You are taking your rudeness and anger out of the wrong person and reddit is nothing to do with official wow .
The new system is at least very logical.
What I found very silly in the previous system was that it let players post in old threads and then a forum mod would come up, wave his finger at the poster (who most of the time was unaware of what “necroing” was) and lock the thread. A lot of time wasted for everyone.
If necroing is deemed bad, then it is just logical to make necroing impossible. The other option is to allow all posting and not forbid “necroing”.

doesnt matter on theese forums, though the guild recruitment and server forums it could be removed, specialy the server forum where posts do not move so fast, and having to pump them just becuse 30 days are up is a chore, combine that whit the problem where you have to have an other guildie to do it for you becuse you can not answer your post twice.

To be fair we had that under the old system as well as people cannot be bothered to try and find am open thread on their particular gripe so started a new one.

This ALWAYS annoyed me. Not so much a forum mod, who was just doing the same-ol’, same-ol’, but more the self-righteous amateur finger-wagging by undeputised self-appointed patrollers of nebulous guidelines.
At least this provides clarity.
I give little weight to the objection that people will just make new threads. Good! If the issue is still alive, but hasn’t seen any action in a month, then better to start again with a fresh angle on it. And, as Osangar says, it’s not like people don’t open multiple threads about the same issue anyhow.
Hinklink, I’ve always thought of MMO-C rather than reddit as the Alternative WoW Forums. I wouldn’t take that 1.3M number seriously. WoW has had well over 100,000,000 people during its lifetime, so that’s what Blizzard forums would show if they measured their numbers the same way, and it’s not like you see thousands of people actually posting on reddit either. Reddit gets - what? - maybe 200 threads a day? and that’s from US, OC, and EU, and the typical subject matter is a lot less game-focused than here, lots of artwork and memes. But if you like it, by all means enjoy it! 
If you don’t get a post in it for 30 days then it’s probably a good idea to lock it as it’s not attracting people.
that is not the point, we have our own forum we use, for application, the post is there, for people to se us, not apply to us in, but due to the 30days, limit we can not update it anymore if needed.
You should be able to update it - edit it, that is - after 30 days.
I can edit posts I made that are locked after 30 days of inactivity.
What you can’t do yourself is bump it. But really, if you do have an active group, is it so much trouble to rotate the update posts?
no it aint hard to rotate at all, but it atleast for me way cleaner if one does it all the time, or so, but yeah it can be done, but stll feel there is no real need for it, to be as it is.

OK, so I found your post and I see that you’re doing it already.
I do feel that maybe the number of days could be customised to the speed of movement of the forum - 30 days for General, 90 days for Realms and Recruitment (except Argent Dawn, which could probably be cut to 12 hours! 
)
But until The Powers That be want to make that change, I guess you’re stuck with the roster.

Lmao, whole QQ response on that one. Someones hurt that the forums are dying, you could just keep it at that, no need for all this crying.
What is it with fanboy? Do i really need to explain that? I think not, if you think that was an insult than your life must be very hard, it was not.
I’m sure everyone reported them ingame as well.
Fact is battle for azeroth ignored their own special beta forums, than deleted them and wondered why nobody likes bfa (survey). Anyway those threads are older than 30 days and would still be relevant today as bfa is still in dire need of fixing. But i guess they gave up and 9.0 will it right. Stupid.
I’ve reported so many bugs via tickets and ingame tool, but after years no fixng, one google search and you find hundreds old locked threads of peope with the same issues, instead of 1. The quest line of maghar orcs is bugged for some, of course i made a ticket because i could not do anything, but it was a known bug the gm said, and it was because topics date all they way back to the beta forums. (Similar bugging).
And a little bug is not a problem, but bfa in special is full of gamebreaking bugs. And i think it’s pretty clear why. The ingame tool and forums are largely ignored. It has all be said before in a nice tone. Epic actually listens to their playerbase. Bugs are fixed within a week or two. I know from experience, blizzard just got lazy.p imo.

But here is another example, people have issues with their Epic Games Launcher. With my background in webshop development i found a fix. Till this day people thank me on reddit cause it helps them, which is nice and yes it is older then 30days yet relevant, however when they thank me it will not be bumped. Threads should not bump at all, and only get higher when there is tons of actively, again like on reddit. Also non subscribers should be able to post as it’s eye opening on reddit why people don’t play bfa. But if you’re a die hard fanboy you will not like it there as people have common sense there.
I would love to see an known bugs list that was kept up to date in one of the forums. But a whole bunch of topics of people saying they have an issue and not reporting in game so it’s not going to the right place is not helpful IMO.
The NA region has a bug report forum. It’s mostly just posts by people who have issues and no responses. I don’t see how that is helpful. The 30 days makes little difference to that. You can’t get assistance on the forums, GMs can’t help you with most bugs. They have to be fixed the other end.
I think people are very impatient with bugs now and not everything is just easily fixed. During WotLK I had two quest lines that were never fixed until very late in the expansion. One required GM intervention the other was just a very long time before they could fix what caused the issue because it didn’t affect all the playerbase.
I understand it can be upsetting when bugs break things we want to do. But the 30 days on the forums really makes no difference to that either way.

not really no. blizz just have to fob us off for 30 days~ and once it gets lost in the other posts, it shuts down. then people make new ones on EXACTLY the same post.
blizz is not known for fixing passive bugs or addressing player concerns fast recently. unless its a detriment to blizzard of course (looking at you xp potions).
