In case no one happened to read what I said: People were deleting threads for bad reasons. Like "All the replies to my thread are stupid. *deletes*". Or "I'm done with this thread, and clearly no one else at the MB deserves to see any thread I'm done with myself, so *deletes*", and I had to un-delete them myself. And it was annoying.

Closed threads show people that if you do something, your thread will be closed. As opposed to people doing the same things over and over again. I maintain the perhaps foolish belief that people learn.

[qq=TheAbominatrix] I propose that after every announcement staff makes an 'Obligatory Announcement Complaint' thread, to save time.[/qq]

But then people would make threads to complain about our policy of making threads in which to complain. And then my brain would implode.
