I see a lot of Topics got “CLOSED” yesterday … it looks like the criteria may have been inactivity for more than 2 months.
So, apart from not being able to contribute any further post to a “Closed” Topic, what other purpose does “Closing” a Topic serve, if the reason for closing was not a CoC, or a merge situation ?
Note: All these Topics were just “CLOSED” with no stated reason given.
If the reason was that the topic was Inactive, then it would seem prudent to say so, for anyone else later reading these Closed Posts.
I assume these CLOSED Topics will NOT be DELETED, because many of them contain a lot of good information, and represent a lot of time and effort by users, to inform others of aspects of MSFS.
They also provide a wealth of information to both current users, and to new users of MSFS.
If they are considers to be “old news”, hopefully they can be moved to an Archive section, still accessible by users – if it is felt they need to be separated out form the main forum, to “Clean it up”
