Forum auto lock topics Edit: 1

I had noticed that whats under Ctrl+V is still being posted on and It made me think, Even If a topic is posted on periodically it should be auto set to be an old post. (Gives the grave dig warning)
Now the only way to stop that is if the OP goes to the post and clicks a button, Or edits the post. This would stop posts that are old from flourishing without the creators input, But why though?
I think it is sort of annoying that no new posts can become relevant when one really old post is just thriving, But that also raises if the creator just does that all the time. And for that I would suggest a limit to how long a post could have the grave dig stat removed,
as to avoid the situation mentioned with the new system. To me It could help with new topics, And stops certain topics from monopolizing a sub forum.

If you find anything flawed about this please point it out, Suggest a way to fix it. Please do not just call it a bad system and leave, That is like saying art is bad and not explaining why or providing help. Thanks!

Like I had stated previously, I feel like the Ctrl+V topic is quite controlling. Too many people flock for it in the forum games, And not that many new topics gain attention. This had bothered me, And so I'm suggesting a way to stop topics from virtually controlling a part of the forum

I don't hate the topic, I just don't like that it is a topic everyone flocks to.

He says that if a topic has an age it should be locked against bumps.

E: and no...
