Petition to reopen "Are Migrant workers responsible for the slump in UK [...]"!

[Manisch Depressiv]

Such a good thread, clean it up and reopen it please, or?

[tris-]

mods arnt paid you know

[Morphius]

I for one would like to see it reopened, it was an interesting thread until it got taken down to childish insults, if those posts could be removed and the discussion continued i'd appreciate it greatly.

So the thread was closed because people started arguing?

If so then.. why the hell is that? Thats not a reason to close a thread. If someone breaks the rules then ban him but dont close the damn thread. Let people argue if they want to.

It's simple, you can't actually have a proper discussion in the OT w/o it being dragged down.

[Sharma]

Simple answer, no.

Mainly because it'll just turn into a shitstorm again.

Once a threads closed it's incredibly rare that it'll ever be re-opened.

Too bad, as a Polish with family in England I felt like I had something worthy to add to it .

But why is that a reason? If people want to argue then why do you have to be there to stop that?

I dont get it.

argument is fine, but its when it starts breaching CoC etc then people hav to step in!

The thread derailed, I understand why it got closed.

And when it does the mods ban those who breach it.


Why does that have to result in locking the thread?


Manisch: Thats not a reason either. If the thread gets derailed then it does. If people rather discuss something else than the topic then why shouldnt they be allowed? Locking the thread wont make them discuss the topic.
