Another aspe to consider is of he has been following up with the thread or not, some are fond of creating a thread and leaving while the topic remains a controversial area of concentration by many to discuss on, this doesn't shows anything than we need to see to the reasons why we do somethings and how we are being desperate on seing them going well as intended, than creating them and leaving.
Regardless of he follows the thread or not, there is a point this discussion will get to and it automatically becomes a spam thread and at that point the moderators will lock the thread, I understand how it a pain in the ass to so ops creating threads and there after abandoning the thread for whatsoever reasons.
I have seen a couple of threads that are similar to this abd if my guess is right it the means ops is likely a spammer that creates multiple threads without following the discussions therein.
