    Lets be honest, most of the sh1te thats posted after the first 2-3 pages is just the same old boll0x rehashed.I've seen threads run to dozens of pages with nothing new being added...

    So should a thread be auto locked after 10 pages.

    You can see how many pages are on a thread (based on your post per page setting) before entering a thread. How about you just don't click into anything you deem to have an excessive amount of pages?

    Really depends on the type of thread?... some threads are neverending.. whereas yes I would agree, some threads should be closed after some set time as arguments and no futher contributions to the actual thread happen.

    Threads should be kept open until the OP gets the answer they want

    They should be locked after the first dumb post:rolleyes:

    Threads should be locked when certain posters derail them and then becomes an almighty PC trainwreck.

    What really gets on my tits is when 2 posters just keep having a go off each other. Throwing the same insults back and forth. It gets tiring listening to them and they end up taking over the entire thread. .
