What's milk got to do with it?

Old threads are locked because of milk?

I noticed a thread was locked because it was "old".

Can somebody explain that logic.

If people have enough interest to bump it, then it is still active. If people don't like the topic, it will soon disappear.

I'm just unclear how it "helps" the forum. Who thinks "great, that topic is locked, that's why I love this board".

Or are people more likely to say, "WTF, that was unnecessary Mod intervention".

A nice example of how Mods can screw the board by micromanagement.

When a Mod does something, he needs to ask himself, "Why is this necessary and how will this improve the board".

You almost exactly like me when I pm'ed IKE about this awhile ago.

I think it is time that all actions by an Admin/Mod are recorded 'where they occur'. i.e. If a post is moved, deleted, edited, merged then the Official concerned should leave his/her calling card at the thread concerned.

There are/were far too many posts disappearing and could not be traced. If an Admin/Mod 'jokingly' edits a post then he/she should PM the member concerned and explain their actions.

If they edit posts, then it leaves their mark.. they have no option on this with this software.

When i edited Jonno's titles (as an example)... he knew it was me, i did PM him too..

The bumbing old threads use to be somewhat annoying when there was more members,
some new threads got lost on second or other pages if old ones wass bumbed up.

You know, one asks a question, it drops to second page because of old threads arising,
and the question dont get enough time to ppl to see and answer.
Not many ppl checks out the second page and beyond.

Thats my view on it.
Im sure i'll be raped about it.
