That is awesome! Yeah I don't think it's always possible to talk to people about their threads first, it just depends on the circumstances. We do try to tell people through PM why their thread was closed or as the last post of the thread.
I don't think you can rely on the thread starter to keep the thread on track because not everyone returns and they shouldn't be responsible for poor behaviour/circular arguements, unless they're involved.
