Also, if someone cannot understand english, how are they going to read and comprehend "If you do not understand English, you can translate using this link";) Do you find this valuable? |

Well, the definition of "Forum Necromancy" is to bring back a thread that has been long dead. Dead threads are threads that have not been replied to for months. The reason they are locked is so they do not start frivolous conversations among users. Also, if a question has not been answered for a few months, this can mean one of two things. The users either figured out the answer himself, or asked the question again, and was answered that time. Do you find this valuable? |

Why lock redundant threads? Why not delete them from the archives?

I will usually delete threads that are irrelevant.I don't lock a thread unless the topic is concluded or if it goes off-topic. Do you find this valuable? |

If the thread was advertising, I would message the person and let them know, to advertise on WPADs and delete the thread. If if were anonymous, I would delete the thread without a message. Same with irrelevant threads, Message where I could and delete. I spent a month deleting irrelevant threads from 2006 to 2008.and didnt even make a dent in the amount that still remains. Addendum - I also deleted over 4500 photos from the photo gallery. And not any my work upped my contribution count. Do you find this valuable? |

"Also, if someone cannot understand english, how are they going to read and comprehend "If you do not understand English, you can translate using this link"I uploaded an image of some flags that may give a visual representation for that sentence for those who need translation. The image can be linked to Google's Translator. Do you find this valuable? |

I usually delete advertising threads and threads that have nothing to do with Wetpaint.
