Whenever possible, we try and simply remove the one or two offending posts in a thread and leave the thread open. However, when the thread moves faster than we have the time to get to it, there may be 4, 5 or a dozen offending posts by the time we've all reviewed it. At that point, the amount of work it takes to try and prune the thread in a way that still allows it make sense is usually more than it's worth, especially if the topic was so controversial to begin with.
I know to see such notices can be frustrating, but they simply indicate that the thread has become unsupportive and not really in keeping with our mission here as a mental health emotional support community.

yea i understand that, my point was the wording you all are using to close the threads makes it sound like you will be coming back to these closed threads to either reopen them or explain why its staying closed.
if you look at the blanket statement that is being used you will see the word "while"......
I am closing this thread while the team discusses it. Please do not start another thread on this topic while it is being discussed.
I just thought it was funny and strange the other night and it brought up the question of whether you all were planning on coming back to the closed thread....
I felt it was kind of misleading since you all never come back to the closed threads. they all seem to remain closed or removed after you initially close them.... just one of those how you word it kind of things.... I was curious as to why the word .... while.... was in there... if you really intended to come back to the threads of if the statement was worded strangely/ misleadingly...
