Observer NoviceI've noticed that all posts in the old threads are being marked but a lot of those users have been inactive so deleting their posts could cause their account to be deleted. Might not be a good idea, just saying

The possibility of those inactive old users coming back is slim. I don't think it matters but that's me.

Observer NoviceStill would be kind of sad for people who knew them, all their old posts would be gone and everything

I do not support locking threads. Too much mod power.

Actually, they have spammed by bumping a ton of "hello" threads before.

*that didn't break the boxes may I add

so wat are you trying to say double

Just that Le1F is right, they could spam with any threads and they have done :3
This thread is locked, therefore no new posts can be made.
