Auto Thread Locking Mod

nonamekiller · Jun 3, 2008

Well, my suggestion is to get the auto-locking mod for Sythe. This will eliminate the rule of grave-digging, because after "x" amount of days of no activity in the thread, it will be locked. I already know where the mod is on vbulletin.org, so PM me if you need it. Basically, the mod will automaticly lock a thread if it isn't active for "x" amount of days (Admins/Mods may set the date.)

At least now people won't get infracted for grave-digging...

Post thoughts... and if you don't something I said, tell me and I'll explain it better

this will encourage more spam, people who have a topic they like will bump it more frequently

Nooo not really.... and this will lock most of the old threads that get grave-digged now a days.......

It won't encourage spam..... if a thread isn't active for "x" amount of days, it will just be locked...

and if the thread hasen't been active for a while, why would someone just post in it?

I agree with Finniscool, however if it could lock a thread that is about 3 or so months old it would work, because sometimes the odd person bumps a really old thread.

Its a good idea but I have my vouches in a thread and if it got locked then id need to get it unlocked again so I can get more vouches onto it so I say no

Exactly, "the odd person". I don't think we really need a mod just for them.

As everyone else said this will cause more spam, also allot of interesting topics have gone to the back pages just because the person was inactive for a while.

Also allot of topics would be reposted.
