The only reason Leeza closes most of those threads is because she gets to them first. She's very quick, catlike, even. She, just like the rest of us, will bring up in the staff forum if certain types of threads should be closed, and hear the collective decision, before taking any action. For that reason you can safely assume that her, or any one mod's, actions in this regard reflect the will of the majority of staff.

An announcement was not made concerning this issue because they don't do any good (and actually RSL did make one a while back anyway). With the way people are today, it would probably encourage more nonsense. Psychology is such a wonderful thing.
