I mean the reason for SF, not the reasons generally for that kind of thing. One historic error is the preference of punishing the bad rather than rewarding the good. I personally think that not necroposting but continuing an old topic should be rewarded, if the content posted is good or interesting, by continuing discussion in the topic. But I don't really post in real time. The ratio between the importance of a post from me and the time it takes to complete it is quite poor - I assume - especially because I want to exercise all bad and impute all good into the things I am given the time to say here. If you guys post with an attempt towards dealing with topics quickly and easily, I could see why easy rules to close a thread with stuff like necroposting makes sense. And there's also the possibility users will be reminded of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, you could just ignore all necroposts in FftF altogether (unless it's abuse/discrimination/whatever).

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Isn't there a way to autodelete topics after a certain time of inactivity? It'd also clean the forest a little bit. Anyways I'd not mind to extend the necrorule for FTTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm glad you were willing to send me the explanation. Thanks dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was an autodelete system in place, I (you) would be aware of the time threshold and would bump my (your) thread before then so that I (you) can continue it once I (you) have time for it. Though six months would be a pretty low cutoff point imho. Maybe two years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 setting up that kind of system would only catch the most fringe of posts tbh for all my bitching, some kid doing something pointless like this only happens once or twice a year, we'd spend more time setting the system up than manually locking threads at that point also like, hypothetical me literally didn't log into sf for multiple months because hypothetical me didn't have time, this wasn't a thing like i could have bumped my thread to beat some auto delete timer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Oh yeah, RIP to LPs then. I guess it's not possible to autodelete topics only in certain sections (fttf and all Fire Emblem sections). It'd be still a hellish work I think.If autolocking after one month existed, it'd save the mods lots of work and some users from lots of warning points.
