Instead of automatically closing a thread why dont they give the people or thread creator a chance to say why it should stay and not be closed?
I mean if it's REALLY bad and innapropriate it should automatically go but if it's questionable shouldn't they see what the person who created the thread has to say? Maybe they could come to some conclusion where the content in the thread had to be toned down but not closed.
Who agrees?

Re: Should moderators give people time to explain?
IF the right mods are chosen and have a perfectly good reason, than the closed thread does not need to be "explained". Plus, If you really need to explain anything, then that means that something poses as a problem, so the mods recognize that problem and fix it. If you REALLY want to explain anything, just PM the moderator with an explination, and if your explination is logical and benifits the forums for a good reason, then they should open it back up. not to mention 9 out of 10 times a mod tells you why it was in his/her best interest to close the thread.

If a moderator is in a position of closing threads for the wrong reasons and this is such a problem that is ruins your entire life (Yeah right) then perhaps it would be okay to explain things.
Otherwise, suck it up and move on. No closed thread causes me grief.
I disagree. the mods know whats appropriate and whats not. they can close at will and do so when its in the forums best interest. I recall times where warnings have been giving by our kmc mods to the posters to clam down or the thread would be closed. few times it has worked and the thread remained opened, most of those times that I seen though, the posters ignored or carried on as though no warning was giving. So why wait for explanation. our mods have lives that dont include the Internet and to take up time reading shit explanations would be stupid.
I think if they feel it should be closed then do it. the thread starter or posters can PM the why question later if its to heartbreaking and hard to understand.
1. yes it was rightly closed. No reason to open a thread questioning a mods abilities that way...or anyway for that matter. if you have an issue with her and dont think she is treating you or anyone fairly...PM RAZ.
2. lil b is very busy and isnt able to reply as fast as you might have wanted her too.
3. No reason for you to respond....case closed. to respond is arguing the point...use PMs for that.
If anything...MODs can explain their reasoning when they close a thread...which I seen done often. I don't think closing a thread should be something left to commitee.
