Unfortunately, you would never know if someone is posting in an extremely old, locked thread. Hypothetically speaking, there could be dozens of people posting in a particularly normal locked thread from 2007...perhaps discussing infiltration strategies. This could be happening as we speak. And you would never know.


When locked threads are posted in they dont re-appear in the hot topics for normal users, but they do (re-appear in the hot topics) for mods.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

YEEEEEEEEEEES

If you're that adamant about it, wouldn't you think they should rather fix it?

The moderators aren't coders and are not capable of fixing site issues themselves

I sometimes leave tabs open for a while before eventually responding due to the fact that I'm multitasking and don't always have the time to respond right away. I don't like this new ruling because I feel like there won't be an adequate enough way to distinguish users who posted legitimately vs. those who abused it.

I'd be fairly upset if I was moderated for unintentionally breaking a rule due to VGC's unresolved bugs.

 

And no, I'm not just saying this to be "that guy." I have accidentally posted in locked threads a few times before due to the fact that I had them opened from before they were locked.

Trollian is a site admin.

And he's not a coder, to the best of my knowledge.

The last time we had an admin who could and did actively tinker with board code was TalonMan, I think.

There should be a period of grace for 1 hour after a thread is originally locked. After that, posts should result in moderation.
