Talking about politics or religeon, anywhere apart from the lounge.
Or threads that just become rambles.
Or ones where people start being nasty to each other.
Read the rules, its all in there.

Or ones where people start being nasty to each other.
Read the rules, its all in there.
Any thread that heavily violates two or more rules will get closed pretty quickly.
But if it's light, a mod can usually just edit posts instead of getting rid of the whole thread.

You don't want to do that. Trust me.
sometimes threads get closed if they get too far off-topic, while mods try to clean them up some.
most mods are open to re-opening threads, even ones that turn controversial, if the interest is there to continue the gist of the topic. as always, the rules are pretty comprehensive on this.
if you have a question about a thread in particular, feel free to email or pm the mod who closed it for an explanation.

Let's not forget the last Thread I saw that
was recently closed:
McCartney on drugs
The Topic was steering into "Drugs -- Help or Hinder Creativity..."
They had to put a Stop to that!
Controversy begin to rear it's ugly head.
Not Political.
Not Religious.
It was on Topic and of valid concern and debate to Musicians.
Anything Controversal.

Maybe it was closed because it was a topic that had been done to death a hundred times before?
Did you bother to PM the mod who closed it and asked why it was closed?

If the criteria for closing a Thread is because it had been
done to death a hundred times before at TB...
Better close all threads regarding Warwick or Fender,
because it's all in the archives...
Uh Oh!
Getting nasty.
Time to Close her down!

lets just bitch in public instead of simply asking...
Donne, I closed it for one reason only.
Drugs are illegal (right or wrong is not my point)
Paul doesn't need a friggin lawsuit cause some dumb kid took a TB post as meaning "Do Heroin or Coke and play as good as hendrix or entwistle, sing as good as Joplin or Morrison, etc". Catches a cab to the local dealer and shots himself up dead... Mom and Pop "wonder why Johnny turned bad" and starts browsing the family computers history.
threads about illegal stuff get closed too.
Donnie, take you issues up with Paul, or find another site to discuss anything you want. This isn't music related, so I am moving it to OT. I would close it, but I don't really feel like being responsible for the irony of it.

Should have said that in my first post, shouldnt I? But sometimes you just cant necessitiate for every opportunity.
You know, sometimes people astound me. Just because we're on the internet doesnt suddenly mean drugs are legal...

How's that work since the internet isn't limited to just the US? FE: if somebody in Jamaica posted somethign about smoking weed to increase creativity(granted it would just make things funnier, but still), would that be againt forum rules since it's not illegal there?
