= Closurism
= Closurist
{synonym}
Closurism is a term invented by <Ciro Santilli> to refer to <content moderation> policies that lock threads in online forums, preventing people from adding new comments from that point onward.
This is similar to <deletionism> but a bit less worse, as the pre-existing content is maintained. But new relevant content that comes up cannot be added in the future, so it is still bad.
The outcome of closurism is that new forum posts must then be made about up-to-date aspects of the topic. But then those may fail to reach the same <PageRank>, so most people never get the new information, or create new posts leading to useless duplication of work.
