[STAFF] Why don't you autolock a threat after 14 days?

fedham · Jul 10, 2020

So the other day when I got on my computer I was greeted with a warning on these forums. Not sure when but I managed to reply to a thread that was 14 days old therefore bringing the forum back to life. I was thinking, if replying to an old thread is punishable, why isn't it being auto locked after the 14 day period so people don't accidentally do this. I've asked both a helper friend and a moderator on the server and they both weren't sure why auto locking isn't a thing. Anyone have an answer?

You can read my thread here that brings up this same suggestion, and review some of the comments that other players bring up regarding this idea. One of the main pieces of valuable feedback regarding a feature like this is quoted below.

Heya!

Im a +0.75 on this suggestion. I’d like to see a system where old threads are automatically locked and I do think that it makes the moderators job a little bit easier.

There’s one small issue that I have with this though. As the creator of the thread, you are allowed one free thread bump. If this system were to be implemented, there would need to be a way for the creator of the thread to post on it still.

Overall, this is a decent idea and I hope that it gets considered!

This point about allowing the original poster 1 free thread bump is important, as automatically locking the thread would block the user from doing so. Do give this suggestion thread a read-through though, as other users bring up some very valid & interesting points as well as tweaks to this suggestion.
