Closing of Threads
I realize that some of the folks that read these agree with the moderator on her policy of closing these threads the very moment someone posts something negative about a position. I would like you ...

As anyone in business knows there will always be at least one disgruntled employee for whatever reason and usually is not substantiated.
The employee who feels the need to complain publicly is usually the one that was at fault anyway.
Allowing this type of rhetoric to go on and on ad nauseum on a PUBLIC forum CAN and DOES affect a business.
And no I don't think CG's, Park's, Resorts sit and read the forum daily to respond. They use it to post the the job wanted and move on.
And professionally it is never prudent to respond to those type of people who complain 'after the fact'. Employee's should always address a problem AT the time TO the employer. Not afterwards on a public forum to hear themselves yammer on and on.
These threads from employees with chronic complaints who are trying to justify how they were treated or for being fired, 'their' view of the conditions,etc NEED to go poof. Kudo's to the mod.
I do not disagree with the concept of removing a poster FOR CAUSE. But that does not mean that the entire thread must be closed. And overreacting to one or two disgruntled people does nothing for the rest of us who may actually find value in the post staying open.
I also agree with your statement of how an employee should behave. But this is the Real World full of Social Media where entire sites like Glass Door are dedicated to "outing" bad employers. This is a trend far past changing.
But here I feel the Mods actions are actually hurting the thread not helping it. By closing entire threads you are playing into what these disgruntled (possible) employees want. Simply delete the offending post if it has transgressed the rules.
