Topic: Over-replied topics - page 2. (Read 437 times)
In my opinion this is not a problem, many topics answer, it means there are still many answers that are not right and more to be discussed and answered. on topic when finished will be locked by moderator, and no answer anymore
Something I think that would be great is if a thread autolocked after xx amount of days or hours with no reply in them. So many threads are opened by newbie accounts who disappear or never come back to lock the thread once they have been answered.
This also would stop a thread from turning into a spam topic unless reopened by the OP

I agree. We don't need to have a four line paragraph in every reply and yet the thought you want to say is only one. We should answer the topic with brief and complete thought. Maybe they doing that for them to have a merit point.
Four lines? - some of these replies stretch over 2 or 3 pages. I've started to put frequently verbose posters on ignore, but I'm getting to the stage where half of the replies in many threads are on ignore.

I see some over-replied topics (600-1000+ replies) yet this replies from 10-upward pages are unnoticed/ignored and some are redundant answers.
I think its better to limit the replies to avoid these topics to keep appearing in the latest posts and so that users will make a new topic or reply on the unreplied topics.
It's really hard to control these spammers, but limiting replies would still have consequences. For example, we cannot guarantee that we could get an outstanding answer within the limited replies. Another instance that this may be a bad idea is when an interesting topic arise, a lot of non-spammer member may show interest by continuously interacting with other members.

Browse the forum and you will find threads with less than 10 replies where over half of them will be redundant. I don't see anything wrong with megathreads.

There are even threads that have more than thousands of replies and if you will scan through it most are redundant and generic replies. However, it seems that there's nothing to be done because there are even other threads that are almost the same as other thread but just rephrased.
You would then run in to "Should I buy bitcoin (Continued)" or "Part 2/3/4/5/etc" threads.
I agree that almost all the replies to topics like those are worthless, but limiting replies will result in duplicate threads, and conversely more spam.
