Can you close all the threads that are honeypots for people to post infinite variations of the same opinion

Tia

P.s.: please close the ones where people at least tried to be funny, last, to make a point about the purpose of this forum

The point of honeypots is to attract a lot of bad posters so they can be identified and eliminated. I think the most obnoxious postrrs shoulf be brandrd and put om sudden death probation

See the idea here is old good threads can be gold mined and then a new thread made.... in their place! and in the mean time maybe new cool threads came be given a chance to pop up.

you keep closing down all the threads I'm posting in, and since I'm ruling out the possibility that it's because I'm a terrible poster i think it might be the case that you're going mad with power

I rail against this idea, because I am a high functionin autisms and its hard for me to differentiate no content shitposts from every other kind of shitpos you could call it shitpostblindness.

his true goal is to close every thread so people will actually read his HORNY TOAD thread and recognize his encyclopedic knowledge of HORNY TOADs

but it won't happen, it'll never happen

Did you now that Horny Toads do not have 9 lives? But they do have an "escape clause" in that they can detatch their tail in case of an emergency and regrow a new body from the tail just like a mushroom.

It doesn't really mean anything, though. They just go out "of sight, out of mind," and then we ask ourselves if anyone even goes back to re-read old threads and the answer is probably "only a few bored nerds do."

IMO if a thread is active you are free to reply to it for any reason relevant to the topic. I'm not a mod, tho, so your mileage may vary.

it's a strange attractor for GBS mods - they all somehow get the idea that they need to Do Something as a moderator and since closing popular threads is Something, they must Do it
