Be better Mods.
Just because a thread is generating reports doesn't mean the thread is bad or that closing it is the solution.
Reminds me of the Navy when they'd "secure" the microwave because someone cooked uncovered soup and didn't clean up after themselves, so now no one can use the microwave.
If posts get reported make a decision if the report is valid or not and if necessary take action against the poster being reported.
The way moderation seems to work around here is that nothing at all gets done until it becomes more of a PITA to ignore complaints than to act and then you overcompensate and punish people severely because you had to be bothered to get off your *** and moderate. Then when a thread is causing moderators to have to pay attention they close the thread and think they did something, which is to say they think they eliminated a source of moderating tasks.
@Nate505 stop being a moderator if you don't want to actually do it.
