Topic: Old topics not discussed (Read 310 times)
Automatically locking such threads can be a good initiative. It will prevent a situation where a member posts reply on a old thread which is completely irrelevant in current situation.
I think old topics should be automatically locked if there was any responses in last 60 days for example. There is only problem we have with old topics - very often it's bumped by necro posters or bots.
But as long these old topics aren't bumped, they don't cause any problems. Leaving old topics unlocked isn't against the rules.
Yes, you are rightBut as long these old topics aren't bumped, they don't cause any problems. Leaving old topics unlocked isn't against the rules.
Good advice. it might be better to be able to take a policy if the topic has not been discussed for a long time, it is better to lock it automatically, because it reduces the risk of lack of quality topics.

Those threads are not getting locked for avoiding repetitive threads and you have done that one exactly. If those threads get locked, one has to create new thread for discussing on a specific topics.
We, as members who often read, must warn them that their posts have been discussed.Of course, try to look at old strands, many don't work anymore, they even repeat them, and lots of threads that don't have quality. It looks like it needs to be locked if it doesn't work, reduces spam, and if it's not locked, it will cause many posts that are less qualified. Only a suggestion.
You're correct that many threads on the forum needs to be locked,and this very thread is actually one of them..
You've just brought a report of users who's threads are inactive,but not locked, but didn't put forward any means by which we should combat such..
And considering it's not against the rules to leave threads unlocked,i do not see what you're suggesting here,the forum needs to encourage users to lock up their threads when discussions come to an end,but most users aren't here for the betterment of the forum,they simply create threads that births spam upon spam, without really caring...
Most of those treads really are inactive,but a majority of them surely would be useful to some, even though the discussions are going slowly,its far better than page upon page of the same generic replies

if the thread is locked then there will be more pages to add in that page count. We can't stop people from creating threads that are discussed already but they still create the thread and k0er is right there is no rule that stated if the topic is not active already it is needed to be locked.

I agree with this.
Yes, some threads are irrelevant and just gets repetitive replies.
Yes, this is a problem as it adds to the number of spam mega threads on the forum.
Yes, several suggestions has been made on how to deal with the spam.
No, there has been no official decision made on open threads.
Since suggestions are being brought to the table, could we have a thread on meta, were users can suggest solutions to problems in the forum?
This could reduce the number of threads and repetitive suggestions on the same topic.

Come on, try to find something that requires authors to lock their topics.
Sometimes I see some of their topics less useful, almost everything is like rubbish, it seems like it needs to be followed up on a useless topic, so people out there read it happily to see it if the topic is useful. Come on, try to find something that requires authors to lock their topics.

Hello friends
I see the number of pages as many as 2194 pages, but this page I see no one talking about it, and why they don't lock the topic if it's not discussed, yes, I know that their topic is very long, but if they don't discuss why it's not locked.
What do you think if I question this?
I question this, because I see there are some topics that are less useful, or what you think about pages as many as 2194.
Sorry if you have a topic on this page.
