    A lot of bumping does go on in the Gunz section but every single bumped thread is taken care of. If users don't read the rules before making posts, they're at a loss. Just send a report if you come across any such threads and they'll be dealt with.

    Re: Threads Autolock

    I don't see how this would work with development threads, etc, where the OP NEEDS to update their thread, gradually. And when some developments take months, asking for a moderator or senior member of staff to unlock the thread every 3 weeks or so, is just unnecessary.

    Even if we were to have a configurable auto-lock feature,like Phoenix said, if a nub bumps the thread (particularly with useless shit), you can simply report it.

    Sorry if some of what I said re-iterated other's opinions, everything I wrote was my opinion.

    Re: Threads Autolock

    Isn't locking threads part of a moderator's job?
    I don't see why it needs to be automated

    Some of our old threads are not supposed to be locked if someone were to add something, as a few of our stickies in the FlyFF section. Would be rather annoying if they got locked without us knowing.

    reporting the post. I don't see why every single thread needs to be closed because of the 1% chance it might get bumped by someone who probably doesn't know much English.
    "Report the post"
    "Report the post"
    "Report the post"
    Seriously. Reporting the post doesn't always solve everything. I support the "Autolock". Sounds like something that could be VERY easily implemented.

    Yes it does? It alerts the entire staff team of a problem so I don't see how it wont help solve a problem.

    May I understand what is the disadvantage of bumping old threads?
