why are you closing threads so much?? fair enough the spamming ones , but most of them are decent threads where people are chatting away , i know some of them might go a bit off topic but i think you are taking it a bit too seriously.

Can you give some examples of threads that shouldn't have been closed? because I haven't noticed any that have been closed unfairly/unnecessarily.

Yes willmo, please do...

[willmo]

Yes willmo, please do...

just saying that you shut the only active threads on here. look what time you posted, 14:25. im the next person to post and its 22:04.

Psm3 thoughts on pes2010, was one of them. maybe not on the topic anymore but atleast people were chatting about the game.

When should we expect some gameplay videos? was another one, not off topic this time but you still shut it.

im all for keeping the forum tidy but when you look at the state of the konami feedback forum i think you would be better spending your efforts on that. full of one post threads. i bet if konami are looking at it they are thinking that its a mess of ideas .

i just think that some threads if they are active like that then just let them run their course, coversations evolve into other ones and as long as its not abusive i dont think they should be closed.

At least two admins were in favour of closing the "ps3m thoughts on pes2010" thread because the same argument was being put across by Tech_Skill to different people every day. It got closed a week late if anything.

And I gave reason enough in the "gameplay videos" thread as to why it was closed. If threads only get past a page when people are arguing over which is the better game (in a thread about a gameplay video for PES2010) then it's hardly my fault.

On registering, you have accepted this set of rules, and I am just repeating them, to give you a couple of chances to have your account deleted:

So that means I'm no longer allowed to post on topics marked with the down-arrow icon? How about editing old posts?
