Mods closing threads

The "Why is Mumbai so filthy?" thread was recently closed. Can anyone tell me why. It was an excellent discusion that was about to move on to possible solutions .....wham, it was locked

Whats going on?

I think that the rubbish is being recycled. Time for a new thread - when and if - "Why is Mumbai so clean"? Sorry, that was in poor taste.

Send a private message to the mods, discussing mod decisions isn't allowed and this thread will soon vanish.

How do I find a mod?

Thanks

Zeroseven, you PMed me with your enquiry, and I responded to you that the matter would be referred to the rest of the team. Did you not get my reply?

The mod team is short-handed just now, and that status remains.

Yes, we do close threads when they become repetitive, which was true of that one. As to what it was about to move on to, well, none of us is psychic, but we do have a pretty good experience of IndiaMike.

So there you go.

Maybe if you'd read the very last post before you closed it.......

I had no idea you where a mod actually, you're attributed with "Loud mouthed noisy bird" - clarifying your status with a more grown up statemen tmight help, though maybe with that attitude and sarcasm you should rethink the position

As for repetition, surely threads die a natural death if thats the case, is the forum for members to discuss or for mods to enforce their opinion when it suits them?

Thanks at least for the clarification

[deep sigh]

Zeroseven - you're obviously annoyed, but could you take a few deep breaths yourself, and re-think that?

PS - you'll notice a red "edit" button at the bottom right of your last post, which should help

The moderators exercise an editorial control.

We do so with a light hand, but we do.

It is likely that that thread will remain closed, and, whilst comments are noted, it is not open to further public debate.
