Necroposting

[AFreakingCookie (Hank)]

Normally postings appear at the top of the list, but sometimes these posts have been a thing for a long time and they are at the top due to someone responded. Looking at it we think "Oh, this wont be necro posting" since some people responded to it. And if a staff member says "No necroposting" then why even bother saying that when they should just lock the thread in the first place.

Suggestion:
After 14 days, if necroposting is bad, then lock the thread! Instead of giving people warnings about something they didnt notice.

That would be useful. Because if posts are at the top means that there is just someone has responded

There are a lot of threads that don't need to be locked after two weeks like CCG memes, Cubecraft Book of World Records, and every pinned thread that you can reply to. Also threads that just give information and are made by players can't be edited later if the thread is locked. (i.e Gainfullterror's point cost thread could be locked and not be able to edited if a new game was added later with a shop)

Personally, I absolutely hate the rule. I don't see any reason why well thought out and detailed suggestions made by members like Dotsially, Snap, and Gainfullterror should be locked and replaced with a 4 sentence suggestion a week later by someone else. I'd prefer having the best suggestions always have the discussion open.

I would much rather have "No useless posts" be enforced more and Necroposting be allowed. Bumps/Replies to suggestions that have already been accepted could be useless posts. (ex: someone replies to and old add parties suggestion) Also I'd prefer if impossible or absolutely never going to be added suggestions were locked instead. Perhaps they could just replace necroposting with a simple "No irrelevant posts/bumps" as well.

necro-posting leads to farming messages which is against the rules

This has been suggested many times, but as @Power Ranger said above, some threads such as news threads and map feedback threads do not need to be locked after two weeks. Not only would this need a lot of programming, but it would most likely lead to having multiple bugs such as locking the wrong threads and not locking threads that should be locked.

I agree with the suggestion of automatically locking threads after 14 days of the last reaction.

I agree with the suggestion
