Question

suggestion: auto-close questions after a year
suggestion 2: implement locking feature in which you make users unable to reply to locked questions
suggestion 3: lock posts after a year

Answer 1

Hmm this seems pretty interesting. I like whole 'Lock Post' feature.

Answer 2

Because I have posts I want to post, but I don't want anyone to comment. Like tutorial posts and all

Answer 3

Make it so only mods can lock posts.

Answer 4

Cool idea, to temporarily lock a question when there's too much heat, or permanently locking tutorials.

Also an option to lock a question on top of the question stream would be helpful, so that it will remain on top. Example would be a anti-cheating warning during finals week.

Answer 5

@poopsiedoodle You are so smart. Great ideas.

Answer 6

Maybe users could lock their own posts tho, comp
I don't really see what would be wrong with that

Answer 7

Is this the close feature? I have been wondering. See attachment.

Answer 8

How about only Mods can lock questions, like tutorials, spam questions, etc.
Auto-close is when a user has not commented in that post at all for an entire year or more.

Answer 9

Great idea!

Answer 10

I like suggestion 2.

Answer 11

I don't like suggestion one but great ideas

Answer 12

The problem is, the post would need to go somewhere. I know we have an EC2 Server; maybe closed; deleted questions should be placed on another, smaller EC2 server so the site doesn't lag.

Answer 13

well it would still go in the closed questions section if it gets closed, and if it gets locked, it would stay in the open section unless it gets closed as well

or there could be another section for locked questions

Answer 14

hmm.

Answer 15

keep locking all stuff
i'm going to have all keys :D:D:P

Answer 19

Ir's mt psat scores.

Answer 20

no tips >.<

Answer 21

^^^^^^^LOL

Answer 22

Oh my scores are fine; I meant that I was not looking at tips.

Answer 23

At first I thought this was a good idea, but practically speaking I can't see the reason to make a developer add this feature since it's really minor and practically invisible.

Answer 24

But it would be pretty useful to have, especially for mods and people in technology-related groups (engineering, comp sci, etc.)

Answer 25

But the auto-close shouldn't close tutorials after a year...
