Do Some Threads Get Closed Down

[emmie]

not taken out as such, but i just tried to put an answer on
one thread and there is no answer box, or is it just me......

[Mamyalynne]

I know, I'm considering beetling off to join an unmoderated site.

[Baldric]

We would miss you Mamya, you contribute so much.

[kvalidir]

There was no need for that thread to be closed or moderated, no-one got out of their cage, it's a little ridiculous what can and can't be posted now. Might join you Mamy.

[hereIam]

But only yesterday kval you said you were not going anywhere ..!

[Mamyalynne]

If only I did Baldric, I wouldn't you know.

Did not see the title pre an Edit (which Mods cannot do btw) but it got sorted, a bit of a hoo haa over nothing really.

[sanmac]

I still check in a few times a day to see what's going on; however, I have lost interest in posting, especially in NEWS.

[kvalidir]

Quick clarification HIA, I wouldn't be leaving because someone told me I ought to, but because the site no longer facilitates my use of it, those are two entirely different things. I anticipate I won't be using the site as much anyway shortly as I will be doing other things and after that next year extremely busy I imagine but the only reason I'd leave is if I became unhappy with the site itself, not to gratify other people who would rather see me gone x

[Sqad]

Mamy....don't ever consider going....you and Buenchico are AB .
If idle chit chat and Google links with crosswords and puzzles disappeared AB, as it is called, would disappear.

[hereIam]

Makes no difference what the reason is kval ..

It's uncanny how many threads get closed and sometimes actually disappear when a mod has made a total. - beeeeeep - of themselves.


Let's return to the subject before this thread gets closed down...then as if by magic................

[Mamyalynne]

I am adept at a link, that's true - even if it is totally irrelevant at times :-)

I'm very trying.

Yes, Kval your life will take over, but never forget us.

One of my favourite embroidery sites has moderators.... Mostly to deal with the antipathy between the counted cross stitch brigade and the freehanders who consider the counters the paint by numbers brigade. Dead nasty the world of embroidery

[Mamyalynne]

Threads being closed is the subject.

[rowanwitch]

Well that was sort of about threads being closed, or fastened off as we call it

[Mamyalynne]

Moderation on some sites is quite vicious Rowan I quite agree.

[ferlew]

Rowanwitch, not just the embroidery community, should see some of the nastiness on my parchment forums, and I thought it was such a gentle art too!

Yes very sad, it was once one of the most popular categories, but one can now see, quite a few regulars have now gone on to pastures new.

[jackthehat]

With some threads it is obvious why they have been closed to further traffic....others, not so much.
When threads have been re-opened it is also usual to be able to tell what happened to them when they were unavailable.
Some threads seem to be briefly closed to allow them to be pruned in an orderly manner.
As Chris has indicated there are decisions that have been passed down from the Editorial team to the Mods so they are only carrying out their duties as instructed.

I cannot, for the life of me, see why some people get so bent out of shape by 'management decisions' on this forum.

[retrocop]

I’m very appreciative of management decisions and I can’t be straighter than that
