I wish the Talk Board would sort out when the forum questionnaire that was created by a prior Talk Board is appropriate, as it's not clear to me at all now after some recent threads.
When a Talk Board member wanted to close the Travel News forum, it wasn't mentioned until three weeks after the thread was started. If it's important, why didn't a Talk Board member bring it up the first couple days?
When a Talk Board member wants to close Gambling Loyalty, the questionnaire is not even mentioned in the thread.
When a member proposes a Smoking forum, I raised the topic about the forum creation questionnaire and no Talk Board members responded. It is now up for a vote without a questionnaire.
Maybe it's time for the current Talk Board to vote out the questionnaire created by a prior Talk Board if you're not going to regularly use it for proposals to open and close forums.
