I dont want to sound like a preacher....
But there is one thing I noticed.... There are lots of new members who come to this forum.... Newbies.... They are not acquainted to the rules of the forum.....So they might end up posting personal questions like that of Iq's gf or some repititive topic....
I know the dev team has been directed to lock such topics due to technical reasons.... But can't yoube a little lenient in locking topics started by newbies? Or even if you do lock topics started by them.... You could still give them a reason as to why their topic is being locked...
You come to a forum..... And start a topic... with no bad intention... Yet next day you find your topic locked with a message- STOP SPAMMING THE FORUM.... or ITS NONE OF| YOUR BUSINESS....
Not the knid of welcome anyone would want rite??đ So couldnt you just look at the number of posts of a certain member before locking the topic??
