davidche SG Various possible topics could be discussed in a forum. Threads organise a forum by categorising and labeling its topic. Staying in thread-topic prevents from going oot helps to organise the forum so that multiple topics of discussion dont get mixed in one thread. It makes it possible for future references When some people has a topic or question in mind to post , he/she would not be faced with : should post in a new thread or in the one which goes oot, but dealing with the same topic. My stand is yes.
Chin Eng SG You know, dave, after you edited your post, I still don't understand what you are trying to say. The forum engine does not allow similar type topics to be organised as a subfolder. What you see is what you get. Reasons for closure of threads varies from forum to forum. For EH, one of the points stated by sillyme (and I concur) is that a TS must be responsible for the topic he started. If over a few days, the topic strayed because the TS does not contribute or maintain that thread, this thread will face the risk of being closed. The reason for this stand is that we don't want people to anyhow whack but take responsibility of what he does. .... so I take it that you quite buay song because I closed your thread?
davidche SG I said organise as in: eg, X thread will only be about X topic. Going oot will mean X thread contains XYZ.. So lets say a newcomer is looking for Y topic, if the forum is all oot threads(XYZ jumbled in a thread), then this poor guy would have to flip thru all the threads page by page to find wht he wants: Y THUS, if you are discussing about X topic, go to a X thread. If y, Y if Z, z. . . No i am not at all unhappy about the closed thread. No grudges.
sillyme SG So I guess you changed your mind. Previously you mentioned (in another thread) that there is no need to close it. You even PMed me to tell me about it. One way to organise threads better is to use brackets. e.g. [Discussion] Topic title or [Query] Topic title Something like that. One problem is that titles cannot be edited. We can probably put up a sticky on this, but some are not in a habit to read instructions.
Farmerseed SG My answer is if you have doubts over any questions, the best means of seeking an answer is to the church itself. Who knows what pope or pauper this forum's started and modded by
vince69 SG on your first statement, yes, agree with you that seeking guidance from the church is a good idea. on your second statement, you seems to have some pretty strong view about the mods here which I personally feel is uncalled for. please be nice. cheers ...
Chin Eng SG actually, who can, who cannot, who is, who is not, who have, who have not - can easily be seen. Not really necessarily to debate lah.... there are many here who can be mod, but isn't.... then there is me who's a mod, but maybe I shouldn't be.... but I guess this one is an old wound that refused to heal
vince69 SG Originally posted by Chin Eng: [b] then there is me who's a mod, but maybe I shouldn't be.... unker .... you are doing fine here... cheers...
