I mean if some repetitive threads like "What's your favourite X" ,Shipping and much nonsense will be forbidden?</div>Well, I assume the reason why Journalistic closed the shipping thread was because the discussion was off-topic, discussing mental disabilities, if I recall correctly. It was only when Journalistic, I believe, entered in when the discussion came back to its original topic, and even then someone told him "just close it" and Journalistic did. He technically did what that person asked him to do. <p>As for the future, I think it's fine, just as long as the discussion is returned back on topic instead of going on for fifty or so messages about autism. </p> </div>So is "Favorite theme songs" thread is worthless.</div>Not at all, my man. </div> <p>Then why Journalistic closed this thread? </p>

He has had to endure a lot of what he felt as kinder garden backtalk from editors who were supposed to be the mature ones. Instead of being honest and direct with him, users would backtalk him and make discussions about him without including him. This (supposedly) prompted him to remove himself from the users, so we are all at fault for this in some way. </p>

<p>I don't know the validity of that, but if he's going to be an admin, shouldn't he be above that? </p>

Maybe their threads were qualified for closing due to an unspecified circumstance that only Journalistic noticed? Because it appears that he is not one to pull off such things without reason. </p>

I oppose this. Journalistic did a lot of stuff for this wiki and also has a lot of experience.
