[QUOTE="Darkness, post: 128536, member: 13"] I can't - and won't - speak for Piratecat or any moderator other than myself, but [b]I[/b] think that the thread that was closed was - IMNSHO - about a less worthwile (for the community, that is) topic than the others. YMMV, of course - if so, too bad! [b]"person X died, bummer"[/b] The death of a famous person is tragic to many. [b]the obligatory "Happy Easter" thread[/b] Like you said - it's obligatory. :D Seriously, though, threads of this kind are par for the course - you'll get them every year on every message board of a certain size. And why not? Easter is part of the culture (if not religion) of most of us here, after all. [b]a "Daves" thread[/b] They are all Daves. They are happy about it. They want to find like-named people. ;) They aren't harming anyone. So who am I to stop them? :p [b]a USA v. Canada hockey thread[/b] I won't even [i]try[/i] to estimate how many sports fans are on these boards - not to speak of the fact that most people here [i]are[/i] Americans or Canadians. So it's important to many, many people in the community. And what was the thread that was closed about? 20 "amazing" things you never knew? Standard random internet fare, from the sound of it - a click a dozen... :rolleyes: If you think otherwise, though, you'd best remember that deeds say more than a thousand words - and act accordingly: Give me a link! :cool: Again, as Morrus already pointed out, it's a judgement call in every case - I just wanted to show you the subconscious thought processes of this particular moderator. I hope it helps a bit... :) [/QUOTE]
