Why old topics are not locked

[Crypto123 0]

When I browse the forum in order to do some responses, I use a nice feature on the forum is NEXT UNREAD TOPIC and it is very comfortable in working really, but the problem that faces me is that I have old topics appearing for more than two months and I do not want to respond to these old topics because they have become old and the topic The one you're talking about has been a while ago, but I find that there are a lot of members making responses even after all that time.
My question is why these old threads are not locked and they are read-only so that no one can respond to these topics.
What do you think, whether you are with me or against closing old topics?

The reason the moderator does not lock in old topics is that there is still a good and constructive discussion on the topic, the moderator will lock in the topic when there is no discussion to continue because the topic has been answered

Yes i agree with you, just because topic were old it doesn't mean the moderators will lock that. If good discussion are still happening on that old topic, well it's good if they still open it and other members can share thoughts about the said old topic.

Maybe the reason why admins dont lock the topic is maybe there is a good content on that topic. so what you mean is if a topic is old we should lock it, well that's a really good and bad, what if the topic is really have good contents.

Thank you for your interaction, yes that is correct. There are good old topics and they are valid for discussion so far. I do not disagree with you in this opinion, but I mean some topics that are no longer valid For example: There is a topic two months ago about the rise in the price of bitcoin or another currency and you find some people responding to it until now, even though the discussion in it became useless. This is what I want to say. In general, I expect a period of two months sufficient for discussion, in order not to allow the opportunity for spam to take advantage of the old issues.

I think that it is not closed is because administrators of this forum think that there could be a new user in this forum who might add new knowledge about that particular topic. What I don't understand is why they do not close topics that has been already answered, because replies are always repeating, saying things over and over. I suggest that if a topic is answered correctly, lock it immediately.

I think the reason why the old posts are still open because the discussion there is still interesting and useful the only reason the moderators locking the posts if the post is not interesting anymore or the discussion becoming off-topic.

I think you have said all the reason why old topics are not lock. As far as useful old topics are still interesting(users are still posting) l don't think there is any reason why moderator will lock up the topic.

Yeah because even I, I prefer to comment on old topics because they are really interesting to interact unlike some new posts today they are just spam content.

yes I agree with you, I haven't even thought about this before. Maybe as long as there is still some debate, the moderator will not close the topic yet

I did the same question . they must close the old topics specially those who where related to specific event or a specific day. I received daily so many notification from my old replies and posts. Some posts are amazing and has some room to still continue but most of the old posts has to be close now.

Yes my friend well done, this is what I want to say there are old issues and talk about things that have happened and ended and it is no longer useful to talk about them, such as the rise and fall of bitcoin prices, this price has changed hundreds of times, so is it useful for the forum to have responses on this subject so far Of course, there are good and valid topics for discussion for a long time and I am not against it, but I think that topics that are no longer useful to talk about are best closed.

But after a topic have had some reasonable share of responses, it's best to lock such threads because virtually everything that needed to be said must have been said, so to avoid rhetoric and repetitions, it is better off locking such threads.

Yes this is true, there is good topics here that many members should give their opinions about it, this is why the admins kept it open for this forum's members to give more

Here is my short take on the matter:

 

Questionnaire-type topics (already answered too many times) = a definite YES!!!

Open-ended discussion topics = no, just ignore the repetitive remarks 😄 and post something out-of-the-box instead

Topics that devolved into a flame war = yes, violent remarks not allowed here

Any other type of topics = depends upon the discretion of the regular users and/or the mods

That should be the case, because discussions will not take place in the forum and provide new space for new members to make a sound if all the old topics have been locked by the moderator and the forum turns into reading rather than discussion

Yes, this opinion liked me, can a person determine the importance of the old topic and is it worth replying or not, if it was a hot and open discussion that could be published, and if it was an old thing and it ended, it is not permissible to respond to it so that chaos does not occur in the forum.

Closing old topic are don't need to do,  because some of that is useful for newbie and how they can asked questions If this is locked

Old topics are always need to be closed because they can create more shit posts and most members are bumping them too.  If anyone wants to ask a question, then they must open a new topic instead of responding very old topics as this will be too bad.

An Example

Bitcoin price was $8k in august

and the person who posted in November Bitcoin price was $6k

How do you feel and the one who reads the topic will get misunderstood, such type of topics should be closed every month.

Opened topics had lot of disadvantages so please close them immediately every month end.

[hakimgentlemen 671]

Only moderators can lock topics according to the requirements of the forum, and I do not think that non-lock topics are useless - it's like an open debate and once the solution or purpose of creation is accomplished it will be lock.

I think if the topic is locked, surely people rarely read it again, they would love to make a duplicate topic to discuss

[Cgogogo 71]

The old post doesn't need to be locked with what I think,some post are still relevant and useful,most especially for the newbies

[Raven 7817]

I don't think so because moderators are not closing those topic because it still the best for this forum, what i mean it still useful even it is old topic, many member can still benefit to it so that's why moderators are not closing some old topics.

Yes, it is useful and who said otherwise? I am not saying it is not useful, but I say it is no longer useful to respond to it after all this time. Even if the topic is locked, everyone can still read and benefit from it, but they cannot reply to it. This is what I mean to lock old threads and not delete them.

Maybe for some clarification of those new users, if they don't understand the terms in that certain topic they could reply to it and ask those certain people who commented to it. 

[Whydoyoucare 1094]

I think the reason why they don't locked up old topics is maybe there are some good content or good replies on that topic, and i think its better if we dont lock old topics, because for new members they can still get knowledge from that old topic.

I think the one that can lock the topic is the creator of the topic. And with that the moderators give the decisions on locking it for the  the creator so that if there would be good and beneficial topic to talk with the control is on the creator of the topic. He created the topic after all that is why I think the moderators don't close old topics. And still you can find valuable information from it and can quote and ask questions to the person who post that topic and learn something from it even thou it is already an old post.

Well i think moderators are not still closing the topics because discussion or the giving thoughts that are worthy are still happening on that topic, not because they provide answer on that doesn't mean old topics need to be closed.
