Why closing the user-created thread?

#1 - Oct. 16, 2013, 8:13 p.m.

Looks like the discussion of Forum Moderation – Clarification, which is a user-created post has been closed by Anet. And their last line was:

“Hello again all!

Thanks so much for having this conversation with us today. The whole Community Team has been reading this thread, and we will gather up all the feedback (positive & negative) to discuss.

I’m closing the thread now
"

IMHO, i mean, the Team don’t have to be there in an ACTIVE role in that thread. People are still talking. I don’t see there’s a reason to close it (unless they have one) when players still exchange to each other (not necessarily to Anet) their takes on the new and improved censoring policy . It is just a regular thread like millions of other thread, which are still active. If someone doesn’t feel like keep on reading, by all means, he/she feel free not to. There’s no violation in that.

Howdy all! I got a call (while I am at home with dinner and family) that you all still had concerns, and why I locked that post.

Normally, the OP made would have been removed, as we do not allow discussions of Moderation, policies, and Moderator actions on the forums.

I decided to halt that, and respond, hopefully engaging folks and answer questions.

I decided to close it for a couple of reasons. The first? I was leaving for the day and did not want everyone to feel like they were left hanging (as people say we do when we get in these discussions).

I wanted to refer folks to the forum email box, so I could respond to further questions and comments to bring back to the Community. Whilst we’d all like to sit in one thread and respond to it, we have a lot of other duties which call our attention.

By referring to the proper channel for feedback ([email protected]), I can compile these easily and start fresh with our feedback.

So, if you do have further concerns & questions, please send them in. I’m going to go back to my family, my rescue kittens, and my stout. I do appreciate the feedback and I promise to follow up once we have a better plan in place for you. (Plus you may see some neat things before then).

Thanks all.
