Personally I think anyone who quotes the word coward in any of their debates are inviting flames. Please refrain from insulting your fellow users with such words.

I'll rephrase, although I think it's appropriate. Deleting threads seems to be a defense mechanism when you're beloved idea is going the wrong way.

You just shut off discussion, your thread is the shining example of "ouch my feelings hurt bye guys i'm signing off instead of arguing my case." Note that that's just the general feel I have from the reason most threads are closed.

I'll post my opinion on the matter over there.

i argued my case for a few pages and saw nothing new being added and closed. untill you went and actually gave input to the reopened one it was all the same ol' butt hurt WArs saying dont gimp this w/o reading anything.

That's what I mean about closing your own threads. When posting on these forums you have to sift through the many bad posts till you can actually get on board with something good.

I don't think threads should be closed rather than more closely moderated.

Closing the thread with out making that last post I wouldn't have reopened it, but making a smart comment then closing it invites people to want to reply. So you did the same thing as the trolls you were trying to cut off.

Well hmm. The option to close thread is still there for me.

Maybe threads from before this change are not affected.

Edit: just checked a thread I made and no option to close it

That's odd. I'm going to try to close this, then reopen it again of course. If it turns out I can't reopen it, then I apologize.

Well, I was able to close this thread, and reopen it. The option to delete the whole thread is there too. Really odd.

Why? It was the one power we had against the trolls and flamers from taking over our own threads. We just let the few who abuse this take it away from all of us.... IMO, it's a step back.

It was always a bad idea and did nothing if people ended the thread with a smart comment. If people wanted to keep it going they could just open another thread and start right from were it left off.

You can blame Alienmonkey and Bumbeen for taking that away from us, which is ok by me.

If it wasn't for them abusing that option, we would probably still have the option to close threads. So thank you you two.

I agree that it's a step in the right direction. No more debates being closed because someone doesn't like a little disagreement; instead, this is more where it should be, with moderators actually required to moderate the threads. If something goes wrong, or there's a troll, just report the post as offensive and it'll be dealt with. If someone disagrees with you, get over it. You have your opinion, they have theirs. A discussion board is just for that: a discussion.

Will be nice to actually be able to get more information or ideas from some of these threads.

Well... you know, if you don't bump "useless threads like this one", they will get pushed back off of the first page and then further and further back. Take a look at the General Discussion section of the forum. There are PLENTY of useless threads that's been posted, most of them a lot worse than this one.

Except mods still don't moderate. When people abuse the report button enough, people get banned for stupid things like "I disagree with you, and here is a list of reasons why without any discrimination or slander towards your name."

It prevents users like Alienmonkey from abusing it when he goes to sleep, just so he can reopen it when he wakes up.

Also deters people from making one post and close the thread so they can put their opinion, however stupid it is, out there and still have the last say in the topic.

By deleting the thread, nobody can read what is said. But deleting threads is still the cheap way to "save face" when discussions go against the original poster.

It was also being abused by said trolls and flamers, which is the main problem.

What they need to keep an eye on are the people who intentionally cause threads to be closed for their own petty amusements.
