    Default Closing threads.

    I have noticed that staff members have been posting in threads, and acting as if those threads were just fine. Then, a different staff member comes along and closes it. If one staff member thinks it's okay, then I don't think it's anothers deal to go and close it unless it gets out of hand. I see it as one staff member underminding the decision of another, and I think it should be brought to the staffs attention.

    I have my doubts about a good portion of the staff taking me or my opinions seriously, but I still feel that this is a thread worth posting.

    Maybe it did get out of hand. It's the Knight's call.

    But it didn't.

    I realize that it's the knights call, but when one Knight participates in the thread, and another one closes it, I think that is somewhat rude.

    Sometimes we're just lazy. Or something like that.

    It's not rude at all. Very rarely does any staff member have a problem with another member of staff closing a thread. We trust each other's judgement. If there ever is a problem, we discuss it amongst ourselves.

    Too lazy to close the thread, but you actively participate in it?

    Thank you so much for that stunningly enlightening contribution, Crash.

    nik0tine, sometimes threads deteriorate after one staffer has posted in them. Sometimes they turn spammy, or get flamed up, or otherwise become unworthy of existence. Sometimes, one staffer simply has a stricter definition of 'spam thread' than another.
    It's basically what RSL said.

    Or sometimes, the staff contribute to spamming the thread, leading another staff member to actually have a reason to close it. But they're staff, so we lowly members must not question anything they do.

    Some staff members are more lenient than others. Often as a staff member I would post in a thread that got closed later by someone else. I didn't think they were rude, I was like like "Damn, no more penis talk today."
