As a moderator you are surely familar with the practice of posting a modnote telling participants in a thread to drop a particular topic of discussion, without closing the whole thread? As you did [here, for example](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-find-out-which-books-have-been-banned-in-my-community/972256/18).
