Lock topics?

Don't get me wrong I don't mind when old topics are locked but I think there should be an exception in the tips and tricks section. Tips never go bad really so even old ones could be good and bumping them up shouldn't be considered a bad thing. Anyone agree?

  • I dont think tips and tricks are ever locked?
  • When old post are brought up they are
  • only if the one who started the post isnt playing anymore or there is a similar topic already opened.

    <br>Even if the original player isn't playing the tips can still be helpful, although I do understand if there are posts basically coping others
  • Old, outdated, or incomplete guides are locked. For example, one of them locked by me was a giftie list, when it was ages old, the original poster doesn't play, and we've got a new maintained one from another user. Posts that require the main thread to be updated (like lists) are likely to get locked if it gets bumped up and the user no longer plays and/or hasn't been seen in a while. <br><br>I don't believe any <span style="font-weight:bold">valuable</span> thread has ever been locked. While we each have our own opinions of value, threads are locked at the Ops interpretation of its value. If it's a common type of information that players request, of course we wouldn't lock it, but if it's a useless/old guide that was based off of game-play five years ago, we'd lock it. <br><br>Duplicate or copy-cat type of posts are locked as well. Like the above example, some subjects only need one topic. It would be insane if half a dozen people tried to have an active giftie list, or an active highest stats list.
