1.Threads that have not been replied to in over 2 months are autolocked. Quite simple really but it can cut down on these people who bump these older threads. This also automatically locks threads from 2011 or lower, every month that goes by another month will be added to the 'Auto lock if thread is before XX/XX/XX.

2.I also would like a way for the OP to lock their own thread, sometimes it's just necessary. There will be a warning after you click saying 'Are you sure?'.

3.Another thing I would like is a Lock Thread button you can press if it's not your thread, after 500 users have pressed that button it is locked. This isn't really alt abuse-able. The only problem is auto-bots. Well I have a solution taken from another friend, if you want to press it you have to do a Captcha. So this is no lighthearted thing any little kid would want to do.

4.There could also be an,'on post count reach >=1000 lock thread' If any thread reaches that amount I'm sure a moderator would have said something on it.
<-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_->
Please keep each of these ideas separate to each other.

Also anything that you do not support I would like a reason or an improvement to make you support.

WNTS- I'm not sure if any of these are WNTS but if they are I'm sure this should be an exception since it improves the community.

I am the ghost that replied. for some reason It won't let me post though, I have some hidden word that is not allowed.

Anyways, In short

2. Is the only reasonable suggestion.

I can try and explain again but I will Have to figure out a new way to word it and do it one at a time since It was blocking me.

1. There are many instances where Threads will be inactive for months in C&G

3.The community is abusive twords people and would have threads locked constantly for no real reason, they would probably host "Locking nights" where they go around locking every thread thats posted that they can.

4.Spam and Flame wars would fill up good discussion posts fast and ruin them.

1.

We could limit it to certain forums.

3. Good point. Discontinued

4. Raise the limit to 5000 then.

4. Would then have no purpose. No one ever hits 5,000 posts. Useless update.

1. That would be pretty hard to do since its not really needed.

Over 1000 reply lock? This would not be good for non-help and non-suggestion threads.

I support 1, 2, and 3, but not four, if it auto locks at that point, the Roleplaying, and forum games would be destroyed.

@frau

We came up with a solution, we limit it to certain forums.

@heroz

But some of them like any of Telamon's threads that are really old get bumped often, really annoying.

Well actually this stops Necro bumpers, it stops old ideas that are no longer relevant to start up again.

If any forum needs it it's S&I. I understand it might be difficult to implement (I don't know how the site works) but I hope that a company that has created a multi-national creation game can do this.

As I said, old threads are there to be bumped if you need them, some threads should not be but others are there for that purpose.

Trying to limit it with all the archivable Forum posts would be impossible.

2. Is the only reasonable idea. but only if once it is LOCKED, it CAN NOT be Unlocked again.

 1. Old threads don't always deserve to be locked, as they can still be relevant.
But yeah, maybe increase it to 6 months. That gives the thread time for it to be confirmed dead.

 2. Support

 3. No need. Just report the thread for it to be locked.

 4. http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=36987985

Only reasonable one was where people could lock their own threads.

1. So something like an auto prune? ROBLOX isn't a BBS.

2. Check the option 'Do not allow replies to this post' under the post body.

3. A moderator would act faster than 500 users.

4. This isn't a good idea, it's rather pointless.

About number two, what if they get negative replies and want to lock the thread to prevent trolling.
