Dear Devs: Please lock threads that are 3-6 months old without new responses.

Getting really tired of a single troll able to control the front page by necro'ing months/years old threads.

The obvious solution is to block the troll, not the threads.

There is value in being able to resurrect threads when appropriate.

Also a alternate recommendation to be more proactive about locking specific threads that get overheated and should not continue even when current.

(Also threads that have clearly run their course and are being kicked up repeatedly by each incarnation of obviously-the-same-poster.)

What bothers me is when some topic is about an issue thats been resolved for years. Like the tanks leaving a dungeon with no penalty that recently got resurrected. If its an issue ongoing, i understand. Otherwise, treat like the debug logs and call it resolved and lock it

Blocking the troll only lets you not see their posts. They still bump useless threads back to the front page.

I mean, for the moderators to block the troll from using the forum. Moderate the discussion.

How about no?

Culturally this board seems to prefer the bumping of old topics and merging of topics over the creation of new topics.

There is no desire to answer every question all over again every 6 months.

If by "this board" you mean "one guy" then you are correct. The rest of us don't like it one bit.

I bring back up one of my suggestion threads every now and then for an item that's technically in the game that players can't get yet. I'm not gonna make a brand new post for the same thing over and over again. Speaking off, lemme go bump my old thread

I just want the moderation team to stop beating around the bush with this one, yes his posts are always borderline, no his intent is not genuine. Ban the troll already.
