Why was this thread closed instead of moved?

Just wonderin’. Usually if something’s in the wrong forum, a mod will move it. What made this one different?

Leviticus thread

Not to mention, Dr. Matrix closed this thread, adivising the OP to start a GD thread. Except, the thread was in GD, not GQ, as apparently Dr. Matrix thought.

Just depends on how generous they’re feeling at the moment, and how much time they have. Closing is faster and easier than moving.

The only rational explaination is that both threads had exactly 33 replies.

I reported both closings. I think they were just done by mistake.

Puzzled me, too. There’s now two closed threads in GD beacuse people were debating debateable stuff in Great debates. I think DrMatrix has the mod underoos on backwards today. :wink:

Anyhoo, I’ve just used the “Report Bad Post” thingy to let him know. You could also do the same.

I think we have our answer

Yep – 33 posts in each thread.

I wonder if this thread will get locked now. :wink:

Once it gets to 33 replies

Douze.

I wonder why our esteemed DrMatrix is having a bad day. Is there a coffee shortage where he lives?

Remember, it’s always easier to destroy than it is to move.

Sorry to post again so quickly (well we got to get to 33 and all).
I wonder if DrMatrix actually tried to move the two threads, but when GD
didn’t appear in the drop down move two box, deleted them instead :smack: :slight_smile:

Just for that, I’m gonna move all the elections threads from 2000 and 2004 over to GQ. And bump them.

Ethilrist, your comment in the closed thread actually made me snork ice cream up my nose. Curse you.

It’s “When Moderators Attack!”
