Necroposting Prevention

Name: Necroposting Prevention

Suggestion: After a post has gone uncommented on for a certain amount of time, the topic automatically becomes locked. Or the topic must be approved before the rest of the community can see it.

Why should we implement this? This will prevent Necroposting by not allowing new posts to be posted on old topics.

How will this improve the Forums? This will prevent necroposting and reduce the amount of warning points given out on the server.

@ Carvis @Duck Im well aware that it isnt hard to just... not necro. However, why not just prevent the issue all together. Thats like me saying “Oh well I have a solution that ends all crime and this is how we can do it” and your response would be, “well just dont commit crimes”. Crimes will be committed, just like people will necropost again. If there is a way to stop it, then why not.

It's such a non issue, who cares?

Necroposting doesn't happen very often, though if it does they're just opening themselves up to forum warnings.

Secondly, the amount of time spent "dealing with necroposting" wouldn't warrant any amount of effort into an automatic locking system, which in turn could be detrimental in some scenarios.
