I have a somewhat related question and do not know if this is the right place to post it, but here goes: Why is a thread shut down due to specific individuals behaviors instead of placing said individuals on a time out from the site (after suitable mod warning)?
thanks, and I'll take my answer off line ... oops! this isn't the radio ...

Im trying to remember if we have ever closed a thread at all but I do seem to recall we have closed one thread over its highly inappropriate intention to mock and ridicule. There might have been another thread that we have closed but I'll have to research because I honestly cant remember

I will say that the times when I would be comfortable closing an entire thread would be if the thread's purpose was specifically to mock or ridicule one person or if a thread was explicitely, intentionally, and blatantly racist, transphobic, sexist, etc.
