Not sure where to put this.

I might be alone in thinking this, but I believe the board is being seriously over moderated. Not pointing my finger at any one moderator, but it seems every day threads are being closed for stupid reasons.

Case in point, BB's for those who think woosha is a crab. Why was it closed? Because it was going no where? Let the posters decide that. If the thread wasn't generating interest and replies it would have died on its own.

Another one was a thread being merged with an older thread on the same topic. If its two threads on the same topic being discussed simultaneously, fair enough. But don't merge a current thread with a thread of 1 or 2 weeks ago which has died.

The whole point of a forum is for posters to discuss and debate topics. If a topic has been done before, so what? If a thread has two opposing views rehashing the same old arguments, so what?

Please mods, let things go. Let us posters get things off our chest, even if we sound like broken records. Let us decide which threads are worth posting in and which ones should disappear.

Only time a thread should be closed is if its a troll, has gone completely off topic or involves people calling each other names and not discussing the topic.

You answered your own question. When people create a thread to rehash arguments from other threads we tend to put a stop to them. We are just saving ourselves work down the line.

Cop out response. BB's thread was just fine. And its not the first thread closed unnecessarily.

Let threads moderate themselves. If its a dud topic the thread will die anyway.

There should be a rule that if you resurrect a dead thread, you get banned for X days where X is the age (in years) of the thread. Would stop this inane offseason bumping rubbish. :p

Hang on, the Eagle Eye thread and question was legit. Are we not encouraged to search for (see below) a thread and use it?? I don't see what the date created has to do with anything.

As long as it isn't based on the age in years of the poster

I'd be ****ed

You need to read the rules mate:

Check out #3. If we don't post in an active thread about the topic then we are posting inconsistent with the very rules we are told to abide by!
