Re: new option to author lock

so... a silent reply that doesn't move the topic up the list?

He means the OP of the thread can silent-post and nobody will receive a notification about it nor see it in "new" tab.

Don't really see the point - forums are about discussions, this won't drive any discussion. What are your intentions?

It's so people don't bump posts from a long time ago but they can still reply. (Wouldn't know why you would reply to something old or how you'd even get there)

No.

People find locking annoying because “can’t respond”

Alternative is

I don't think this is very usefull because topics are closed with a reason, such as being old and not being used anymore. If you reply but no one gets notified of it with a blue dot or it going up, what's the point in posting a reply in the first place? It's not like someone clicks it and goes to the last page for no reason because they don't see anyone posted it.
