BloodAngel Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I was lurking on another forum the other day and I found that they had something that warned you if you're viewing a topic that hadn't been posted in for 30 days. I know it isn't a huge problem on Tip.It but it might help stop particularly newer users from bumping old topics without realising it, unlikely to stop people who are determined to bump old topics though :P This is what it looked like on the other forum: Just an idea anyway!

The Observer Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I like it. I remember I bumped an older topic once or twice by mistake without realizing it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Bumping an older topic with relevant information in a constructive manner isn't against the rules though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danqazmlp Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I support this. Bumping topics with relevant discussion is ok, but doing so without realising it when there are more recent threads on the subject just leads to them being locked. It would also give us better leverage against those who bump old topics on purpose with no attempt to add to it in a constructive way. Want to be my friend?

D. V. Devnull Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'll support this. Somebody just make sure there's a 3-month minimum limit before it shows up for an "Old Topic", alright? :huh: ~D. V. "Good idea, even if it has a caveat..." Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bows Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Support. I'd also say 30 days is a good enough time frame; especially for boards like General Discussion where topics are moving/being created at a fast pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume Nothing Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Perhaps, change the timescales for different subsections of this site? Offtopic has some universal debates that don't outdate easily, but General Discussion topics generally outdate very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
