reefnjunkie Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) FWIW (and I may be mistaken but I don’t believe so 😂) If you have a thread you want closed, the process is reporting the thread and in the “report” ask for the thread to be closed. If I was a mod that’s how I’d like it done and us a collective group hoping the mods read every single post to every single thread looking for the request to close I know mods have nothing better to do than peruse “your post/threads” That's my unsolicited tip of the month Edited June 14, 2020 by reefnjunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailermann Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Looks like a good suggestion, but I wonder how does a person report the thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 FWIW (and I may be mistaken but I don’t believe so [emoji23]) If you have a thread you want closed, the process is reporting the thread and in the “report” ask for the thread to be closed. If I was a mod that’s how I’d like it done and us a collective group hoping the mods read every single post to every single thread looking for the request to close I know mods have nothing better to do than peruse “your post/threads” That's my unsolicited tip of the monthCurious of the benefit of actually closing a thread. Obviously it prevents people from posting in them. If a user can't read that a thread is finished, I guess they can waste their time in posting in it [emoji6]. We'll certainly close the requested threads, but this is an issue I've often wondered about. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it is basically reading every thread and looking for the “please close” post - which is mostly what happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadAShark Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I don’t really see the need to close threads the majority of the time. If we must be OCD about it, a “close thread request” button could be available. Alternatively just give the thread creator the power to close their own threads. Nonetheless, unless there’s some weird memory leak issue or something serverside that actually requires you to close threads (due to some unspeakable spaghetti code), I don’t see the point.
