How do we determine whether a thread can be closed? Is there a time limit to be reached before closing the thread?



Appreciate the reply.

We never close threads. There is no need. You see when users stop responding to a thread, it gets demoted automatically. The threads are arranged choronologically according to the most recent post made to the thread.

If we are promoting some material to the FAQ, we may want to close the thread. Otherwise, there is no need. I hope this makes sense. If not, let me know, we will give you a call. Thanks.
 
sometimes it might happen such that after some productive discussion, the language gets bad and to prevent vitriol from pouring out you might want to stop further posts. Would it be a condition for closing a thread? Does closing a thread takes it off the forum? Just curious...

No, closing does not take it off. The thread becomes "read only." If people will not stop misbehaving after you ask them to, let me know. I will politely request them. That works all the time. If not, I will take it from there. Thanks.
