I know there is several different reasons the mods do it but their is also several alternatives to doing so.
For instance when a good thread turns bad due to trolling/asshatery why not just temp/perm ban the instigators and leave the thread open for those who were having a real discussion.
(isn't this why you gave us the ability to rate posts ?)
Honestly thought getting a single thread full of trolls/aholes would be ideal for the blizzard staff because it allows them to find the bad apples and stamp them out fairly quickly.
Besides trolls/aholes do not care when a thread gets closed they simply just look for the next thread to make a MASKED INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE REMOVED out of themselves and others, so blizzard is essentially just punishing those who were being responsible and contributing to a thread.
