Guest Bob Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 When a mod closes a thread can they make a final post themselves and leave a brief, succinct explanation for the closure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 They should be doing that anyway unless it is very obvious why a thread has been closed. Is there any example of where this isn't the case? If so, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Groupie Supreme Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I did wonder that. There really was no need for it to be closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I didn't close it but I'll leave this open for the moderator that did close to answer if they feel it nessasary to do so. Certainly it shouldn't have been posted in that forum though - it looks like very much more Wasteland material. Yes, I know it was an "event" but it wasn't one of any significance in my opinion - and certainly not one deserving enough to go into the calendar.

All I see is guidelines on how to make it one. Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum, I do try my best these days. Given the choice between the two I'd rather have posted in the wasteland because more people pay attention to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I closed it because it was nonsense and the date had passed anyway. It was a joke thread, that was pretty funny but didn't serve any real purpose and wasn't advertising a genuine event. I should have left a message explaining why it was closed but I forgot, sorry.
