Duplicate Thread Policy

Creating Duplicate Threads

This category includes:

  • Creating threads about existing topics
  • Creating a separate thread about an existing topic for further discussion in more than one forum

If a player is found to have participated in such actions, they will:

  • Be given a temporary ban from the forums, depending upon severity

Can this start being enforced? It’s tiring to see the same topic come up in new threads over and over again in the wotlk classic section.

i agree we need more t copycats

passes out tomatos to throw at me

Than there is a necroing policy.

This is what’s confusing, can’t necro a existing or create a duplicate that should be recent and not 1 month or more.

:panda_face:

You want to ban 75 percent of thread makers at that point :skull:

That’s gonna be kind of hard to manage seeing as people aren’t gonna scroll through a month’s worth of posts if they have something they really want to talk about.

The egrarious ones need to be removed, but that would require The Mods getting off of their… whatever they’re doing… and actually do their job

Not going to happen

I think they need to explain things better.

Where do you find this information out? lol Is this something to do with CoC? I like CoC.

What if some new person googles a subject or topic about WoW and it is two years old and they reply and they didn’t know? Come on.

It’s in their forum code of conduct

You think they don’t enjoy the hatred in the threads? lmao

No what’s confusing is they don’t have this forum configured to age away and close threads that aren’t replied to for over 30days. Other forums do this, ex: CS does it as does EU GD. Just not US GD for odd reasons.

They do, it’s set at 60 days.

“This topic will close 2 months after the last reply.”

No they don’t, it’s very clear if it’s set and it’s not on for this forum.

it is

When I look at this thread I don’t see that, I only see that in the CS forum. /shrug

Thank you, I agree with this statement so much. I hate seeing the same threads over and over, by people complaining about queues, RDF, etc.

I agree any thread with no activity in 30 days should be auto locked.

Something else EU does better than NA besides Race for World’s First.

I’ve noticed some threads were on a timer in the classic forums, it was on a 2 month timer closed.

I think this is a good idea to keep necroing happening.

Not sure what to think of to prevent multiple threads of the same thing, that has been going on for 2 years now by the same person with different accounts.

:panda_face:

It’s some forums just not all, GD doesn’t have it configured. CS does, I think classic might too.

I think all topics should be locked after 1000 replies. After the first 100 it’s usually the same people arguing the exact same points over and over again. Lounge threads can be excepted.

It helps keep discussions fresh.

The funny part is that your thread is itself a duplicate thread.

Dang. You missed your chance to link the thread it duplicates.
