For moderators

[Gman86]

Was just wondering if it would be possible for moderators to give 1 or 2 warnings in a thread, before actually closing it. Instead of abruptly closing a thread, I think it might be helpful to just let everyone in that thread know that the discussion is becoming unproductive, or let them know whatever other reason you have for giving the warning, and tell them that if they continue with that behavior, the thread will be closed. Even if it’s just 1 warning before closing, I think it would be very helpful, and fair.

This is obviously just a suggestion. If moderators want to continue to close threads without warning, I have no problem with that. I respect whatever way the moderators want to manage the forum. Just a friendly request. Thank you.

Completely understandable. Thanks for even entertaining the idea. I appreciate it, and think it can only improve this already amazing forum.
