Default Suggestion to tackle thread mining

Hey!

After a recent strike of thread mining by I6T5 in the e-series section it got me to thinking if it was possible to somehow automatically lock threads when they have become inactive for a certain amount of time or archive them or something?

It seems to be a common occurance in the e-series section and people are really starting to get confused and annoyed with it.

So is there any way that we can tackle thread mining?

The issue you have with that is it might be a thread of substance to someone one day and so you would have to go through each thread and only lock the pointless ones rather than having them lock after a certain amount of time

Good point, i think its mostly a post count thing where the culprit is just trying to up his count. either freeze the count or send the dude a pm , if all else fails maybe a small holiday will work wonders

No, the user doing this "I6T5" aka Damo, is simply doing it out of spite because he has been half assed banned and wants to stir trouble...
They are having a laugh about it (and FFAU) on ea falcon . com

I was browsing their new forum, and some are trying to cause trouble, trying to get banned...

Why do I feel so ashamed of being associated with e-series... :S

lol. Sometimes it does get like that.

I must admit though, once I actually did make one of those threads. I made the "I just got clear indicators" thread last year, after I'd put them on the car. That was because my car was always regarded as the complete stocker, and this was the first real change in it's appearance.

Sorry boys but how many times do you ask a question and get referred to the search button. Its not about getting your post count up its usually got to do with the fact that someone needs clarification on an issue already discussed.
