Ok, I can't help but see the number of topic closed.

You know, nobody read the posts from last November. So, why close a topic when it is a dupe of a 3 months old topic. Why? I know the mods really think they doing their job by closing an amazing quantity of threads. But couldn't you leave it alone for a minute? When people talk to you, and you remember the topic they are having have been braught up the same way 3 months ago, do you tell them to shut up cause you already talked previously a long time ago about the same subject? No, you talk about it, no matter if you already know you both had a previous discussion about it. Maybe the 3rd person with you was not there... so he may learn something. Fact is, I was not register here in last November, so I didn't had the chance to hear this discussion. Now, what is the common sense in closing so many topics cause they already been braught up in the past. Their is new people here that may wanna talk about it in a different matter.

Now, you may close/delete this topic as you wish, but I would like yo hear from you mods why you doing this... It make this forum unpleasant more then anything good. Close threads that doesn't go nowhere, where people insult each others, where nothing intelligent is said or when there is a similar thread that we can view that have been post in the latest days. But don't close everything you already read in some ways on this forum in the past.

This is really not fun

I wrote that in regard of a simple Thread I made in best/worst/vs forum regarding the top 5 favorite horror director of everyone. I know for sure someone already post something similar. Maybe not so long ago. But I also post that in regard of the dozen of threads that are closed everyday for no really good reasons except someone already talked about it in the past.

Dude, I understand your annoyance, but I don't see a real problem with what the mods are doing. I could understand more if you had created a topic that was a bit more (and this isn't an insult) original, but something like "top 5 horror movie directors" is almost as common as "who would win - Freddy vs Jason/Myers/The Pope".
All it takes is a 5-minute seacrh to see that there have been countless "top 5 director" lists.
Sorry dude, and I know it sounds like I'm being a bitch here, but we all have threads closed every now and then, and it's just a way of keeping messageboards fresh and original, without having to see a board that looks like this:

TOP 5 HORROR MOVIE DIRECTORS
WHO WOULD WIN? JASON VS FREDDY
BEST MUSIC IN A HORROR MOVIE
BEST HORROR MOVIE
BEST HALLOWEEN MOVIE
BEST NOES MOVIE

Because, to be honest, this would depress me if the board was like that. Okay, so maybe these aren't good examples, and maybe I'm going on and on a bit now, but hopefully you can see my point. I fully understand what you mean, though, but trust me, you learn to deal with it and it encourages you to post new and original topics, which in turn makes the board a much better and entertaining experience.

And besides, this should be in Site Suggestions/Questions, probably.

We pride ourselves in running a tight shipt here to enourage quality, yes in the process a few sailors will get disgrunted at how we do things but what can you do? We can't please everybody. I'm very happy at how my moderators handle things and without them I'd go INSANE! It's NOT an easy job, lets show them some support! This is actually the first complaint I've had in regards to the horror section of the board in two years. The first! We must be doing something right. I've checked out a lot of other boards out there to compare and many DO NOT go heavy on the closing (or the moderationg for that matter)and in consequence the boards often wind up being messy, redundant and filled with useless posts and threads. We all get some topics closed down in the sakes of quality (yes, even me!), it might piss off some but that's how we do things on this boat. Steady she goes Sulu...

NOTE: I do appreciate the feedback Quebec Joel and if you need to get more stuff off your chest, e-mail me.

NOTE 2: Joel, to comment on two things you brought up...topics that dont go anywhere usually dissapear within a day and threads that have people insulting each other are either closed or the person doing the insulting is dealt with. We're real hard up on respect round these parts.

TOPIC CLOSED
