Suggestion: Lock posts for comments after they have been answered

To the community moderators,

Many forums lock discussions after they have been answered - not necessarily straight away, but after a week or so.

This prevents people putting SPAM comments on posts that have already been answered, and stops people tacking NEW questions onto already answered posts

I'd like to suggest the following

  • Posts that have been marked as Answered be locked from ADDITIONAL comments being made
    • EXCEPTION: Anyone who has contributed to the post should still be able to add and edit their content
  • Posts older than 3 months that have not been marked as answered be locked from ADDITIONAL comments being made
    • But allow the original author to re-open the issue if they want to

Forum Tips: 1. Paste images inline - don't attach. 2. Always mark helpful and correct answers, it helps others find what they need.
