what is the policy towards when new threads are created, when an older thread has had the same discussion.
i would like to use the example of the injury thread: http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?t=66551
before i continue, i want to make it clear that i'm not actually protesting the closing of the thread, rather questioning the policy towards such actions.
i think, that if a discussion has taken place in a relatively recent period of time, then i would say its quite reasonable to close and refer to the older thread. but as in this case, when the thread is about a year old, i find it "old news".
you would be naive to think that you can have archived, singular threads of information, when the regular posting public is continuously changing.
i'd think that this usually does happen, through a lack of application of mod powers (not in a bad way). but in this case, i think without wings remembered her post (#32) in the old thread.
