Expanding forum auto-cleaning

Will TypeRace Team forum be auto-delete now too?

So for personal Clarification and me understanding: This is basically sally doing all the auto deletion so Mods can do the other proper things that Mods are supposed to be doing? Such as handling the large stack of reports, other general tickets, and PMs where necessary (provided they are not ticket-required, and general question help?) Like how the Trades forum is handled for auto deletion and clearing out- 😳

Hello, in the Journal Rules it states: "Journals may be deleted for inactivity after 3+ months without a new post, or an edit to the first or last post." Will this be changed to no longer take edits to the last post in account but only to the first post?

I think my only concern is with the Suggestions forum. We are often told to check the Rejected Suggestions forum to see if something has been rejected in the past. If rejected suggestions older than 2 months are deleted, then we may well see people suggesting the same thing over and over again every 2 months, and we can't point them to the old threads, unless there's something else in the pipeline to manage this specifically. Other than that, sounds great! Less busywork for the mods is always nice. Type Race threads should probably be included too.

We are aware of this issue and will be trying to keep the "list of rejected suggestions" better updated going forward.

This change is going into effect now, with the modification that the Suggestions forums will not be touched without manual intervention.

Related to journals: this change just deleted the Type Race Template Storage Room thread, which was a personal journal but that everyone does to to make our team threads. Is there any way to revive and lock this one?

While I am unsure if there is a way to keep it from being deleted ( I'll check with Niet and have him let you know ouo/ ) I have restored the thread in the meantime. My apologies for that ouo/

If a mod Stickies it, then it won't be deleted. Sticky threads are immune to auto-moderation.

Well that explains why my journal was deleted despite the first post being frequently edited. I'm sure I'm not the only one this happened to, as well. Does it no longer check for that?
