The reason why I made this thread is to get an explanation why threads are getting closed. There was no announcement saying "All dumb threads will eventually get closed if they get too dumb." And seeing that this was a staff decision, I'm happy with the reason given.

No, because of the mention of the staff being behind the decision. When I ask, I expect to be answered with a straightforward answer, not be sidetracked with accusing me of trying to be staff. I asked why are more threads being closed in GC? If I'm answered, "Because they're dumb..." I am not satisfied. If I'm answered, "The staff's decision is to begin closing dumb threads to further prevent future dumb threads..." I would be more satisfied, knowing that it was a staff decision.

We close stupid threads so they will slip down the forum and be forgotten. We don't need to spend time discussing why threads were closed when the reason they were closed was to be forgotten.

I think threads in GC should be enjoyable even if they are stupid. The only proplem with threads in GC if you ask me is if theyre insulting. If you want a serious debate or a certain level of intelligence then id stick with Eyes on the world or each other but as I said, I think topics on a video game forum should be enjoyable more than anything else.

Sounds straightforward enough to me. Staff are in unison and that's something that I really shouldn't even need to mention everytime something like this comes up.

The only reason Leeza closes most of those threads is because she gets to them first. She's very quick, catlike, even. She, just like the rest of us, will bring up in the staff forum if certain types of threads should be closed, and hear the collective decision, before taking any action. For that reason you can safely assume that her, or any one mod's, actions in this regard reflect the will of the majority of staff.

An announcement was not made concerning this issue because they don't do any good (and actually RSL did make one a while back anyway). With the way people are today, it would probably encourage more nonsense. Psychology is such a wonderful thing.

Good to know you guys're cleaning up genchat. Maybe next month I'll look at more than 4 threads.

It doesn't to me. You never mentioned that it was a staff decision, and the way you sound made it that it was all your doing.

Well, it's safe to assume this from now on, Proto.
