Over-replied topics

[BlackMambaPH]

Your thread is also a redundant, I mean it's already discussed in the other thread or topic. And they already made an actions about that by locking those thread and move to archive section.

Well this is the side effect from the signature campaign.
In order to fulfill the requirements of the campaign most of the users that are here to "feed their families" or "provide them with better life" or just "sir"-ing around like they are in the military / no offence but can be really annoying sometimes/, cannot contribute to the forum in any way. They are not here to discuss something,learn or even try to understand basic principle of blockchain, they just post all their week limit with mindless comments in such treads and all of a sudden the Bitcoin Discussion section in almost useless.

The merit system is one of the cures, soon most of the shitposters will give up, because of the lack of merit so by the time such long threads will be slightly reduced.

I see some over-replied topics (600-1000+ replies) yet this replies from 10-upward pages are unnoticed/ignored and some are redundant answers.

I think its better to limit the replies to avoid these topics to keep appearing in the latest posts and so that users will make a new topic or reply on the unreplied topics.

That infact is right . Most of the topics with such huge number of pages comes up with some useless and repetitive answers .
I think that the moderators must think of this matter for stopping the spamming of the topics . To be clear , the one who posts the topic must take care that the topic must be close for replies after a fixed number of replies/ comments on it.

There are even threads that have more than thousands of replies and if you will scan through it most are redundant and generic replies. However, it seems that there's nothing to be done because there are even other threads that are almost the same as other thread but just rephrased.

This was mainly due to spammers that wanted to rank up fast or rank their alts fast. Hopefully the merit system would solve one part of this issue.

The next part of the issue if that people generally don't lock their thread after their question is answered or they got enough replies to form an opinion. I assume some of them aren't aware of the "LOCK" button on the bottom of the screen.

Another thing is that everybody feels an urge to comment on things (I think this is human nature) even if their contribution isn't really going to change something or add something to the discussion, they just need to feel heard.

Maybe a solution would be to automatically lock threads (e.g. after page X fills up) but still leave an option to the OP to re-open if needed.

I have the same solution in my mind as "yahoo62278" stated earlier.

Something I think that would be great is if a thread autolocked after xx amount of days or hours with no reply in them.

I have seen many dead threads goes active again after months or years just because of one useless reply of newbies or jr.members on that thread.

Filling up repeated answers to the thread where even the creator of the thread do not turn back on it. Cleaning of old threads with too many pages of repeated replies would help kick out spam posts. Just read through the replies. Sir Yahoo's reply can be brought to the screen. Auto deletion of old thread with too many pages would reduce the work of moderators and managers. This would wash out spam threads as well.

I think if that happens that having implement auto deletion thread will lessen spam post, 15 to 20 pages that are already good enough getting a perfect answer in every thread that asking or sharing an idea in each thread. Mostly they NOT mind to the middle replies to the OP's thread, mostly they are reading the page and the last page of the thread.
Auto lock or auto deleting a thread if reach the maximum pages which is a good idea in MEGAthread only.

The idea is great. But still there is a possibility that the topic will be spammed.

To add some suggestion, it is better to include how many merited replies are there in the topic so that people could only read the useful comments that would help the forum. If we can add a "Merited Replies" button which are already filtered (just like we view our own sent & received merits), the readers could easily find their answers to the question of the OP. This would really saves time on the reading part of the member. Gaining Knowledge in the forum would be faster which could also result to a healthy discussion in the forum.
