    Unne:

    Proto: there is no distinct line. The line is very arbitrary and depends mostly on the staffers' judgment and the circumstances (such as in this case, with Sora! being spammy). If you want to debate a specific thread being closed, that's fine and dandy, but debating the general rule of "when is a thread dead?" is pointless as the answer is "whenever the staff says it is." As it should be.

    Raistlin, this thread had been dead for over an HOUR.
    This is unacceptable.

    See? With that kind of crap, I'd have a case. But not with a ten-day-old thread in GC (which puts it back several pages) being revived with a spammy post by its originator.

    Well I'll be damned.
    *is damned*

    :-x *loses*

    This subject will not be discussed any further. Raistlin knows more than I do.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I just get off work and the thread is already closed? Well I'm getting in the last post anyway.

    Sora! already had many PMs about her/his posting so no more PMs/explanations are necessary.
    btw, I'm not asking for the thread to be reopened.
    It won't be.
    And it's been almost two years since I have left staff, I know I could have just simply PM you, but I would like most or all of the staff to see and be aware of this 'problem' about "dead/dying" threads.
    You needed worry about the Staff missing something, Proto, as we communicate with each other very well about all problems.

    yea, it used to be all fun and games in the staff forum until we let all these women in there. Now it's all "my feet hurt" and "let's eat chocolate" and "Bruce Willis is so hot!" It's almost enough to make a man cry. If fact, Yams does cry.
