Setting aside your point about being warned (which I accept), we await with interest the closure of the 60 nearly identical threads that pop up every fortnight in CC but which, for the moment at least, seem to at the very worst get merged rather than closed. Why didn't someone just merge what they did into one thread, for example? Look I'm not a moderator and maybe it's a hard job, but it's not like merging threads entails picking up four different piles of bricks and having to heave them together to produce a two storey mansion, is it?
I just fail to see the harm in what was done, frankly. Christ knows when I was pissed off about the turgid spate of "vs" threads in CC earlier this year, I was told to just ignore them. And please, spare us the "they offered the site something" argument. They offered the site a reduction in membership was about all.
It's off topic ffs.
Anyway, whatever. I suppose we agree to disagree.
Of course, if the approach of "you've had your say, I've had mine, let's agree to disagree" was actually something encouraged and/ or enforced in CC, then it wouldn't be the steaming pile of **** it mostly is now, and there would surely be a few less members.
Whether that would be a good thing or not isn't for me to say, but there's no shortage of irony that, as a staff member I hardly go into CC anymore to post because it's a cesspit, yet blokes throw a few silly things together in OT and get rissoled. Says something about where priorities lie I suppose.
