    Not sure what you're on about there about Nazis :confused:

    A statement about locking threads automatically could easily be part of the T&C box a user has to tick when signing up to boards.ie

    If a new user comes along and just sees lots of locked threads I'd guess there'd be a fair few feedback threads querying why the threads were locked, and from this calling the Mods nazis.

    Plus I take the Drunkth Amendment following last night.

    What is the time limit (if any) between the last post on a thread and making a new post?

    Very funny. But seriously, what is the time limit (if any)?

    There's no hard and fast rule really. If the thread's still relevant, then digging it up shouldn't pose any significant issue, but for some forums that's seen as a no-no. Best bet, send a PM to the mods of the forum and ask if they think there's any problem bumping it back up.

    Thank you Dav. Finally someone has given me an informative answer. :)

    How would I know the mod of a particular forum?

    At the bottom of each forum page is a list of the mods of that particular forum.

    You can also look under their username when you come across them around the site.

    Ah, I see now. Thank you biko (I love that signature pic).

    Do I contact Forum Mods or Category Mods? Or will either do?

    Forum Mods are usually the first port of call. :)

    Best to contact forum mods. If you contact a category mods, they'll more than likely either refer you to the forum mods or consult with the forum mods themselves so it'll just take longer.

    Forum mods preferrably but give them time to respond, mods arent constantly online!
