Automatic Thread Closing · **Released**: 11-18-2008

Hello guys this is my first mod ported for 3.7, it still works on 3.6 though!

Features:

Make a list of forums to either restrict the add-on to or exclude the addon from the list
Option to close sticky threads or not
Enable/disable hack
Set timelimit
All settings can be set in ACP
Option to close thread after X amount of posts
Allow certain usergroups to bypass the hack

Why?
I was getting tired of all those people necro-posting, posting in threads that are up to three years old. This is my solution

Time to install:
Less than one minute

History:
1.00 release
1.10 threadbit display closed
1.20 all settings through ACP
1.30 close thread after reply-count
1.40 bugfix
1.50 dunno what I did
1.60 option to exclude or restrict to the list of forum ids

After billions of requests, I have finally done what you did!

Note
Don't forget to click Mark as Installed!
Also, my testing system is down but the worst this hack can cause is a syntax error.

The red highlighted bit suggests this question. Does it appear locked but isn't really, or is it actually locked?

Thanks for the script.

kamaldarwish · #36 07-04-2009, 05:09 PM

Thanks for the script.

Can you add a feature to this script like a condition for the threads
if the thread is open and there was'n any post for the last x days it should be closed.

Best Regards,
Kamal

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

Oh, did I mention it's brilliant?

Works in 3.8.3 fine for me.

Somehow I cannot see the timeunits mentioned. I can select by dropdown its just that its blank. I am just counting by guess to select the option. How to fix it?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
