Bumping old threads
With the current craze over a possibility of the AWB coming back, people are bumping threads that are considerably outdated. Is there any default thread lock setting that can be done after a certain amount of time with no activity in a thread?

I see no problem as long as someone has a interest in the thread at the current time. And it has a relevance to what the bumper is posting. To just bump your own thread to bring it to the top would be kinda Lame though.
Heck a moderator here just bumped a thread that was 8 years old by adding and combining my new thread to the end of it. Now that was a moderator that did that. So it should be OK for us common people right,LOL |

It's also annoying in the marketplace, where someone bumps a long-dormant sale posting with "is this still available?" instead of sending a PM to the seller.

ANY QUESTIONS should always go to the seller by PM or email. That also covers stupid "nice gun", "wish I had the money" / "wife's approval" / "a bigger safe", etc. that have ZERO to do with the OP.

As a new forum member, I have opened up a couple old threads to ask questions that weren't specifically addressed in a thread. Otherwise, it is not uncommon to start a new thread and have someone say "this has been covered before in xxx thread" and paste the link. |

And the seller that doesn't edit the OP to say "Sold", but bumps the tread with a "Sold". Last edited by BOBGBA; 11-16-2018 at 11:48 AM.. |

If the thread content remains relevant, then I see no problem with resurrecting old threads. Too bad that can't happen all the time. Like the subject of electronic ear protection. Or spotting scopes. Or.....
