AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around frustrations with the Physics Forum's policy of closing threads shortly after they are opened, which some users find counterproductive. Participants express concern about the lack of opportunity for meaningful engagement and the reasons behind thread closures. Despite these frustrations, there is acknowledgment of the forum's efforts to maintain high-quality content. A specific example is mentioned where a thread was closed before the original poster could respond, highlighting the issue further. Overall, the conversation underscores the tension between moderation practices and user experience on the forum.

That wouldn't go down well.
 
PF has very diligent staff who endeavor to ensure high quality of content. Sometimes maybe people can become miffed because of a thread getting closed. For my little teensy part, I think that, on the whole, PF is a great forum set.

I think that OP was his swan song. He hasn't been back since.

@eltodesukane -- If you come back to PF and want this thread reopened, please send me a PM. Thank you. Thread is now closed.
 
Update -- an off-topic subthread (started by me) has been deleted. Thread will remain closed until OP requests it re-opened.
