Thread inactivity warning

[TheVenom27]

Necroposting is a rule we've all broken. Even if you're active a lot, it happens. I suggest that threads that have been inactive for 2 weeks or more give a warning about their inactivity when a user clicks on the thread.

Example: "Warning: Thread has been inactive for more that two weeks"

This is one of the things I really like about spigot forums. It would be cool if this were added.

Never heard of spigot but sure :P

Or what about the thread gets locked 2 weeks after the last post? I support this idea! :)

The community keeps rejecting that idea. I suggest a different solution.

Do a poll please I agree with your choice

Yes. I like this. With a warning, it will most likely decrease the amount of necro-posting

This thread was almost necroposted on
Oh the Irony



As for this suggestion it would encourage players to bump a lot

Agreed, prime example of necroposting.

Now obviously I am over exaggerating here but this sort of thing may still happen

Indeed ^^ That has been suggested a few times before already and I agree. Though, introduction and news threads don't have to be locked if someone necro-posted as a Staff Member has said that they don't have to be locked if someone necro-posted.

Or autolock?

Autolock for other threads than news or introduction threads is possible yes. Someone showed me.

Maybe not autolock if that suggestion has already been declined serveral times (or just locking the post). I think a change to this suggestion could be that if no one posts on the thread for over 2 weeks, it gets automatically moved to a "public archive" where players can still see the thread and read replies. The thread would still exist, it doesn't have to be locked, and users will be aware the thread is old. ☁​

Forum games
Also I have said this before there are so many different threads that have approval to not apply to necroposting like tournaments or give us feedback threads

This idea of auto locking has been rejected by the community and staff countless times in the past.
