make it so threads automatically locks if inactive

[Katana]

alright this is really needed, so many randoms go necro posting in inactive threads or new people just bidding not knowing its an old thread, bumping it up then more people give it activity. make it so if a thread doesn't get replied to within 1 month or so, it gets automatically locked. since many people sign up to sell their accounts then leave once sold, forgetting to lock it / marked as sold. this should also be done for banned members, not sure how hard this will be to add but if its not too hard/expensive then it should. as well as if the user bumps the thread, the lock timer resets.

And if the thread is bumping, so time of locking reset again. And automatically locks for banned people.

We already have an auto-lock feature set up, although I’ve just checked to verify that it is working properly and realized that none of our new forums were set to be included in the scheduled lock. Which was quite a few, since we’ve made a lot of node changes recently.
I’ve gone ahead and added all of them.
Automatically locking banned user threads isn’t set up or possible at the moment though, so I’ll leave this open for discussing that.

could u make the auto lock so it locks if no activity within 1 month, not 200 years.

Locking banned users threads outside fo selective forums (Such as general discussion) but in other forums (Such as Giveaways/ All Services) is definitely the way to do it.

Also, how long is it till the auto lock for inactivity kicks in?

I think that what it's currently set to works perfectly well. Having it higher has very little downsides but decreasing it will likely lead to uses having problems with their threads being locked when they don't want them to be.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion
