I've thought this a lot lately. There's been a few unexpected closures... My football thread and the Japanese doll thread to name a couple.

I think my amazing thread was closed because a pretty nasty flame war started between some people.

If you had requested it to be closed or something, I would totally understand but a closing statement by a mod would be beneficial. I only saw a few childish remarks from Robbie and others. What's new there?

Ha. Now if someone adds the word Fatality to the end of that it would be amazing.

It's a fair comment, people might learn some rules in the process rather than being caught out by the same thing.

It would be nice if mods when closing threads would just chuck a post in at the ends saying "closed for....." (obviously change .... for a reason )

Shifty u been here for over 6 years and you've only just noticed this?

I think it's so ignorant they don't even write explaining why? If they did it would make there hard lifes so much easier as then people would most likely understand more and not repeat previous said post!

Dingbats!

I agree fully with the above, so come on Mods give us an idea when threads are closed, please.

Kids do dumbass things all the time, I know I did. I don't think it's appropriate that their dumbass actions get captured on video and become an internet meme, but that's just me. No idea which OCUK rule got broken here.

If I close a thread usually I add a comment as to why

There are undoubtedly a few reasons why that thread might have been closed. If you're desperate to know, drop me an email and I can look into it for you.

Apologies. It was me who closed it due it it needing to be in the youtube thread.

Also, it's not a youtube video.

Doesn't matter where it's hosted, the point is the same.
