Why are all the threads being closed. Mine specifically was about post infection, ... others are news, others center around infection numbers.... I dont want to wade through thousands of posts to find information I was interested in talking about

Why not merge every post on this site into giant thread and call it SNAFU

You answered your own question.
If we tried to merge it, garbage would be the result.

There are too many individual threads re-hashing the EXACT same information. By closing the extra threads, the useful information is preserved instead of deleted and lost.

There are still over 20 active Corona Virus threads.

yes I did answer my question.... I dont want to wade through thousands of posts reading one more here... unconfirmed... oh he didnt have it..... ten thousand now sice....

how about letting people decide what they want to read for themselves. the search feature here is worse than google search pay for the top.

I'm just a Joe 6-pack member here but agree with the mods. Several of the threads I've been reading or participating in have offered little in the way of new or substantive over the other 20 threads of so.

I agree with the red in the quote part, for those that dont give material I dont like I dont follow it... It is being forced on us which threads we have to follow.

I dont like the main corona thread as it has gone to crap rehashing over and over and anything new just gets buried in it

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

I don't think the mods are forcing anything on anyone other than to follow the relatively simple rules which I have to admit to having violated a time or two or four.

At some point in time the 20-plus threads become a bowl of spaghetti and none will have any value. As for going to crap; the mods are doing the best they can. I noticed one thread had been stealth edited. If you are debating anyone about how many mags are enough don't suggest that US troops are idiots. I'm sure they are looking at the main coronavirus thread as well.

Who's permission do I need, and what form should I fill out so I can start a new thread that wont get deleted or merged or locked.

I will fill it out in triplicate and get the proper rubber stamps.

this one already has the original post #2 the mods snipe at me, and #3 my response were deleted.

Your thread was closed. It wasn't personal, it wasn't an attempt to censor you, it wasn't an attempt to influence what you do or do not read... there are a dozen other threads that address the topic of what to do if you catch the virus.

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

Maybe time to close this thread? :

 

[PeterEnergy]

It's a tough call.

OTOH, it is nice to segregate an analysis of a topic as we generally do, e.g., Metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, aesthetics. In this case, I was looking forward to delving into the thread comparing the history of this to the 1920 Spanish flu. That's quite a bit different than the political angle.

OTOH, all threads tend to vary from the OP, covering all kinds of tangential topics over time. I usually like when the mods make a "OFFICIAL THREAD ON X" merging some of the more active and poignant considerations.

Have a great day!

Not "the mods".... Me. I took a jab at you for not placing this thread in the proper location. You have been here long enough to know where something like this goes.

So, for the world to see, here are the two posts in question:

First of all, posting in the right section would be a great start.
THREAD MOVED.

And second off as per the actual thread contents.,.. nice derail

Neither post furthered this thread so I deleted them.

 

[cannonfoddertfc]

If you have further grievance with moderators closing redundant threads, please post your complaint in the Security and Grievance section and it will be addressed by ALL of the moderators.

Thank you, have a nice day.

No threads should be closed.

It has never been my policy to close threads. That is unless the thread has ventured way off the deep end and has no hope of recovery.

Members are free to start threads on any topic they want.

Threads should not be closed.

~~ EDIT ~~

Coronavirus forum section has been added

Threads have been moved to the new section and opened.

 

[stroo]

It was getting ridiculous! I like using the new posts feature and about 3/4 of the first page of threads were about this stupid flu.
Personally I'm not really concerned about it, these tend to happen almost annually then fizzle out to nothing.

 

[charliemeyer007]

I think that is a great solution Kev. I'm done with reading all the virus stuff for now anyway.

All media hype. Just this years apocalyptic disease. Nothing more.

Thank you Kev.

Organization is what we needed.

They were, for the most part redundant, confusing, unhelpful, and idiotic.
Less is more
Focus the energy

Any threads you dont want to read on the new listings just make a shortcut and use that. It will refresh and exclude topics or specific threads you dont want. Add more separated by a commas. I have several I dont follow, if you want to see the entire site just select the "New Posts" in the header.
