Thread Closure

[ontheroad]

Would it be possible to have the moderator closing a thread make a short comment and then close the thread.

I believe Yac always does this, and it gives a sense of closure (double entendre not intended). Sometimes, like today, I was just about to hit the reply button when I realized it had a closed symbol.

Just a thought!

Great advice -- especially for a new moderator.

Thanks, OTR.

If a thread has been locked and the moderator did not leave their name or a reason for the closure, is there any way to find out why???

Yes. By DM.

If you don't know which moderator closed the thread, you don't know who to DM.

Any moderator.

Why can't they put a little explanation in. That's what the OP was asking for. That way we wouldn't have to bother a moderator with questions.

In most cases it is because they don't want to bring the thread back to the top. Sometimes they don't have time to write a post while moderating.

LOL...

Sometimes I do not leave my name or an explanation because I don`t want to bump a thread thats half way down the page, to just bring back to the top.

Yes but if it's closed it doesn't matter if it's bumped to the top does it?
