One of JT's policies is that, if a user starts calling names, throwing insults at one another, then a thread should be closed or locked as it used to be called on the older software.
Gaz asked this very question over the in Questions, Announcements forum and as Mousebounce said, if he continues to abuse people in this way, then threads WILL be closed. What is difficult to understand about this? Until Gaz can grow up, and STOP his CONTINOUS insults, then threads are going to CONTINUE to be ruined. The users have gazthomas to blame for the current state of affairs at Jovitalk, NOT The Moderators.
You have to understand that we have done our utmost to ensure that this message board has a high degree of freedom of speach. gaz completely ruined his chances of ever having a say due to the fact that he cannot stop acting like a child. This is not an unsult. It is merely a fact and any other person in this community will tell you the same. The moderators have (and will continue) to keep this board free of insults, just like it should be. This community is filled with a complete range of different ages, cultures and personalitires, and is difficult enough to keep every single person happy at all times. We have to go with the majority when decisions need to be made regarding troublesome users such as gazthomas. I am sure most here will agree with us that it is best to keep the board free of this kind of language, rather than to let it continue.
Any further issues or concerns, please PM one of the moderating team or admin, and we will happy to answer any questions that you may have.
Regards

I understand you reasons, well not totally but that would be just me I noticed, but sorry, closing a thread is the stupiest thing imo you can do. If the insults didnt spoil a thread for someone, closing it will do. THen just delete the post...
Plus with closing the thread, you will ruin it for EVERYBODY not just the instultposter
Also, again, now its much easier to ruin a thread, a insultpost can be deleted, or adjusted so the thread can go on, next to that it is not only the insultpost wich is irritating, but also all the responces on that insultposts.
Lets have a nice thread, 20 nice posts, Mr X comes by and thinks, 'hey that thread is going too friendly', so an insult, bam trhead closed, while other people would still like to react ON-topic.
If you like the board to be Mr X-free than ban him, block him from posting, if he comes back under another name, ban him again & again & again, eventually you don't have to anymore and I bet now you'll have to close more threads then you would have to ban
(BTW keep the thread open, delete Gaz's insulting post from these, at least it can be discussed wich you will get anyway everytime you close a thread)
