You know, you could just have some kind of filter. I don't know though how that would work. People may say 'Why does everyone think I should quit?' and the filter would block it. You need it to block the post if someone says they are quitting.

Because then you would get people saying "Y dos every1 tink i shud qwit?"

They're not closed just to be a pain, it's so they don't wonder where it went and make a new one, they will see that what they're doing is not right and will stop.

People are morons who get so entertained about almost anything, I put them up in my "What's wrong with you" leauge with Minecraft griefers and internet trolls. The poster is the only person who actually finds it funny, so in order for people to be entertained they must do it themselves.

True. Or maybe they want to see everyones reaction when they see posts like these.

Re: Closed Topics...

There are too many of them.  The mods are too strict.  When there's a bad link (meaning they don't like it), they remove the like AND close the topic.  Why not just remove the link and leave it at that?  And the whole ages 8+ is getting annoying.  How about just prompting the user on clicking the Misc forums something like 'only view if you are okay with trolls, links, etc. and [age]+.'

That's what I said on another topic. Maybe if when you sign up for scratch, if you're a certain age, it wont let you go to links. Maybe you could also make a parent account, and if you're under the age, your parent has to enter their password.

Re: Closed Topics...

Yeah, most my sigs are removed most the time.

I don't see anyone being annoyed about these things, most scratch projects have a lot of violence.

Most of the closed topics are related to the recent "I Quit" fad. 

Whenever we have one of these fads (which happen fairly regularly, unfortunately) we close the topics.  Posting to be part of a fad is kind of like treating the forums as a game - which is not what they are for.  Please use the TBG forums for posting games.

Then delete them and less ppl will join the fad.
