The official ask Traggey thread.

[Traggey]

At what point during a thread's derailing do you decide to close it or otherwise intervene? Is there some systematic way you prefer or does it solely depend on the things being posted?

Also, what conditioner do you use to maintain your glorious head of hair?

If a thread is posted in for example the off topic section I generally don't touch it at all, derailing and wacky stuff is to be expected from that section, most of the times when I close threads is because they've derailed so much that there is no discussion going on about the main topic of the thread at all.
I get plenty of private messages from thread creators asking me to close threads because they're simply too out of wack, in some cases I simply close the thread for about a day or so to let it cool off.

PS: I don't actually use conditioner, nor do I brush my hair, ever.
It's just like that.
