    So, I noticed that in help sections and other forums sections have like 8+ pages with super old threads which (when posted in) will be counted as grave digging, so therefore, they have no reason to be there and also points out the player who created the thread is either inactive, or solved the thread without asking a mod to lock it. Now down to my suggestion.

    After a month (or how ever long it is until it is counted as grave digging on a post after a certain period of Inactiveness) the thread automaticaly gets locked and archived. This makes Mods job easier, and the forums more neater. I hope you like the idea guys :)

    Moderator Applications should not be locked, you never know, Cyp might wanna accept them. They could be locked if the player is completely inactive from the forums and/or in game.

    Here's a suggestion.
    I know in Discussion and other sections on the skyblock forums, if a thread is over a month old, we lock it, to prevent gravedigging.
    No archiving.
    So maybe that could work.
    Also, about resolved problems, they should always be archived.

    But new topics are being made every day, and for you to be locking every old thread by yourselves would take a long time. That's why I thought it should be done automatically.

    Support. But just locking old threads, not archiving.

    I think Gemmalove said it best.
