I can often kill a thread for some reason.

I can do that too Calli seems it is my special skill.
Sometimes I look at ‘I’m on’ and there I am, the last name on every thread.
Killed stone dead!

nanaK54 - I'd suggest that if either the OP or a number of GNetters reported the thread, moderators could have a look and see if there was any point in allowing further posts, without deleting the whole thread.

Yes, that's a good point

I think there should be a thread gaol

I'm in the leave it be camp. A better facility would be if threads that haven't been posted on for, say, two years, cannot be resurrected.

Ilovecheese

Is this a big problem?
I would also ask the same question as nanaK54

No, I don’t think it is.
It might be keeping others awake, who knows

Hmmm - who would decide that a thread should 'close', GNHQ or an opening poster who didn't like the direction that his/her thread had taken?

Hi @Farmor15
Unfortunately there isn't at the moment.
Locking a thread would be a really useful feature - it's on the list for future improvements.

No. They won’t do it

Is there a way of admin preventing further comments being added to a thread, without deleting it? (Apart from when it reaches 1000 posts).

Some threads become completely repetitive and further comments are pointless. Other cases are when OP posts and interesting question but never comes back. Others get revived, sometimes by spammers, after years.
In lots of comment sections of online newspapers etc, comments are closed after a certain time, though you can still read the ones posted.
