How do I close a thread?

mrcheez

I requested my thread be closed by contacting the forum mods.

Only one acknowledged receipt of the message and even asked for clarification on which thread, but no further action was taken??

The forum is "Development" under Software and Web Development - https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=25

The thread is "Contract rates 2019" - https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057975211

Cheers

We generally don’t close threads, even if requested by the OP. the main reason being that continued discussion can be wanted by other posters.

We do make exceptions, and of course, threads can be closed as part of moderation activities.

I suppose the question to ask of why you feel the thread should be closed?

mrcheez

The thread completely veered off topic and descended into a completely unrelated discussion filled with negativity toward contracting and several posts with false information.

I made note of this here:
https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=110077379&postcount=67

Also I've seen many threads closed at the OP request. I don't regurlarly make requests like this so I want the thread closed so that the topic can remain precisely what the subject matter is: what the current contract rates are...not a debate about the merits or lack thereof of contracting

Anyone visiting the thread has to Wade through almost 70 posts to get to the information, most of which is unrelated.

Posts on the thread seem to have ceased so it may no longer be an issue, but I'll revisit again if it boils up

whoops seems I spoke too soon

please close the thread as requested, thanks

I am not seeing a strong reason to close the thread. People wish to continue discussing, and despite being the OP, you are not the owner of the thread. Ultimately it is up to the forum mods to decide if the thread should be shut.
