Rule change - Reviving threads
There are currently two clauses in place in regard to reviving threads:-You're not allowed to comment on a thread that has been neglected for a fortnight (two weeks)
-The above rule does not apply to posts in the 'Everything Else' section
I have many threads in both the Suggestions and Support sections that are still relevant, that I'd love to revive. Unfortunately I can't, because I don't want a strike on my account, and all it'll take is for somebody to tag a staff member, whilst neglecting any excuse I give regarding the thread's relevancy.
Here is what I propose (easy mode):
-Maintain the current system, but authorise the revive if the creator of the thread themselves can justify it. Otherwise, just lock the thread and punish repeat offenders as per the current system
Alternative proposition (bit harder to maintain):
-Allow threads to be revived, assuming they're actually still relevant. This could be limited only to suggestions and support-related threads
-Do not enforce the above rule too greatly. If a thread is revived for no good reason then lock it, but only apply warnings to repeat offenders
-Automatically lock all threads that haven't been replied to for three months. I believe this was done once a long time ago. It'd be neat if it could happen again
