Can we get a rule where if a thread is over 30 days and the originator just keeps changing the text in the first post that its locked?

Not only is it annoying to read some of these have dozen of pages of responses that are no longer relevant to the original discussion, because the original text has changed.

Links? I have seen this in FS/FT, but not really anywhere else except for one complete moron who did it in video once a while back :disgust:

I have a better solution, just don't read it. I ignore almost all of McGowen's threads (that's obviously who you are talking about)

Build it into the forums that can you can ignore threads/posts by users and it would make it easier.

But yes, he is the biggest abuser of resurrecting and CHANGING threads. That has to stop. When he changes the first post it makes it impossible to understand the context of the replies.
