We've all seen it.
Usually in a Review, or For Sale thread.
A new member comes along, and 99% of the time posts something along the lines of;
Me too!
That's cool.
Thanks.
How did it work out?
Etc,.
Of course the thread is bumped, and every single person subscribed to it gets a notification. Sometimes this leads to a productive discussion.
More often though it just results in a bunch of people getting annoyed, and bumping the thread even more, telling the offending necroposter not to do.
Question - Is it possible to just have threads automatically lock if they have been inactive for over a year?
If someone wants to add something to the thread, a moderator or admin can easily unlock the thread.
OR
Is it possible to same way as with the B/S/T have posts made in threads, where the previous reply is over a year old, go to moderation first?
