    Thread Closing

    Am I the only one who thinks the closing of threads is a bit excessive? I was getting useful information out of one my threads and now it is closed because it apparently was "off topic" I read through the thread and I didn't feel like it was off topic at all. I get it when there is an argument going on but if simmers are talking among themselves and staying relatively on topic, I don't see the issue.

    I was looking for the open thread on this topic but I could not find it. FYI before this gets closed too *sigh*.

      If a thread is particularly useful to you, you can always bookmark it, either on this site or on your web browser. You can still read a thread that's been closed for further comments, so long as the thread isn't deleted.

      I thought it was within reason. It does look like the discussion went off topic, and since the main concern behind it was already addressed a couple days ago...

      And yes, this one might also get closed because discussing moderation is against the forum rules

      Unfortunate that it was closed, but my guess that too much off topic arguing was seen and it was decided nothing constructive could be added anymore.

      What is this place now? What a ridiculous rule.

      Well, no. You can't be a guest in someone's house and then criticize their housekeeping... so to speak. Cheers.

      Every forum I've ever been on has had the same rule. Otherwise you'd have people making topics endlessly about why they got banned, or why their post was deleted, or why their topic was closed.. which not only bogs down the atmosphere of the forum, but also isn't constructive because it's not going to reverse the decision that was made.

      I've disagreed with some of the thread closing decisions, like the "we care" thread that got closed a while back, I thought it was harmless. But honestly it's not my forum to moderate.

      This rule has always been in place from the beginning of this site.

      Hey folks,

      As mentioned - threads discussing moderation or actions by the moderators aren't allowed so I am going to have to close this discussion.

      As a quick edit - If anyone has questions about how we moderate, feel free to send us a direct message and we'll be happy to clarify.
      ~my hair color is frequently changing, so my Sim reflects that~
