I was just curious why my Armageddon thread was closed.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=133083

Didn't seem like too terrible of a topic to me

Edit: I read earlier in the thread that polls without enough content were closed, but if that's the case, why does something like this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=133055 remain open? It has nothing but a poll and 0 content.

Maybe, shall we say that TL.net doesn't like talk about stuff like the end of world and etc.

I didn't close it but the last 2 pages look pretty garbage. I guess whoever closed it can give a better explanation.

The last 2-3 pages turned into total trash and it wasn't about to get any better. We are at a stage in moderation with so many people that while the OP isn't particularly bad, sometimes its easier just to close the thread rather than ban 4 pages full of people.

I thought there was just a general ruling that the oh 2012 dooms day threads were getting old.

But my thread had nothing to do with 2012

Hey, just writing because I want to make sure I never write a poorly designed thread again. Here was my thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=133542

Sorry if there was something wrong with it, just wondering why it was closed. It seemed to have a lot of responses for the short amount of time it was open, and I found it helpful.

Thanks.

While I didn't close your thread, I can speculate that the sheer number of "help me pick a race" / "what race do you play" / "why do you play X race" threads that already exist led to it being closed. Those threads generally contain pages and pages of people posting their idea without reading anybody else's responses. The lack of discussion is not really desirable.

Just my two cents, but again, I didn't close it.

Thanks for the response. I suppose I searched "which race" and not "what race". Upon searching the later I saw many closed threads. My-B.

Thanks again Manifesto7, and my apologies.

I appreciate that someone actually cares enough to understand what they've done wrong.

High five, mister Precocious.

Seems like it's something you should research yourself instead of expecting other people to do it for you. Show some initiative. I didn't close it, but if I did, it would be for that reason.

I'm not staff, but I think the existing policy is that if a person has a simple request, it should be made in IRC.

IRC / PM / Google / Searching for an existing thread is a much better place for simple requests like that.

Not closed, but moved. Why was my thread (http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=137853) moved to blogs from BroodWar? I thought I was yelled at for posting broodwar stuff in blogs and I agreed it was dumb? This isn't a personal story, there's no reason it should be in blogs.
