How do you request that a thread be closed?

You can also report the most offending post, like the last one of his in the thread where he states he doesn’t give a f..., after he’s gotten all that he needs from the forum.
 
Just give a holler. This should be a great place to hang out. Angela M. is paid staff so is here every day, so for a speedy reply, she's the best person to contact. I'm a volunteer, and here sporadically. :)

This is a very good strategy because it sends that post straight to the admin’s “report” section along with your message expressing concern. There is a little “report” check-box after every post.
