I'm thinking about installing this mod, but my Moderators are looking for this to be added...

They want a post to be added at the end of the thread explaining why the thread was closed.

Now...it's a "gimme" as to why the thread is being closed...it's self-explanatory to those who install it, or to those who are informed about it...however, simply closing the thread after x amount of days doesn't fully explain to the original poster as to why the thread was closed. A simple post following the below script could be used for this, giving the user a reason:

"Due to inactivity, this thread has been closed. If you are the original poster of this thread, you can contact a Moderator to have it re-opened, or simply start a new thread."

Having the above script listed as the last post within that thread would eliminate the need of constantly explaining why the thread was closed in the first place...see my point?

To be perfectly honest, someone should create a mod for staff and Administrators, that could be used for the following reasons:
  1. Inactivity
  2. Unnecessary arguing
  3. Flaming
  4. Language
  5. Bigotry
  6. Etc., etc.

If any of the above pertain to a certain thread, the staff could simply use Thread Tools to close the thread and select one of the above reasons...the hack would close the thread and post a generic reply to the thread, within the last post, explaining why the thread was closed.

To me...this would be the perfect addition to this, or a similar mod.

Thanks for listening...
