Auto-Lock

Hello Shri,

Few quick things, first of all I was wondering if there is anyway to have threads lock themselves after a time of no replies. I have seen a number of threads that were dead for over 1 year and then someone randomly replies. I mean it is not something that happens all the time, but if it is something that wouldn't be hard to imput than it would be worth setting it at like 2 months of inactivity or something or even 1.5 months and it locks right up.

Also how do you give someone reputation? I have looked around before and not had the option/known how. I would love to be able to share reputation myself, as some folks have given me reputation.


Lastly: I wanted to ask about some more basic things.

-Why does post editing end after 20 minutes? Why can't users edit their threads for a little more time than that so information can be updated etc.

-I know you may hate me for this idea also, but what about offering custom titles for posters who help out on a regular basis or do something special? Meh, it's not important on any level as I love things the way they are. Just thought it could be fun.

-What is up with your two usernames? Just curious why you have Shri and Knowitall. Want to know if it is just cuz or if there is an actual story behind it.

Well that is all my questions for one day. Sorry to bog you down with about a million questions!

Signed,

The Royal Chigger

Knowitall is his real name.

>> reputation?

Use the "Rate this post" link on every post.

>> Why does post editing end after 20 minutes?

Leaves too much room for problems. Nutters usually start a problematic thread, get everyone worked up .. and then sneak back and switch the thread around.

>> offering custom titles

Reputation bars are good enough.

Has both pros and cons, the cons outweigh the pros .. so, no thread locking.
