I know that, in theory, if a forum post is not replied to within around a month, it gets locked for inactivity … but this confuses me.
I’ve looked at our realm forums and active threads are still active, and a bunch have been locked because they haven’t been replied to … HOWEVER, there are also a bunch of threads where the last reply was in October/November last year … and they’re still unlocked.
I’m wondering if they were ones that were copied over from the old forums, and have retained the “rules” from the old forums? Because I also notice that some of them have the same character replying to their own posts (which we can’t do anymore).
It would be nice, by the way, if there was a slightly different “ruleset” applied to the realm/recruitment posts. By their very nature they get less conversation on them, and often the same person (for example a recruitment officer) would want to reply to keep it up to date and live.
