Kinda off kilter here so bear with me. When a thread gets "Closed" such as the "Confused By This" thread. Is that usually because some monitor didn't like something going on with it so they can/will/do close the thread at their own discretion ?

IBTL.

There has to be rule breaking going on before they will lock a thread. In this case personal attacks. Attack ideas not people.

Also, many threads have absolutely nothing to do with a C6, and others are clearly created to "stir the pot".

I've seen many of those get closed/moved/deleted/etc. over the years too.

Help an old guy out...IBTL?
As for the "Confused By This" thread I think babybadger and I went juuuust a little too far. However, there was certainly some bashing going on prior.

In before the lock

A good 'ol fashioned bashing builds character

Sometimes a thread that has nothing to do with C6s will be allowed to stay if it seems to be something that C6 owners have in common and want to discuss.

I think the last topic in the "Confused By This" thread is something probably half the C6 owners have in common...

sometimes the creator asks for it to be closed....

lots of reasons...usually best to PM us if you really wanna know in the event we don't post a reason why.

this one closed as it really doesn't have anything to do with C6's
