Closing of threads and reopening them or just starting a new COED hobby related thread for all to enjoy and take part it!

Exactly what I was thinking!!!

Closing a thread is simply a way for a Moderator to avoid Moderating the forum.

If your Mods don't want the work that comes with the job they should get out of the way.

I think they call closing threads "Off The Reservation". (I see the MODS voted LOL)

This is the best thread EVER

SL -

You choices certainly are biased to get the results you wish to achieve.

I certainly don't agree with the decision all the mods make, but at times they must take action in certain circumstances. Plus it is not my board. I think if you have an issue with certain mods, perhaps you should report it higher up the food chain.

I am that "higher on the food chain". The MODS are doing a GREAT job. Its a thankless job. I for one certainly appreciate them stepping to the plate. Not many people around here would do that!

Intentionally, to get folks thinking about their personal views.

Also MODS are given the opportunity to serve us based on a consensus that they will be fair and know the guidelines not taking favorites. It goes without saying they would NOT be crooked or influenced by any one or free pussy. Plus most are good guys and you can poke at them every once in while as they realize they are just like the rest of us. If this is NOT the case it usually doesn't take long and they will be sent packing.

NOTE: I would have been a MOD years ago if it wasn't for that "free pussy" thing IJS

The Usual Suspects
Board members that bring nothing to the table except to troll and make smart ass off topic comments.

And Whispers checks in with a thread winning comment.
Maybe this board can get up to the same speed as some of the Texas boards.

Actually, at times I feel sorry for them as they have to read all the badly written reviews. And, I've always wondered if they should be allowed to hand out candy just for that as if they are grading an english paper.

But I do wish they would let threads run when an important issue is the core of the thread. After all it's rather easy to determine who in a thread is a complete azz. Perhaps triple word score points could be awarded in those cases

Let's be careful what we wish for IJS

Ah, SL, are you saying that you don't make open ended wishes?

I have found that open ended wishes that involve ....Well....
Sometimes it gets hazy and simply impossible to write reviews
And, issuing that wish again does occur.

But if we're actually talking about mods and stuff.
Perhaps mods wouldn't need to close threads if points were handed instead.
So would issuing candy be preferred over thread closing?
Thoughts?

Yes! Candy or Thread Closing!

More freely issue candy instead of a thread closing?

[i'va biggen]

Maybe they close them when they become tired of editing out (forbidden) subjects, and reminding to stay on topic. It saves them from passing out points.
