implying that the video was not thread worthy on it's own and as such is more suited for the youtube thread.

Plexa says it's cites a good quote in one've the articles I posted and concludes the entirety is "much ado about nothing", but that's just not true. Here's another quote from one've the articles: "But also, if there’s any correlation between violent games and aggressive behaviour, it’s in our interest as gamers to know about it. Instead the issue gets consistently obfuscated by a politically motivated agenda, increasing the noise, and reducing the chance for a level-headed, scientifically focused debate." I think the TL community is logical enough to have a mature conversation about Starcraft with regard to the violence topic. Or should we always close threads like this and just bury our heads in the sand while CNN continues to make disgusting talking point about mass shooter massacres while playing SC2 replays on their news feed? | ||

Here are all the other closed threads saying the exact same thing. These sort of threads don't really generate discussion because most people on a gaming website would agree with each other saying how stupid the media can be. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=388893 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=388957 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=388882 | ||

I'm surprised this thread got closed. I completely agree with it since the OP could have spent a little time to do a search and see that there have been multiple threads asking the same thing. I just thought the normal procedure for a thread like that was to move it to website feedback (if it wasn't there already) and lock rather than close it. | ||

, but we also have http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=389929 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=388237 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=386707 My understanding was that website feedback threads tend not to be closed but just locked so it doesn't make it seem like the staff are trying to hide anything. There's a separate place for gallerying threads. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/closed-threads/447414-apd-releases-helmetcam-footage-of-shooting It's a reasonable thread by the standards of TL. Certainly far worst opening posts have not been closed. No reason was given for closing. | ||

Certainly almost all OP about a news is geared in such a way. Or in the case of 99% of all threads, no meaningful discussion is to be had. The OP talk about his thoughts and even asks people for their thoughts. It posts a video which stands on it's own merit, which appears to be the official youtube channel of a news site, and the posters were all arguing in the usual TL way. Nothing out of the ordinary. It is just closed without any reason given. | ||

It became apparent that he didn't post the thread for the sake of discussion. He posted it with the intention of bringing a matter to light and having everyone agree with his opinion. Everyone who disagreed with him was automatically wrong and stupid, in his eyes. This is just what I see as justification for the thread being closed. The mods probably have a better explanation for you. | ||
