To ask mumsnet to remove closed posts, so I don't end up reading a million pages and getting excited to post!

[OopsDearyMe]

I was really enjoying that post... The one that got closed.. You know the one.

I read 10 pages then went to post and found it closed.

V annoying.

So ....

I don't understand what you mean by closed posts and I don't know which thread you mean.

However, I have my settings so that I read one continuous thread, rather than lots of pages.

10 pages, 100 posts a page, so 1000 posts. The maximum size for a thread.

How pesky that MN threads have a maximum size.

If people are still talking about the topic a 'part 2' thread will appear (ideally with same OP). Some discussions run to tens of threads

There was a post that was discussing the lazy tattooed benefit claimant ... I went to post and it said the thread was closed! This has happened a few times...

Oh right.

That's because for some reason MN has a 1000 post limit on each thread. I think it might be something to do with ancient servers.

Closed (not deleted) as it reached 1000 posts

I wish zombie threads had a warning at the beginning. Just a Z would be fine.

That thread needed to fill as there was some terrible victim blaming on it

I thought everyone was just taking the piss out of the OP

Well yes the piss was taken but the thread somehow moved on to DV and one poster kept victim blaming and being really nasty
