I personally find locking threads that no one posts on to be pointless. I can see someone adding a post with no real purpose to their own thread just to make it visible is a problem and I think that is only reason that locking would make sense. If a thread starts becoming toxic, VFMs should lock it.
If someone else commented on an old thread, I feel this isn't always a bump unless it is just a short post with no opinions or reasons. Some threads do get shared and people read it late and comment on it late.
Sometimes, a VFM's last comment before locking an old thread is to create another thread because the current one is old. At the same time, when we all talk about the issue such as the boss drop nerfs, they get merged. We don't need 15 EMS Reboot threads roaming around. Why not find the old one containing the most people commenting than creating a new one?
I can see this NOT working for General because things repeat such as periods of DC, questions, etc. that occur over and over again. Each suggestion in the suggestion thread should be unique or somewhat (if a VFM consciously remembers a suggestion thread asking the same thing as the new thread, they should direct that user to that pre-existing thread.)
Do you really feel old threads bumped by users other than the original poster should be locked?
I agree that there shouldn't be 2x on the day of Thanksgiving, but there should be one for the weekend. Turkey + Family time, doorbusters, then 2x sounds more doable than choosing grinding over Turkey and pie.
Whenever you are listing an item, dropping an item, putting up mesos for trade or drop, the game asks you for a quantity. You can type whatever you want into box, but at the end it says only numbers are allowed.
Please change it so the box only accepts numbers and rejects letters and other foreign symbols.
