Why did my thread get closed?

[whiteflare]

I'm not trying to question moderation or anything, but I read somewhere that the poster is meant to get a PM explaining why their thread got closed?

Anyway, I was just a bit surprised, is all.

I don't know, but I do know you can't post that question, because whether you intend it to or not, it essentially reopens the topic for discussion, which is strictly against the rules. You can PM a mod if you want to know why, but posting this question publicly is a no no.

Oh, okay. It wasn't much of a topic for discussion anyway. It was one of those things that couldn't really go anywhere as far as discussion is concerned.

Okay. I'll leave it then, I'm just very curious.

You can't question the mods closing a thread at all on the forum, you must contact them privately.
