Prevent posting in old threads

I was warned today for posting in a year old topic.

Now, while I admit I should have checked the date on it before posting, I have to ask the Administration, and whoever Moderates the Video Game Emulation forum why it was still open in the first place.

You'd think they would've locked it long before I posted. But they didn't. They locked it after I posted.

As much as it was my lack of common sense, they could've taken measures to prevent something like that from happening. So, why then, was it still open?

Not sure myself. Try asking one.

Well, this IS for the admins, so I'll wait for them to find this on their own.

Because we believe members have enough common sense to read the last post date, we don't think we should lock every old topic because we like to think members are a bit smarter than that.

And how many new members follow that "rule"?

You're part of the minority that doesn't, I'll say that.

EDIT: Gah, whine whine, bitch bitch, it's a 5% warn increase, it's a small amount, just watch the post dates and quit pissing your pants over it.

Ok, if you're going to be an asshole, then consider me gone for good.

One of those days where the beginning sucked and you need something to rip on.
Yeah, it's wrong to take that shit out on another member, but I doubt you wouldn't rip on someone if your day sucked.

Can't you abuse members at The Sonic Ringstar instead?

Oh wait, Ringstar has no members. My bad.

I would have gone off on every active forum member by now then.

I like zero. It's the number of strikes you have left before your ass follows Yinyang's out the door.

Wow, I go off on one person because I'm pissed off then I'm one step away from being booted out.
Karma sucks, this just bit me in the ass bigtime :/

EDIT: Jeez, I fuck up ONCE and I get demoted?
