Maybe they need to keep the mods in practice closing threads and adding their
paraphrased text.
The entire guideline reads:
#12 - In our review forums, be mindful of the 'maturity' of threads you are posting to, ie. the date of the last item posted. We ask that you refrain from posting to a review in which the last post was made 30 or more days ago. Some exceptions may apply if you are providing relevant, valuable or updated information about the provider, but as a general rule of thumb, this can best be accomplished by writing a new review altogether and avoiding the bumping of old ones. This applies to our review forums, in particular, as discussion threads are often allowed to flow for an unspecified length of time.
In this Katrina thread, there was not any "
relevant, valuable or updated information about the provider", so the thread did get closed.
I have seen times where the original poster has provided new relevant on his own review - only to have an overzealous mod close the thread citing only the first two sentences, and forgetting there are four sentences to the guideline.
