Erocker, my friend, you know that I am not one to cowtow to the flagilating demands and preferences of the user base of a forum. All must be kept in check, in order to maintain a structure that does not alienate nor ostracise any user for thier personal opinion.
However, it has always been (at least in the past) a TPU trait that as long as you had something to say that was not redundant to another thread, and not outside the bounds of what was acceptable, that you had a forum in which to speak. If threads are closed because previous threads were problematic, then a whole arena of discussion is censored.
I am not sure if this is the way to go. This forum thrives on dissenting opinion. The concept of a thread being "needed", is of course up to the discrection of the moderators and I will not make specific reference to any moderators actions, but I will state my concerns in this section as that is why W1zz placed it here.
Don't get me wrong, you are all doing a great job of policing the forums and this post is not singling you out, Erocker. I've noticed in the last couple of months a worrisome trend in several instances.
I do not have the access to the "lounge" to take this up there, so I can only use this section to take a step back and review and discuss what is happening.
