Two huge threads some of the largest ever produced on the forum are gone. If the 1500 replies in the last one passed forum requirements then why would one or two at the end suddenly make all the rest invalid. Seems to me that you either ban the subject at the start if it does not meet the guidelines or you manage it or close it if it becomes unmanageable. Once again a lot of people's time and effort has been erased with the push of a button.
