Is not rat, is hamster
I know, I know - this has been said a million times before but as no one seems to take the slightest bit of notice I will invariably have to repeat myself:
There are a number of reasons why it is a BAD thing to have threads locked down for no real reason but most of those reasons are technical and dull, for the most part, but the one you need to know is that the more threads that are shut down because a question has been answered or you simply don't wish to discuss something any further, the more of a turn-off this place will become to new people and visitors.
If a thread is locked, no one can post - this is not a good thing for any forum and causes more harm than good. So please, unless a member of staff chooses to shut down a thread (and reasons will be given) please do not request closure.
If you feel a thread is inappropriate, report it via the usual methods - either the report post button or by sending a PM to someone on the staff. But it is not up to you to decide whether a thread ought to be shut or not, so please don't ask.
If a thread has died a natural death then leave it alone - no need to shut it down just because it is no longer active. Also, please do not create a thread unnecessarily only to edit your post to something like "nvm" as this wastes valuable forum space and serves no purpose whatsoever. If you have a question about the games, use the search function as it has most likely been asked and answered already. If it's a forum related question, again try searching first. If you are not sure if you ought to devote an entire thread to what you want to say, you can always PM someone instead - this is far better than filling the boards up with one-post threads which say nothing and then request them to be closed.
I really hope you guys read this and take it on board because it is very tiresome to have to keep telling people why I will not shut a thread down. Even if you are the thread creator, you will need a very good reason why you want your thread locked and you will need to PM a staff member with your reasons prior to requesting it.
