When should we ask for topics to get closed? I know topics get closed when topics get out of hand, but when else is it useful to close topics?
-When a topic is resolved?
-When a topic is out of date?
-When a topic is resolved, but is getting off topic?
...
Thanks a lot! wink

I'm pretty sure it's when the topic is out of date, or when it's resolved and getting off topic. Take it from a forum moderator (who knows very little about what he's doing, but is getting there!)

I looked it up in the super-handy forum moderator handbook, which I refer to every minute, and here's what I discovered:

If a thread is no longer serving a useful role in the Scratch community, it should be considered for closing. If the thread veers off topic, is no longer relevant (for example, discussing a bug that has been fixed), serves as a chatroom, or contains aggressive interaction such as users attacking eachother, it should be considered for closing. And no, that's not copy & paste smile

Great information, sounds like they gave you a little handbook to work with! Nice! big_smile

Just about all of them.

Hey coka! Aside from the above, thread owners could request for their own topics to be closed via reporting their own topic. smile

Thanks a lot! wink I knew pretty much what should get closed or not, but I just wanted to see what a moderator's outlook is on closing topics. Thanks to all of you!
