If it's such a big problem then I'm sure a Forum PM to Darlene (or the moderator himself) explaining the situation is all it would take to get it reopened.

Well, USUALLY. It's unfortunate, but Admins and moderators don't always see things from your perspective. It's..difficult..to make them understand what you're trying to say sometimes.
Like Inverness said. Just because they can doesn't make it right. They can start closing random threads if they wanted, but do you think that's a very smart thing to do?

And since Darlene already posted and was seemingly annoyed at this thread(for whatever reason, I don't know!), she of course didn't want to reopen it. Regardless of it being against the rules, she didn't want to do so because she didn't like the thread. And yes, it was attempted. This is the same with most appeals around here, they don't like undoing their decisions. You know, makes them look wrong. Can't have that!

The only reason this thread is back open is because Sam had an interest in it.
