OMGAKITTY Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I'm not sure about the realism of what I'm about to suggest, but there should be some way to implement an automatic thread lock on threads that haven't been posted in x amount of time (say, a month). That would stop idiots from necrobumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas Angel Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I think I might have seen something like that before... or it could've been an auto delete? :P I don't remember, but I don't support because when a thread is locked, you can no longer edit its contents. And I needed to edit an old thread just two days ago to keep an old idea fresh and away from the eyes of others. =/ Sorry Catbus, no support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JoshIcy Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Doing such things would prevent people who left etc, from editing their own threads and bumping it. Even after I unlock it. No support at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just tired of replying to threads that were made in december of last year, and the realizing after I've posted that....its a thread from december of last year.

bury the year Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Don't support. Sometimes you might've left a thread untouched, like a fic, and want to rework it. Locking a thread wouldn't help that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enma Ai Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Unfortunatly there isnt a plugin that i know of, capable of such a task, there is however a similar plugin that lets you delete old threads, but that would cause uproars of members losing their post count. There is however a way around this, YCMaker is able to make a forum called "Trashcan" maybe in the "Other" section under introductions. And he can Lock the section so nobody can post in any thread in that section. But what it does is, he can make it so that after a set amount of time of being inactive (Lets say 1 month) they automatically get sent to the "Trashcan" Forum. But to your Suggestion, I have to disagree, sorry, but "No Support" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
