    Default some threads must die...

    sometimes a thread outlives its usefulness.

    for example:
    http://bbs.civony.com/showthread.php?t=4673

    Many people are looking to the forum for answers regarding medal drops, but this 36 page behemoth has degenerated and is mostly useless. Time to close it in my humble opinion.

    There IS a need for a current thread to discuss medal drops. more than 1 thread actually.

    - one for posting reports of medal drops so players can estimate what it now takes to get drops.

    - one for players to express their displeasure over the fact that things change. (not really necessary, but it will happen anyway. I'm sure it will need to monitored closely)

    - and of course the guides/FAQs that have generic info about medal drops.

    I suggest that the final post direct people to the appropriate threads to continue any useful discussions about the topic, and then close it.

    I dedicate this topic to identifying those threads that should be treated similarily. The decision of course is up to the moderators, this is merely a place to identify possible candidates for closure.

    edit: gonna paste a few links about medals here that seem current and on topic as I find them.

    This one was great (and is stickied) but the data is no longer valid

    from the guides section: one that gives pre-update strategy, got off topic, and is (rightly) closed, then refers people to the thread I am recommending also be closed.

    I guess thread 4673 could become the "complaint" thread, but I would not refer people to it from the guides forum

    Not exactly sure why this is in the Harassment Report Forum...

    I was pretty disappointed when the moderators closed the poll forum. Was very curious to see how many people voted yes for having received a medal..... I would much rather a one look than scrolling through all those posts.

    Fair enough, my original reason for posting was that the topic had degenerated and there were more personal attacks taking place than actual discussion.
