closing threads? - 07-12-2006, 09:31 PM

what's up with closing threads?

It's the one reason I dislike this forum.

some guy who supposedly runs the forum gets a bug up us his ass about something and then puts the hammer down.


Fill me in on why it's necessary and fruitful and how it's helpful.

If you're talking about the recent lh thread that bruce started, it was closed at his request.

When a thread becomes as unproductive as that one its better to "stop the bleeding" than allow the madness to progress to name calling

Weird.

Tons of posts, after his original post, and you close the thread because he asks for it?

Not to poop stir but it sounds to me like there's some kind of agenda being addressed behind the scenes of this forum.

Looks suspicious for a non-commercial forum.

If I go off on some some tangent and 50 people address my post but then I don't like where the other other people are taking the thread I started I can get the thread closed?

I closed the thread, Bruce did not ask for it to be closed.

It has been stated before that all LH bashing would not be allowed.

It was uncalled for him to call out management like he did in a public forum. Also the topic was about the crowd attendance, not about that the grass isnt green or long enough eyc eyc.

I closed it so that it would stop there, but didnt delete it so people could still read it.

yeah it's toy cars, but I was taliking about this forum, not LH.

It's just odd that this is someone's IP address that they put up some bulletin board software and tell everyone to have dialogue here about topics that they create. LHR is one of the topics that is created to be discussed. The odd part is the moderator/forum owner gets bent out of shape at certain things.

I'd assume that because the forum owner is just a paying customer just like me when they go to LHR that the forum they created isn't commercially connected with LHR. Maybe I'm wrong.

I personally want a place that people can vent and not feel pressured. Maybe this isn't the place to vent.

All of you know I love LHR and the employees there, but I thought that this forum was a separate entity.

It is (a seprate entity)... The owner (and a good friend of mine) doesnt want HIS site used to bash a local buisness like LH... Thats that... Understand?

Its a respect thing for all the hard work that has been happening there... This will NOT be the place to take shots at that facility... Its easy to be a screen name and totatly Crap on someones life long work...
You got somthin negative to say ... Say it too the mans face!

It is seperate, but it is not in the proper content to call out manage of a busines sin a public forum when you wont go talkt ot hem personally. I am not going to making an issue here. The owner of this board has made me a moderator, and in my opinion the thread was getting way off topic, so that is why it was closed, obviously ownership has agreed with me. I could have deleted it but decided to keep it closed so peopel can read.

You want to start a new LH thread go ahead and keep it on topic. The toipic that you are refering to was about low attendance, not poor management, not laying grass seed, and everything else.

OK....create a thread on this forum for bashing tracks. All tracks everywhere.

Then redirect any bashing of tracks to that thread.

Call the thread:

Bitch

or

Sour grapes.

I'm serious.

Don't shut down dialogue, is what I'm saying. I think it's productive to have what might be percieved as negative posts about a place to be able to be discussed. It would be constructive. Not necessarily destructive.
