    Dear Kwun & Mods,

    I have been browsing through the Pro Players threads and noticed that some of the threads were closed, hence not allowing anymore post.

    May I suggest that for whatever reason, can you please, at least make a tiny effort to post the reason before closing the thread. I don't expect you to type a 500 words explanation, but a simple line will at least clear thing up for all the BC members, especially for the ones who make an effort to post on the thread. I know you guys are very busy but it will only cost you 10 additional seconds before you click the "Closed" button.

    IMHO, any reason is better than no reason. I can live with it even if you post the following reason,
    "Thread closed : I am the mod and I can do watever I want" or
    "Thread closed : Badfever's fault. Go hammer him"

    :) :) :)
    The best example is from Cheung on this thread (thanks Cheung), http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34075&page=5
    Thanks Kwun as well,

    Some threads like the following, you don't need to explain. I think anyone with a brain is smart enough to go figure,

    :confused: :confused: :confused:
    But for the following thread, http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26226&page=24
    I read through the last 100 posts **I am sweating now and about to faint from reading fans' posts**:p but I still couldn't figure out why it was closed. I read some other forums that each threads can only have the max posts of 400. I can only assume that's the reason. Wouldn't it be nice to read the last post as the following,
    "Thread closed : max limit reach. Go open another"

    What about this,

    Finally, thanks for taking the time to read my little suggestion.

    Cheers.

    *** Finally BadFever fainted from the geli'ness (don't need to understand this word) of some fans' posts ***

    Both the threads you had queried were going nowhere. Although the content was not offensive or rude, ther is no substance to any of the posts. In both cases most of the posts were saying the same things over and over again. This dilutes the content of the thread and is pointless.

    50 different people posting "I like KKK he has really good skills" does not add to the site.

    Do you really find it interesting to sift through 8 pages of the same thing? If you feel you have anything to add to these topics that has not already been said, then open a new thread and discuss, although I think you will find another open thread with a place for this, or it has already been said.

    Jamesd20, if your post is the last one on both of the closed threads I mentioned, that's good enough and that's all is needed to explain the action taken.

    FYI, I am not querying the two threads mentioned. As a matter of fact, I didn't even read one of them before I wrote this post, which talked about "sexy players" or something.

    This is just a general suggestion. Again, I am not querying anything. Maybe my English is just not good enough to explain my good intention. Sorry.
