Locking threads for old factions because of a post count?!

Im usually not one to complain about SOE policies, but this one has got to be the most illogical solution to what they are saying is "spam"

Why cant individual posts be removed if they are considered spam, instead of locking threads that go back 2-3 yrs for factions that have been around that long, and get plenty of traffic on their thread?

Virrago, Im sure Im not alone in this, and I urge you to please reconsider this new policy of yours, either pushing back this post count to a much, much, much higher number (1500, no recruitment thread in all 3 servers have reached 1500) or simply keep your MODS doing what they do already, MOD.

Once these old threads get locked and eventually disappear past the first page, most people that look at these forums will NEVER see them again, unless linked to them - what this does in a small way is it KILLS the history of a faction, or at least separates it as far as these boards go.

Im not exactly sure what prompted you to do this, but Im sure there are other solutions to whatever is causing any problems.

Thanks for your time,

but, good luck. virrago has a "certain" mindset.  i was glad to see him go away from the swg forums.

I would like it if they didn't lock the threads at 300 posts. It's a bit of a legacy in these threads. I know a lot of factions can note their progress from page 1 all the way to the end. Kind of like cutting a tree and looking at it's rings. These threads are history and I want to keep mine going.

If virrago decides to stick with the policy then I'm not going to die or something. But I would like to keep the thread open.

Oh well. :/

Unless its a technical problem with the forums, I think this idea is ridiculous. Not only that, pointless and counter-productive to the integrity of many respectful (and old) factions. Why would you do that just to start another? It makes no sense unless its 'technical.'

 Please reconsider the decision, and consider what's really gonna come about through this. Not a whole lot....

By destroying these records, the slate is effectively being wiped clean

If you erase the debt record, we all go back to zero. It'll create total chaos.
