Topic: Should old topics still auto-lock?

Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago #21,490

I think we should leave them open. THoughts?

@OP
I think you should be banned.

Maybe extend the time before they auto-lock – a couple of weeks instead of one or something.

If all topics were unlocked you'd have year-old threads all over the front page which would suck.

I second this proposal.

The auto-locking feature is stupid and redundant.

Yes, it's fucking retarded. A couple of people necro bump old topics so that means no-one can continue discussion longer than a week? Fucking retarded.

PM a mod/admin if you require an old bump, or just make a new topic.

A lot of people find this place through Google and other search engines, when they find a topic which is relevant to them they're unable to respond, it alienates new users and frustrates existing ones. Pointless and retarded.

Oh, really? Since when do you have access to our Google Analytic pages?

Well you see a lot of random stuff being visited on the Folks page. They can't *all* be bots, right?

@341,855 (D)
Nah. If you take away auto-lock it's guaranteed that somebody will go on a necro-bumping spree until it needs to be brought back.

@341,857 (D)
Then they can make a new topic relevant to their interests. Duh.

So they're all from Google or other search engines. Okay.

I suppose they could be from Anontalk too.

Only you seem to know. Also bots are not counted on the /folks page. It does some super secret checks to make sure you're human. Also Cloudflare.

There's no point really in keeping old topics open indefinitely. If no one's posted in a topic for a week then it's probably done. If an old topic should be re-opened for some reason, send a Mod PM and a member of the mod staff will unlock it.

That's discrimination. Maybe they could count for 3/5 of an actual visitor?
