    Alright, so most of us are well aware that necroing threads are against the rules. However, many players are unaware of that rule and many others forget about necroing rules. So I suggest we implement this nice xenforo plugin that warns you before posting on a necroable thread. Here's a screenshot of the plugin:

    The settings for this are very configurable, such as the amount of time a thread has to be unreplied before counting as a necro among other aspects of the plugin.

    Here's the link to the plugin: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/tpu-show-warning-when-bumping-old-threads.89656/

    Is it possible to have threads automatically lock after a certain time and just pm a staff member if you need it unliocked?

    I'm sure it's possible. Not a good idea though, sometimes threads do need to be "bumped" because new and valid information should be added. Plus lots of work for us to go round unlocking every thread.

    +1 to the idea of necro warning though.

    I mean like after a few months of no one posting. It's unlikely someone has something to add to a thread that hasn't been bumped in over 6 months or a year...

    I like this - but the plugin looks like it only looks at the thread's age, and not the last post's age. Shouldn't be a problem though, if we set the necro limit to 14 days as usual. +1

    Code:
    private boolean approval = false;
    private String rating = "0";
    
    public void approve() {
     approval = true;
     rating = "+314"
    }
    
    Java > All.

    For my opinion, decipher code above. :p

    inefficient use of private fields. Lack of classname, package, imports, and constructor. No main method. 2/10
