Yes............a moderator makes the decision. And, so far that I have seen on these forums........mod's have been pretty patient. When a thread goes out of control, and has obviously outlived it's usefullness, sometimes it needs to be shut down. Some folks don't know how to let it go.

And, I know this in reference to your original thread on garden roofs, I should have let it go sooner myself. I agreed with the mod's decision to lock it.
 
Fatboy,

This is what is lost in e-mails and on any bb is you don't have the face to face.

I don't know who closed the garden roof but from where I'm coming from is.

I only use this BB as a tool to help me be the best Building Inspector I can and to help answer questions for people in the field and on this board.

The way I do it is to be consistent and fair and learn along the way.

To be a Moderator on this BB is a lot like being an Inspector and what I was saying was a nice way would be to have a 3rd party make the call so there wouldn't be any conflict of interest.

Bootleg,



In the interest of clarity, can you please explain what is meant by a

"3rd party"? I thought ' moderators ' were the final say so

[ besides Jeff ] on this forum. Are you saying that someone besides

moderators should have the final word on closing / not closing topics?

Thanks! :cool:

in my opinion, Mod's are the 'third-party".

Myself, I would never think of closing a thread that I was actively participating in.

I doubt you could get someone who didn't participate in this BB to do ony sort of moderating.

JMHO

North Star,

A 3rd party would be a Moderator that didn't have a post/reply on the thread that the moderator closed.

Just to add it sounds like that is the way it is done already.
