I don't understand it. Let's say someone DOES make a thread with a similar thread that was made 1 week ago. Why does it need to be closed even though the thread is getting active responses with little or no trolling on anybody's part?

Why do the mods need to close threads that NOBODY wants to be closed? If any sort of discussion is going on, just let it be.

User was banned for this post.
Lol :D

I think you're going to be banned, but I think the answer you seek is in the forum 10 commandments:

Lol, if I'M getting a hotkeys thread locked, and everyone else is having hotkey threads locked, oh wow, now we have zero hotkey threads because whoever makes another hotkey thread, that thread will get locked.

Go vicious circles!!

Mods never close active threads for "no reason". They usually post their reasoning in the thread, before closing it. In addition we have a thread in Website Feedback dedicated to answering the question "why was my thread closed?".

Topics in TL's forums are each vying for the attention of our visitors here. The mods' goal is to help ensure that the best (most interesting, most useful, most likely to spur productive discussion) topics don't get lost in a sea of crappy topics. One simple way to make things easy to find / cut down on crappy topics is to close threads that are redundant.

There are people that want redundant threads closed — I'd guess a majority of forumgoers would prefer consolidated discussion, if only for their own convenience and to make the forums easier to use. Just because these people aren't posting in redundant topics saying "DON'T DISCUSS THIS ANYMORE" does not mean that these people don't exist.

Because you should just use the old threads that already exist, not that one week counts as old. That way if someone does search for something, they don't have to look in ten different place; people also won't repeat things that have already been said in other threads which just clutters the forum.
