why are threads closed so early?

I have noticed whenever a thread gets going, it is edited or closed by a moderator... Some good older threads are in the pool room and were never moderated.. but if some of those threads were current then they would be moderated immediately. I am not having a go at the moderators at all, I am just wondering how come there seems to be stronger moderating now?

The mods are pretty good at telling whats going to be a fun thread with a "fun" level of piss taking. These are left open, and normally turn into a Pool Room type thread...because everyone is in good spirit and knows how far to take things without causing trouble.

On the other end of the scale, are threads that turn into shit fights. Arguments over stupid things escalate quickly, and get locked even quicker.

Can I ask, which threads are you referring to exactly??
