2 questions about these here boards - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Just a couple of quick questions. It's the moderators that decide to close a thread, right? I just wasn't sure how this works. Also, I've seen some threads that have been closed, and I didn't see any reason for it. What's the deal with that?

I've seen a lot of boards are closed when people get too out of hand with their arguments or language.

The moderator closed that thread in General Sitcoms (you might be referring to that one) because Solomon posted a fake schedule change and then got obnoxious on the posters who responded. I'm guessing anyhow.

Yeah, the moderator of the board decides.
And most of the time threads get closed because of fights, but they also get closed if the thread is too big or if it's too similar to another one already posted.

Thanks all. I figured why the Apr. fools one Will and Grace Rox was referring to is closed. There were a couple I've seen that I thought were okay otherwise--it must have been because there was already a similiar one or it was too large.
