Closing a thread unless it becomes a slagging match is in my opinion a bad idea, I would be far more in favour of having posts removed if they got out of hand, one or 2 small deviations isn't a big deal. Altough many posters contribute well to the community others have the tendency to bounce off each other and deviate (blankmannn, ploy26p (sorry lads)) as an example, so it's the likes of these ramblings that should be removed...
I personally think an Escorts ad thread should never be closed or removed unless she herself is breaking the rules, why should she be punished for others actions, remove all the post's within it if you have to but not close, how are people supposed to responed in a genuine way if that is done??
no no, you're right, there was a period when ploy and myself clogged up the forum, but I think we're long since past that.

I just don't see the point in closing any thread unless it's something that really violates the rules, it's only a thread for christ's sake
