ok once again I may be being thick here but when someone requests a thread to be closed surely they give a reason generally? So if they say "I want it closed as I am leaving" then yes fair enough making a new thread is for the best, but if on the other hhnad they say "I am unhappy with the dirrection in which the thread is going" then maybe the best sction would be to speak to those invovled in the thread to see if a solution can be reached before closing it? Of course if it's just a case of requests appearing without reasons then I can understand why the former is done prior to discussion - to be on the safe side as it were. But in my mind surely when requesting a thread closure someone has to give a reason/justification for the request?
