:26

It's pretty obvious I think!!

AMIGAZ · 06 July 2005, 16:27

Didn't know we took Fred for being serious, lol

Peanutuk · 06 July 2005, 16:27

Well it's not obvious to me and it certainly wouldn't be obvious to those who don't have an anal knowledge of the board. I am making a valid point, it would be valuable to respect it as such.

06 July 2005, 16:30

It was not obvious to me either. Perhaps you can explain.

Amiga1992 · 06 July 2005, 18:56

It is not obvious to me either.

For once, Peanut's point is -valid-

Peanutuk · 06 July 2005, 19:00

How gracious of you. My point isn't exclusive to the example. I am merely worried at the prospect of threads being closed willy-nilly without explanation to the board at large. This happend before and after lots of pestering it stopped. I don't want to see the same mistakes happen again.

You know, for the good of the board....

Bamiga2002 · 06 July 2005, 20:57

Closed

Chuckles · 06 July 2005, 21:46

You left out "Because I can"

Quite useful, especially for people who weren't following these threads or newbies who read the threads a long time after.

Pictures like this have not their places here !
I have closed this thread the same way I had closed fred's gore pic in the past.

07 July 2005, 14:50

Are you serious that it was because of that mild picture? Then why didn't you remove it when locking? Still sounds strange to me.

RCK · 07 July 2005, 15:36

I feel that locking was enough to let this thread die.
I don't think that posting such pic and saying 'it's akira" is nice, even if it's supposed to be fun

Peanutuk · 07 July 2005, 15:52

As admin the choice to close a thread is yours but the reason why should be made clear for all users. Thanks for providing an explanation. Hopefully if threads are closed in the future an explanation will be provided without any prompting.

It does seems that worst things have been said without closer. In off-topic where is the line?

Fissuras · 08 July 2005, 01:49

Botton line is: Fred can't be left free or he takes over eab.

fisken uno · 08 July 2005, 04:43

Man, I guess I'm not around enough to have a say but what's up with all this whining?

08 July 2005, 07:53

Locked.
(fisken banned)

and raped.

I'm agree, and mods will try to explain why a thread is to be closed in futur

08 July 2005, 12:34

If a thread is closed without anyone noticing, is it really closed... or ever existed?

Peanutuk · 08 July 2005, 12:50

Isn't that like the tree falling in a forest? If no one sees or hears it does it happen? Unless it falls on fisken, then the answer is obviously no.
