When posts are closed, why are explanations not made public? (closed)

Question

I have noticed several closed posts, even my own, with no explanation given. As a learning experience, wouldn't this be worthy of consideration?

Hola

Posts are closed because

1) They may not be forum appropriate

2) They have been discussed multiple times before

3) They are forum discussion; a private message will handle the situation.

I think the post you are referring to is this one.

As you can see in Marianne's post on that thread, she is telling you that this is something that should be discussed with Paralee privately.

I do have to agree with you on this one, though. You were asking how long it takes for a phrase to be submitted in your title, but I think Marianne thought you were saying your feedback in the post itself. She closed your post because she wanted to you do discuss any complaints to Paralee directly. In my opinion, your post did not have to be closed.

Anyway, if you ever feel like your post should be re-opened, send a PM to the admin that closed it and justify why you think it should be opened again.

He cannot send a pm as he will not know which Admin closed the post. - Eddy, Oct 2, 2011

Answer 2

We always explain or give a reason why a thread is closed, before closing it, like we did on your post!

Only administrators can close threads. As this is an administrator decision, this cannot be discussed on the forum.

Please read the rules, thanks.
