case 0: explained through the links in the last line of my signiture.
case 1: a moderator closed it because "the dev's already released their decision". IMO everything about the game is and should be opened for discussion, not only "to try to change the dev's opinions", but the fact is such discussions outline the concerns of those who disagree, & flashout potential reprucssions that might need to be dealt with and brainstorms solutions and alternative accomidations to those concerned, or at the very least least brings new players into the sendbox community by lightening up their concerns.
case 2: i'm no tech, but i'm sure some people know enough about UE3 engine map file sizes combined with our info about MO's first released land size to have helped him if that discussion was allowed to continue.
case 3: the mod closed it for saying the OP is wrong while the moderator was wrong himself - yes there was such a "leak" starvault is a listed company and anyone going into their stock profolio can find there schedual.
case 4: while everyone who read anything i said will know i disagree with the OP, the fact is the DH topic is one with a huge spectrum of sub-topics & aspects and threads focusing on specific aspect aren't spam, they are actually needed for us to have cleaner and more capable discussions.
case 5: just like the case above, this is a specific sub-topic of a wide-range spectrum topic (magic). just like we can have threads about magic GUI and threads about magic's role and threads about magic's challange curve and threads about specific schools of magic, we can have a thread about non-ranged magic.
case 6: i have really nothing to say - absolutely no good reason for locking that thread.
case 7: again a specific aspect of another thread is not the same as the other thread.
7 sins off the tip of my head
