AI Thread Summary
Threads are being closed quickly due to forum rules, particularly those involving medical conditions, to prevent inappropriate advice and encourage seeking professional help. Users express confusion over why some threads remain open for long periods while others are closed almost immediately. The discussion also touches on the importance of understanding forum guidelines to avoid premature thread closures. Humor and light-hearted banter about language and terminology appear throughout the conversation, but the main concern remains the inconsistency in thread management. Adhering to forum rules is essential for maintaining open discussions.

Any thread where there is a possibility of a medical condition will usually get closed to prevent people from attempting to make a diagnosis and as a way of encouraging the member to seek proper medical care. I, for one, do not want to feel responsible if a member complaining of side effects from a concussion died or suffered further disabling due to a complication that could have been caught with proper medical care.

It's between "twice" and "thrice", so two and a half times.

It's Indian English for "tree times". Or maybe East Asian English for "tlee timeh".
