Closed Thread question...

Ok, I’m curious… I know that Mod’s have the ability to close threads. In fact, it’s happened to me once or twice. But other than the fact that the Mod found something personally offensive, is there a legitimate reason that my thread in MPSIMS was closed?

I’m well aware of the restrictions normally put in place, but I was getting feedback on web-design for my friend, and with one partial exception, no complaints.

So what was the deal? I had a disclaimer in the thread, and both of the sites have a disclaimer. The content is not “obscene” or illegal.

I’m just trying to figure this one out…

Because we didn’t get a chance to discuss whether to ban you, you bigot.

Hope that helps.

OK, I’ll help you out.

“Raghead-o-rama” is the term that did the trick. All the disclaimers in the world don’t make that term any less offensive.

Did we really have to spell that out for you?

You’re right about one thing though. Mods can indeed close threads.
