[Forums] Moderator Applications

So, there are some old applications out there that are clearly no longer in use, yet people are still replying to them saying "Support" and "No support", etc. I personally view this as a form of post farming, but it's an easy way to make it seem as if you are not.

Basically the suggestion would be something to do with the application itself, if it bypasses a certain amount of days without being replied to, or if the applicant hasn't been on the forums in a certain amount of days.

Idea for suggestion:

Any application that has not been replied to in thirty days should be archived.

This thread is open to discussion and extra suggestions on the similar topic. Thank you.​

 

Yeah...I feel like this should be considered post farming. Someone's application from 2013 is being commented on right now when they haven't been active in a very long time.

 

That's what sparked this thread to be made. Though, I probably should have placed it within the "Ideas and Suggestion" section as I am allowing people to have some input on this also.

Hint hint to any mods reading ;)

 

Support, this is not a big deal though >.<

 

Well I mean post farming isn't really allowed, and this does seem to happen quite a bit.

 

It's not so much a big deal, it's just something that could be implemented as an easy change.

 

Maybe they could be able to be gravedug, only with a lot longer time than 1 month? It is kind of annoying

 

I think they should archive applications that haven't been replied to within 30 days, I am aware there are a lot of applications but if all the moderators chip in and do a few each day it won't take so long.

 

Pile and I had archived the majority of the 2014 applications at the start of 2016, cleaned up about 100 pages.

Support.

 

An archive of all applications older than 30 days that are still open would be good. So, asking. Would you guys prefer that to be the suggestion or shall we spitball some more ideas?

 

I'd prefer the suggestion be that they just archive all moderator application threads that haven't been replied to within thirty days.

 

Support, it is annoying when people keeps on farming posts.

 

Support. Annoying af when people post farm.

 

I can fully agree with that. Changing thread to suit.

 

Support, there are so many old applications

 

Support, I don't know if there would/could be an automatic system but a manual system would work

 

Support, I see to many applications from 2015 (beginning) That weren't commented on until today Because the player stop playing.

 

Support. c:

 

Support, if people don't reply to it, it just shows that you're not sincere enough.
