Let's say, hypothetically, after 100 posts, or 5 days we lock the thread so it doesn't get stale. And if it goes off-coure before hand we'd lock it then. Threads such as Super Happy Fun, Question 3, and game day threads are exempt.
We mods are just tossing around some ideas and want to get your input as well. Keep in mind though that Matty is away for the weekend so no real changes will be implemented until he gets back next week.

auto-locking and max post counts are a lot of work and they won't please anyone... when you have a progresional topic though, like the cba/how can we get under thing, after a while it'd make sense to take the collective solutions and answers an summarize them in a sticky or something... so instead of 200 posts of reading, someone can be caught up in under 5minutes.
the problem is digging out the answers to where everyone sees them to prevent (literally) hundreds of repeated questions in under a week... sometimes (like the cba thread again) it takes us days to actually figure out the answers and be comfortable that our conclusions are correct.
