I agree with you, but as you have probably noticed, it has only been happening recently, and recently is when Nerfhaven's bandwidth has been getting overwhelmed. They are just trying to save bandwidth by closing the threads that aren't going anywhere.
I'm going to have to agree with hedgehog also. I can understand when someone gets banned for multiple offenses and spamming, but when someone makes a simple mistake, swearing, flaming, and banning does not fix the problem. In fact it probably just provokes the person even more, causing them to post topics like this (I have no problem with this topic), and so starts the cycle again.
What the hell. This is the worst attempt at a mod I have ever seen, in fact, it really isn't a mod anyway. The toilet paper would get soggy with sweat and fall off. The flashlight is held on by scotch tape. No offense dude, but I would really try to clean up what is left of your reputation.
