Is It Closed??

[Jordyboy9]

If there is no answer question at the end of a post
Does that mean it’s closed and if so by whom and why?

[Cloverjo]

Yes.
By the Ed.
Usually because a thread has gone off the rails with insults etc. but there is enough useful stuff in there to be of interest.
I think.

[1ozzy]

Usually does Jordy and closed by a member of the editorial team, as to why, who knows.

Such is ;-/

[Jordyboy9]

Thanks for your input both of you 1ozzy I still think a whinging Pom Pom was meant for the English not the Scots,cheers

Preconceived ideas, "Ya moaning Hagis munching Scotty" ;-)

Cloverjo
Yes.
By the Ed.



Not usually the Ed.
More often than not a mod.

[Cloverjo]

I thought mods could zap posts, but not close whole threads. I could be wrong though.

[1ozzy]

On Answerbank we live in a twilight zone.

Lot's of theories but no one really knows how, why or what.

The Gnomes like it that way.

They can, with endorsement by Ed.

Why use the word 'endorsement'?

[dannyk13]

Endorsement, approval, what would you like me to put?

[1ozzy]

Because it's a cool word to use when passing blame.

Haven't you used it before?

[naomi24]

I get the impression that mods don't need anyone's endorsement to close threads. Often threads are closed, presumably by mods, at night only to be re-opened when the Eds start work in the morning.

[-Talbot-]

danny, what you actually mean then, is



They can

[Old_Geezer]

Oh endorsement means approval !
Waves driving licence around proudly.

[dannyk13]

OG. lol

[1ozzy]

Don't wave it around too proudly OG.

Some Plod, with endorsement from the powers that be, may take it away one day.

Keep your head under the parapet ;-/
