Why was happy's thread closed?
 

I'd email a mod but I'm not sure which one to email since there was no 'smoking gun' left in the thread to explain why its closed.

I'm sure this thread will be closed too, and that's fine, but if you expect people to email you in regards to a questionable decision about a thread, you oughta leave your mark.

Yeah, I don't quite understand how the "ask jack/jules/hotaru thread" can stay open but not mine.

I must not be cool enough. :rolleyes:

I was wondering about that, too... I don't think it deserved to be locked. Please unlock that thread.

That one was closed.

open it!!! I want the pics :D

I agree. If a thread is closed, there should be an explanation. I see "Ask whoever about whatever" threads all the time. I was just posting to that thread again, and then boom! locked. Why?

Re: Why was happy's thread closed?
 

You ought to wait long enough for a mark to be left.

For what reason, X? When did we start closing "Ask ... " threads?

I had about 6 pics ready to go when they closed the thread. Too bad that it's okay for OTHER people to have these threads and not me. :rolleyes:

Re: Re: Why was happy's thread closed?
 

I waited about 2 minutes and saw nothing.

the "I'm drunk, look at me" threads are kind of annoying, I can see why they would be closed...just my opinion :)

Re: Re: Re: Why was happy's thread closed?
 

Well excuse me your highness.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Why was happy's thread closed?
 

Don't take me in the wrong tone -- I'm merely trying to figure this out, not trying to start s**t.

In the past I've seen the reason and then the lock, but not the lock and then the reason. I waited for a reason but thought one wasn't coming, hence my creation of this thread.

About a week ago. You can do a search and let us know if we missed any. I know I closed one today, someone else closed one this morning I believe. Several had been closed previously.

Can she start another thread stating "pics of happycamper/DTSC/etc..."??

Mr. X sir would it be ok to start a new thread, a poll acutally, which swimsuit looks best on happy? :D

Yeah, because I do them all the time. :rolleyes:

More like a joke thread since everyone else can have these "hey, look at me threads" and the "ask so-and-so about absolutely nothing" threads.

But it just makes it look like other people get special treatment here.

X, please don't feel like I'm attacking you or anything, but I'd just like to raise this question: what is wrong with those types of threads? They are fun conversations that anyone can participate in, and they haven't been getting out of control or anything in Other. One will show up every now and then. It's not like they've been taking over the forum. You may see it as padding, but I don't see how it's padding. People are posting and responding with content, not simply one word responses that have no context in the framework of the conversation. What is wrong with these threads?

I would have no problem with something other than an "Ask ..." thread. Believe me, I didn't want to close this one. But there have been some really inane ones closed and then every single one that doesn't get closed triggers an angry email to mods from a previously closed attention seeker.

You are so wrong. Please review the "Ask ..." threads over the last few days and let us know where we missed one.

Allright, happycamper, you can start a thread with different title besides "ask any question" or "I'm drunk". Go ahead.

Furthermore, there was no reason at all given in Jack/Hotaru/Jules thread. It was just closed. If new rules are going to be enforced, then it should be noted in the thread at least for a little while. You can't close one thread, post the reason in it, and then close the future threads expecting us to all know why. It takes a little while to get used to new rules.

That being said, I'm not a fan of those threads anyway and usually don't bother reading them to begin with. I was just curious why, in this instance, it was closed.

I could have sworn I closed that one. I sure intended to, must have got interrupted.

No worries.

Are "association" threads of all kinds also not allowed now? Because frankly, there's a lot more to offer in any of the "ask" threads than will ever be offered in the "association" threads.

Sorry X...I won't let it happen again.

Then again, I've never done it before.

Hey, cool has nothing to do with it. If you look for that jack/jules/hotaru thread, you'll find that I closed it just as X closed this thread. Over time, the threads along the lines of "ask xxxx" have become too much like the personal commentary threads of old that we worked so hard to eliminate. Anyway, don't take it personally... we try to be "equal opportunity" when it comes to thread management. :)

Those seem more like 'padding' threads than anything else. The 'ask' thread at least seemt to be somewhat entertaining and you may learn something about someone else in the meantime. But oh well.

We were kind of hoping the "association" threads were dying off. Moderators feel the same as you do about them.

No, Dead, there is no reason listed as why that thread was closed, which is why there's confusion here. I'm sure if it was made apparent that there was a new rule to everyone (maybe a separate thread saying "Hey, no more "ask ..." threads") then happycamper's thread wouldn't have existed and had to be locked and we wouldn't even be wasting our time discussing it in this forum either.

Ok... I apologize. It just seemed that certain people could get away with threads like those when others couldn't. Upon checking, I did notice that that thread was closed. I was just trying to have some fun. Sorry.

Would you just start another thread and make it a little less "attention whoring"?

Yeah, what the hell am I doing in this forum anyway??? :confused:

It's so much fun when you do something to one person of a "couple". No wonder cops consider domestic disputes to be the most dangerous for them.

I don't know, but I tell you what -- X owes you a couple drinks sometime for being a buzzkill for you tonight. :D

Just to clarify...

Would a thread titled..."HEY!!! Look at some pics of me because I'm bored" be better? :)

I thought the mods made it pretty clear that drunken threads weren't cool along time ago. X also posted in one of the "ask" threads recently that enough was enough when he closed it. Oh and...

Note that I said it was closed, not that there was a reason given for the closure. I specifically didn't make an additional post to that thread because it was falling from the top and I didn't want to force it back with an additional post. Simply put, I was hoping that I could close it and watch it fade away. And, if not for the events of tonight, it would have done so. But, you can't ever really know what's going to happen next... if I could go back in time, I assure you that I would make a post explaining why it was being closed! :)

Well, I must have missed that post. Must not have been a 'sticky'.

X--

DAMN_you for making me laugh in JCJF10's thread!! :)


Sorry folks. No more pics of HC to give you nightmares tonight. Ah well. Maybe some other time.

Yup, that is pretty much what I was gonna post... Drunk Post=Sober Up Some First Before You Post...

and the "Ask 'blah' " posts have been done to death and don't ever seem to go anywhere...

Moo.
