I'm sure it's been talked about and asked for before, but I just want to bring it up again. What's the harm in setting the system to lock threads with no new posts in the last 30 days?
For instance:
Original Post
hey u call me a noob twin tail u ought to be abkle to take the pain :mad:
Last real reply
I mean I don't see what the problem is we all have a abkle humbker every now and then. :O
Reply that bumped it to today
I MEANT TO SAY ABLE :aok
A totally unecessary bump of a totally useless thread. Auto-lock of stale threads would have saved us from useless crap like this.

Then again, when everyone does the "SEARCH" thing when you ask for a plane here, what do you do after you find it? Bump it? :lol
-
HTC doesn't code the BBS they use third party software so that feature would have to already be built in. Either way I think rather than an auto lock feature something like a pop up that said "You are about to reply to a thread that has been idle for more than 14 days. Do you wish to continue?" would be the best solution.

Rule #10?
Just make a new post and perhaps quote the relevant part of the post you found. Quotes include a link to the original post, so people could easily get to the old post without much hassle.

Oh, you funny guy! :P
He and I threaten to kick each other out of the squad many times...but never seem to get around to it. :D
Maybe I'll challenge him to DA for the Squad CO title. :lol

let me get back to you on this subject some time in 2010.

I'd prefer the thread creator have the ability to lock/delete his or her thread. That would be a much better solution.

Does no one see the irony here?

Bad idea - I can see someone posting an absolutely nasty message and locking it right away so nobody can respond. Then we'll have hundreds of single-post, locked threads polluting the forums.
I understand the BBS software might not have this feature, or HTC decided to not implement it - but hey, we can wish.

You can still report posts in locked threads.

but denholm, the witch hunts would never get locked or deleted by the thread creator, Skuzzy would still have A LOT to do.

I really don't think an auto-lock would change the fact that people are still going to post garbage every once in a while. He would have the same amount of work either way. However some users realize their mistakes and would appreciate the ability to lock or better yet erase the thread they started.
