    Closed Thread - what closes it?

    I see a few threads show a 'lock' on the icon, and will show as a 'Closed Thread'. What or who closes them? Is it the original poster? Or is it Admin?
    Just curious

    on the other board, just mention "Nestor" and it closes By the way, they just announced all threads to be closed on 12/31/12 on the other board.

    I think I understand a little better - if the whole thread is inappropriate, the admins can delete it. If the thread has some redeeming qualities, but then starts to go off kilter, it gets closed/locked.

    Thank you

    Good. I remember on PE2 when the OP would delete a thread because he didn't like the direction it was going in. The admins here are great. They're fair. They're patient. They show good judgement. Sometimes it's kinda frustrating when a thread gets closed but I understand the terms of service. Sometimes you just love to watch a good flame war .

    Indeed, sometimes those threads are ticking along innocuously then suddenly there are 30 more posts & I can't take my eyes off it.

    BTW - see the Terms Of Service (ToS) ... there's a link near the bottom-right-hand corner of every screen.

    The basic terms of service are almost identical to PEv2.

    The Privacy terms (linked from the ToS) have been re-written.

    So can the original poster delete his/her own thread or close a thread like in the old PE? Is there a link someone can post to show how it's done? Thanks.

    OK, while we're talking about thread icons, I know the little green thingy with the arrow in it marks threads where I've replied, what is a "sticky" thread? Is there a link that describes the various icons and their meaning? Are there any besides sticky, locked, and replied2byme?

    It's a thread we can make rise to the top of the pile if it's marked as a sticky.

    I certainly hope so - that was the dumbest spam I've seen in a long time
