Ancient necros

[quote=Lugignaf]I've been seeing quite a few old threads pop up lately and people have just been replying to them like they're new. Can we have something like, a force lock if a thread is over a year old with no replies if it's not stickied?[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]^I think that's a good idea.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]I liked [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/mobafire-support/necro-alert-11088#lastcomment]Nameless' suggestion[/url] better. There are cases where it's better for a thread to remain open, even if it's old. Sometimes people will bump a thread when the discussion becomes relevant again. I think a warning to new users is a more appropriate response to the problem than auto-locking all the old threads. I realize that reopening old threads isn't always a good thing, but I think removing the option has the potential to cause more problems. EDIT: Also, there are plenty of threads that get necroed before they are a year old. Nameless' suggestion allows for a warning system to be used MUCH earlier than that (I think a couple months would be fine), whereas an auto-lock system can't happen too soon or it might end up closing discussions that are still relevant.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]But still, at a year of no posts, I think it should be auto-locked.[/quote]

[quote=Matt]That suggestion for a warning before posting is a good idea. If they get a warning and still proceed, and it was in poor taste, then we are justified from there to step in and smack them.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]well...I think a warning at first with an eventual autolock on threads more than a year old makes sense. But that's just me.[/quote]

[quote=Matt]Wouldn't you rather bait people into self-destruction for our entertainment though?[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]when you put it that way..................[/quote]

[quote=Matt]Lol... It does make sense, a year is a long time, just that there are some sticky/FAQ type threads that are very old but shouldn't necessarily be locked.[/quote]
