About Grave Digging/Necro Posting

Necro Posting has gotten a little out of hand. Newer members just join and do not read. It's annoying for so many of us.
Multiple warnings/bans are given out but it still happens. It just makes us look low quality.

I just think that allot of old shops and threads in the general discussion section should be locked.
I think Forumotion provides something to lock old threads, though.

It's not hard to look at the top middle or left of a post and see when it was posted.
Today is the 29th of December 2011, if a thread was posted October 1st 2009 and hasn't been replied to in over a year then why post in it? The members have probably gone inactive and the thread is really no use.

Necro Posting (Necro Posting is reviving a topic that has died for more than 1 month unless it is yours and you're bumping it with something useful)
^Remember that.

Yea... anything you guys can do?

I just noticed the feedback and support forum... whoops...

Ask an admin/mod to move this topic to that sub forum.

and yes omg it's getting annoying.

yea, hopefully by looking at this thread people will learn not to do it, thanks Neji ^^.

oh and also when someone does do this u should not post there later for any reason (flaming em, tellin em to delete their post, etc). it just further bumps the topic, which we dont want.

agreed ive allready suffered from this kind of misunderstanding,i dont want any1 els to suffer from the same.

Someone just necroposted... AGAIN.

It needs to be stopped seriously.

Here's a nice idea.
Shop Keeper- Moderates the shops section.
Or... ANZO LOCK IT YU LAZY BUM. ._.
I'll be looking through the Forumotion panel and i'll see if I find something.

Edit:
There is something in the General Section of the panel

Go to General>Modify a forum(the orange gear)>Scroll down

Bad news. That is not a good way to do it. You know, forum posts is the forums value, its history. If we delete old topics it will be like we deleted part of us. Pruning can be done to archive too, but even forumotion advises not to do it unless its some crazy active forum like themselves. There are many bad things that happen with pruning so its not an option.

Good news. DONE by Amy Cool, the awesome and sexy admin. How? Well, you don't ask the mistress of Gishki what happens after some ceremony of hers executes at the bottom of the sea.

P.S. I don't want to see anymore whining about it. Only thing you can do now is praise Amy, even if it needs a new topic for it.


P.S.2 Do you feel the jail around you?? Since everything around you is simply LOCKED! ::Monkey5::







P.S.3 DPs earned by this human act of mine: 1 DP.
