Coffee Pancake Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) So I made a feature request ... Quote How would you like the feature to work? I would like forum threads to auto lock after a set amount of time since the last reply .. say a year. Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community? This will prevent long dead threads being resurrected. Especially as it tends to happen with support questions where a user with a problem will search for solution, find a similar discussion from 2015 (or much older) and then add their question to it, this causes confusion about the new problem and hinders attempts for residents to support each other. Necro threads are never of value and only add clutter and distraction. A new thread is always preferable. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-225024 Please keep the discussion here rather than on the JIRA <3 Edited July 9, 2018 by CoffeeDujour 6 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Apart from writing a programme to do it, which I very much doubt LL will do, it can only be done by LL if the Invision software already has the feature. Do you know whether or not it has? I don't see necroed threads as a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Deakins Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Good point! It's probably best if I don't watch on Wednesday then, but it's very unsporting, and a bit of low blow, bringing cute baby animals into it. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

This is a "Necropost" thread, and derailing Necropost threads is an ancient and time honoured Tradition... One that you want to do away with, you Tradition hating person you... If you have your way, this may be the last Necropost thread ever, and thus the last one to be auto-derailed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't decide if it's an actual idiot, or just a "prove a point" alt made by a "lock old threads" supporter... Ho hum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
