Do what thou wilt Romanelli, I started this thread in hopes of getting an answer 2 this.

Why is it so wrong 2 post on an old thread. Is it just an uncool thing 2 do or what ?

Why bother even having threads from a year ago available 2 revive then ?

IMO interesting threads sometimes get quickly buried and forgotten.

But when I bring one back 2 page one people start complaining with, words 2 the effect, "who dug this old thread back up" ?

Nape, you do realize this doesn't have much to do with censorship, right?

Anytime one hides something from the public view and use that they did not author, it is a form of censorship.

If I own a message board, and I see content on it that I find inappropriate, I have the right to remove it. I also have the right to entrust others to help me monitor that which belongs to me...moderators. I have the right to ban you from my board if I see fit, and I have the right to take the board down entirely if I feel like it.

There is no such thing as censorship on a message board. And if there were...what could you do about it? Are there censorship laws that apply to internet message boards?

Well, not sure on that one.

O well, no biggie, I do know a law that does apply though 😁

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution

.

Is this board based in the United States? And does the constitution say that if I own a message board, I do NOT have the right to control what people say on it?

If you have people over to your house, and they say things to you that you find offensive and rude, do you not have the right to ask them to leave your property?

You are equating the internet with my house 😲

Umm ya, in America which is a constitutional republic the laws apply 2 internet use in America.

Surely you knew that. But we can play games if you so wish. I will be back 😁

.

Put it this way. If I own a message board, it's in the United States, and i don't like what you say on it, I will moderate your posts. And if you continue to not follow my rules, I will ban you.

What does the first amendment of the United States Constitution allow you to do about?

Alright, call it 'censorship'. 🙄 Call it whatever you want.

I agree with Naples

I'm sorry, but I'll have to say a big, fat NO to this.

I don't like the auto-locking idea.

We should have a vote for this.

What's being proposed is to auto-lock threads after a set time period of inactivity. this means threads from fours ago that are still active won't be affected, but those 'lost' threads that people have forgotten about and haven't been touched in over a year can be archived.

If the subject needs to be raised again, it can be created afresh (and people can still quote older threads if they want to). I think that's what most people are asking for here, and it sounds sensible, and I think it's just about better housekeeping. If you go to page 60 onwards (approx) in the music forum, you can see most of these threads have run their course and that's approx where the cut-off will be.

All the old threads are at the end of the newer threads. How are the old threads in the way? How will archiving them prevent them from being revived? Should they be prevented from being revived?
