Well, I was agreeing with Sinth for the reasons he shared there, and extending the things he said to mean the whole forum.

The closing of threads is too commonplace. In an ideal world, threads would only be closed if they needed to be (in situations of spam, flamewars, and other volatile situations). In almost all other instances, moving a thread does the job just fine. Removal is mostly for spam, and for board-clearing. You should have a good reason to remove a thread if you aren't the author. The thread author always has the right to do whatever they'd like to the thread.
