What happened to the Community Reps and Moderators on here?

+1 to actual forum infrastructure to fix it; a lot of stuff that is pretty common in more well-maintained forums:

-Auto lock after 2 weeks of inactivity
-outside of tech support/help, new members can only respond to existing threads until some number of posts to unlock new thread
-certain in-game requirements (this one has the “must have played within the last 15 days”, but I’ve seen some requiring an amount of playtime or level or reach a certain point in the game)
-Use of respected/vetted player-mods to moderate for free (has good and bad points)…

not necessarily all good, but it is surprising not to see more..I dunno… something on this board.

-Auto lock after 2 weeks of inactivity

That would be a restrictively short timeframe for any real long-standing discussion.

A functioning moderator would have the power to manually lock threads that are repeatedly bumped for drama-garnering purposes, which would solve a great deal of the cyclical bumping here, as it's always a pattern of the same threads bumped en masse by the same pattern of posters.
