In light of the recent and numerous necros, it got me thinking about preventing useless bumps. Is there a way to automatically lock threads that have been inactive for X amount of time? It doesn't have to be a small amount of time; most boards are slow enough that topics often stay on the first page for a month or more, anyways.
Perhaps after 90-180 days if a thread has had no comments, it would automatically lock. There are a few benefits to this: number one, old thread can't be bumped by horny dudes with lewd comments.
The second biggest benefit would be that the thread would be "archived" in a sense. I don't link to old topics because I fear they will be bumped. If the topic were locked, I'd feel more comfortable sharing old forum links. Plus, if an old subject became pregnant again, a new topic could be started and the OP could link to the old one as a reference.

No way, that's a terrible idea. I know "Wow, she's hot" bumps are annoying, but we shouldn't close out threads completely just because a few dumbos do it. What if someone has a legitimate contribution to add down the line? Like a girl who got massive gets pregnant again a year after the first pregnancy.

I'm opposed to an outright lock for the reason Pregolover100 cited, however it wouldn't be difficult to append a conditional warning/notification in old threads stating that a thread is > X days old. This warning would discourage new posts "without content" while warning the poster of a warning/suspension -- it could be displayed near the quick reply box and the reply box.
It would be unobtrusive and only show up on old threads. What do you think?

That said, I think it would work quite well of the mods follow through (and I think you guys will). My suggestion was a little extreme and did more to punish the general user than it did the few offenders.

I agree with the idea of a warning system, though I have to also agree with smashedpotatos' point "...I imagine these are the same people that hound women in the YouTube comments section, so I doubt they'd think twice". I had suggested the notion of automatic posting holds for new accounts in another thread; another moderator seemed to think it was worth considering, and I also believe that while it doesn't seem like we've had problems with it, it would do well to mitigate automated spam as well.

Since there is a warning system? Can the mods just warn people when they necro? Eventually temp banning them form posting?

I actually like posts being brought back. Sometimes I've forgotten they exist and it's nice to see them again

Threads shouldn't be made until AFTER a model/celebs confirms it themselves. |
