Yes agree too much in Active thread is not healthy.
I believe the point we are trying to bring up is, this is a trend only in Fuji subforum, and it is not happening elsewhere in other subforum. If this is the rules-of-engagement in ClubSnap, then all moderators should play by the rule. And not only 1 player.
Some threads have 2 to 3 pages, and closed by the mod.
And the Thread Starter did not get a good reply, AND started another thread again. Doesn't this result in a more messy forum then?
This will be similar to your having many shops and no business view.
In fact, keep 1 thread active is more informative than have multiple threads coz the original one is locked.
However, I do agree that if the thread really really goes off-topic, there is flaming, etc etc, then the Mod has the right to close it, or split the thread ( I am sure there is such a function ).
So, will the relevant Moderators, kindly look into this seriously.
Yes, it does not seems like an issue, as many ClubSnap Fujifilm Sub-Forumers are keeping quiet and neutral to this. But judging from the number of post in Fuji Subforum, which is not many as compared to Canon and Nikon, the problem might be due to the nature of the Moderator's approach on governing the forum.
PS: I am a regular reading, but rarely post as I am but a casual photographer.
