Dunno ... perhaps because whomsoever it was asked for the thread to be closed ... !
Seems logical!
If whomsoever it was asked for the thread to be closed ... and asked for the thread to be renamed ...
"Dimblefootache splat (Closed)", then presumably, the Mods would oblige.
If whomsoever it was just said ... "Hey, just close this thread" ... then ... I suppose that's what happens ...
Whomsoever's wishes were complied with ...
Seems perfectly logical to me ...
But then, I am not a Mod ...

When a thread is closed, in your example, Dimblefootache splat, the creator of the can rename it to "Dimblefootache splat CLOSED". You will see many such threads ending with "CLOSED", but if you wish to search for a thread to read it's contents (eg nobodys threads - you cant read mine because the mods have deleted all my threads) - you can do so by the description before the word 'CLOSED'

However, eg, if the mods wish to disguise a closed thread because it contains the words Cafe@Home, they might rename the thread to just the word 'CLOSED' to make it more difficult to find that thread.

No mod should amend the content of a post or rename a thread title to doctor it to suite their purposes.

Why are the names of Closed threads being renamed?

Why aren't they all being renamed to "CLOSED"?
